Chapter 154 Without Saying Goodbye

I was flustered when I saw his name, I wasn’t going to pick it up, but my finger slipped and I hit theanswer

button.

“What took you so long?”

I rolled my eyes at his commanding tone.

Getting no answer, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing…”

“You don’t sound happy hearing my voice,” he said.

“Should I be happy?” I asked. Happy that he finally thought of me? Come on.

He said, dissatisfied. “I haven’t heard from you. Don’t tell me you didn’t know I was back

“Hey, did you check your phone? Don’t assume it’s my fault, alright? Also, why should I keep callingyou?

People gossip about divorced women all the time. You should stay away from me, shouldn’t you?”

I caught myself sounding upset because he hadn’t called me. Just as I wanted to explain, he hung up.

What the hell was wrong with this man? Why did he have to hang up on me all the time?

I nearly threw my phone away. How could he not even say goodbye?

Two days later, Ryan returned to the office. I almost couldn’t recognize him. He had grown a scruffynovelbin

beard and looked sunburnt.

“Ryan, you look awful!” I felt sorry for him, as I could easily imagine the hardships he had gone through.

Hearing my concerned voice, he froze a bit but soon recovered.

Then he pulled over a suitcase. “Give me half an hour to freshen up. Meanwhile, take a look at whatI’ve

got for you.

He then turned and left my office. I tried to pull the heavy travel case but failed. When I opened it, the

case was filled with supplier information, samples, certificates, and such.

Everything was neatly organized. I quickly got Benjamin’s help to separate suppliers that had already

signed contracts with us.

Half an hour later, Ryan returned to my office, looking much more refreshed. He then talked in detail

about the suppliers he had met.

I secretly called my mom to tell her to prepare dinner. When Ryan was away, my mom asked meseveral times to invite him over, and I promised her I would.

My mom was thrilled when I told her about it and asked me to fetch Ava.

After the meeting. Benjamin said, “Why don’t we all grab a nice meal today? This is worth celebrating.”

“We should, but not today. Help me book somewhere nice for dinner tomorrow, okay? To celebrate thatwe’ve reached a new milestone!” I said, “Every staff member is invited.”

Everyone then left the conference room in excitement.

I asked Ryan, “Would you like to have dinner at my place tonight? My parents are in Foswood, andthey’ve

been eager to see you again.”

He smiled widely. “They’re in Foswood, too? That’s perfect. I missed your mom’s cooking!”
