Ryan’s eyes were deep and unreadable as he looked at me. “I care about you, you know. I was afraid you’d get tricked, so I had someone check out Nathan’s dating history. When I found out about Miss Chancellor, I just knew you’d end things with him.”

“Don’t meddle like that,” I said, not liking my privacy being dragged out into the open. Even if it’s about Nathan, I still think his personal life deserves some respect.

Ryan instantly looked at me like a guilty puppy. “Sorry… I just didn’t want you to get tricked.”

I stared at him seriously. “Don’t go investigating anyone around me again. I know you’ve got the resources, but please, just don’t.”

“Okay!” Ryan nodded obediently. “I won’t do it anymore. But Miss Chancellor has already gone back to Hachester.”

“This isn’t something I should even know about,” I muttered, feeling even more frustrated.

Ryan immediately went quiet when he saw I didn’t want to talk about it.

I took a couple sips of water, planning to crash for a nap. Turning to Ryan, I said, “Could you give me some space? I want to get some sleep.”

Ryan blinked those dark eyes of his. “Sure, but it’s not like I have anything going on this afternoon anyway. Mind if I hang around for a while?”

“How could you have nothing to do? Don’t you have classes?” I shot back, not buying it for a second.

Ryan just grinned. “Honestly, I finished all my courses ages ago. Graduation’s not a problem.”
