Chapter 253

Natalia turned around to see Ryan Holzer standing at the doorway, watching her.

It had been a while since they last met. He had lost weight but seemed more vibrant than ever.

Ryan had come in with Dawson. He had intended to go over and greet Natalia, but Hamilton had been hovering around her the entire time.

Now, seeing her about to leave, Ryan couldn't help but call out to her.

A smile flickered across Natalia's eyes. "Ryan, it's been a while."

Ryan nodded. "Indeed, it has. How have you been lately?"

After saying this, he glanced at Hamilton standing next to Natalia, a hint of bitterness crossing his mind.

Even though he hadn't been to Silkwood City recently or inquired specifically, he was aware that Hamilton and Natalia were probably on the verge of making up. Ronin Joyner had been nagging him about it almost every day. Natalia bit her lip. "I'm okay, Ryan. How about you?"

Ryan nodded, masking the sourness in his eyes. "So-so, I guess."

Just as Natalia was about to say something more, Hamilton suddenly pulled her into his arms. "Mr. Holzer, didn't you mention something about starting to date? How's that going?"

Ryan laughed. "I heard Mr. Fowler has started the dating game too."

Hamilton's face darkened instantly.

Before he could respond, Natalia's phone rang. "I need to take this call," she said, walking away.
