Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 31

Closing the system, Ryan was about to leave, when Delyth entered his office room without any announcement.

"Ryan, what should I do now? I can’t think of anything. How are we going to explain this?"

Ryan frowned. "Delyth, how many times have I told you to not come to the company? I don’t like to bring my personal life into my workplace."

Delyth’s fingers clenched, not liking Ryan’s indifference, but she didn’t let it reflect on her expression. Keeping a panicked expression on her face, she desperately reached out to hold Ryan’s hands.

"Ryan, believe me, I didn’t want to come, but I am really scared. We were together last night and then — what if people find out? My image will be ruined. Everyone knows Arwen is your fiancée. If they find out we were together —"

"Delyth, you are overthinking it. No one will find out. It was just you and me there, and besides, nothing happened between us."

"But Ryan, we were there —"

Before she could say more, Daniel’s voice interrupted as he entered the office, pushing the door open. "Ryan, your mother —"

Daniel paused when he noticed Ryan wasn’t alone in his room. Glancing between the two, his brows furrowed slightly, and he offered a polite apology that sounded too forced. "Sorry, I didn’t know that you had a guest here."

Ryan ignored the subtle taunt in his friend’s tone and asked, "What were you saying?"

"Oh, I came to inform you that your mother called and asked me to check on you." He paused, glancing briefly at Delyth before adding, "She wanted me to look into whatever is keeping you here, but it seems like I can’t help you much with that." Daniel admired Ryan for his work ethic, but when it came to Delyth, he couldn’t help but wish Ryan would open his eyes.

This woman was undeniably an actress, especially around Ryan. How could he not see it?

Looking at Ryan, Daniel asked again, "So, how should I assist you? Should I call Madam Foster back and tell her that you are occupied with something important and might see her another day?"

"Daniel!" Ryan sighed in frustration. He didn’t like his friend’s attitude, but he knew what had triggered him.

Daniel raised his brows, "What? I was just suggesting. If you don’t agree, I won’t make the call. After all, besides being your friend, most importantly I am your employee. I wouldn’t dare to forget my place and do something that puts me in a difficult position like earlier in the afternoon."

Ryan pinched the space between his brows as he felt a headache coming on. "Help me send Delyth back. I am heading to the old villa and won’t be able to drive her myself."

"I can arrange only a ride for her since I have more important things to attend than driving an acquaintance around," Daniel replied nonchalantly, not caring that his tone might embarrass Delyth.
