I kept my head down and followed Ryan, not wanting to ask any more
questions.
I could hear people whisper behind us.
“That woman Mr. Hudson called to his office–wasn’t she here for an
interview? What’s so special about her? He seems different with her!”
“Nothing special. She’s got that innocent look, but I wouldn’t say she
stands out much.”
I touched my forehead when I heard those whispers.
Ryan calling me to his office so openly was definitely drawing some
attention.
Inside his office, Ryan motioned for me to sit on the couch while his
assistant brought us two cups of coffee.
“You called me here specifically–did you need to tell me something?” I glanced around, suddenly feeling awkward with him so close.
“Were you in the reception area earlier?” Ryan suddenly asked.
I thought the question was strange but answered, “Yeah, I even met
your ‘girlfriend‘.”
“Gabby, she’s not my girlfriend!” Ryan said quickly, “I’ve already asked
her to leave.”

Hearing him rush to explain made me want to laugh. “Don’t tell me you called me here just to tell me that?”
Ryan paused, silent for a moment.
“I know she’s not your girlfriend. Aren’t you trying to go after a married
woman?” I raised my eyebrow and gave him a thumbs–up, “Good luck
with that!”
Ryan stayed quiet.
Rubbing his forehead, he finally spoke, “I have a meeting later. You
can wait here, then we’ll head to the restaurant together.”
“I’d better leave ahead,” I crossed my arms. “Otherwise, your
colleagues might get the wrong idea.”
“You’re worried about what others might think?” Ryan gave me a
meaningful look.
“Well, I’m still technically married, even though I’m getting divorced
soon,” I joked.
He smiled, “Alright, I’ll have my driver take you.”
Just as I reached the office door, I suddenly heard him say, “You did
well in the interview today.”
I turned around in surprise, my heart racing. ‘Was he–actually complimenting me? Did I really have a chance to join Oracle Attorneys
?‘

“Don’t get too excited. I still need to consult with the other
interviewers before making a decision,” Ryan said coolly. “You’ll hear back in three days.”
“Thank you, I’ll do my best!” In my excitement, I rushed forward and gave him a quick hug before running out.
It wasn’t until I was in the car that I realized what I’d just done. ‘Did I
really just hug Ryan? Sure, hugging’s pretty normal, but this was RYAN! Vincent’s youngest uncle!‘
I shuddered, hoping he wouldn’t hold it against me.
Thinking about the hug, remembering his warmth and the subtle cologne he wore, I coughed lightly and covered my burning cheeks.
At the private restaurant, I went to our reserved room and started looking at the menu. Ryan probably wouldn’t be here for a while.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I answered automatically, “Hello?”
“Gabby, get to the hospital quickly, something’s happened!” It was my mother’s voice, full of urgency.
