Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 7- Strangers

Ryan was stunned.

Everything about the woman on the stage reminded him of his dead wife.

Her face, her body, her voice... there was an uncanny resemblance between the two women.

He frowned as he watched Lora Davis give her speech.

'Larisa, is that you?' He asked in his mind and a complicated look crossed his face.

Lora Davis finished her speech and got down the stage. The MC then announced that she was to open the dance floor with her male companion, Jason Anderson, a mysterious young man who appeared to be a handsome new face in Moonstone City. He was tall with a lean body and he had sandy brown hair with brown eyes.

The man, dressed in a three-piece gray suit, walked towards Lora with a charming smile. In front of everyone, he held out his hand to Lora and asked, "May I have this dance, Lora?"

Lora smiled and placed her hand in his. They moved to the dancefloor and began to dance to the music.

Jason glanced at Lora as they danced. He smiled at her and remarked, "Congratulations, boss lady."

Lora chuckled and answered, "Thank you, Jason."

"I'm the happiest man in the room right now, and I bet the men who are watching are jealous of me," Jason said, looking into Lora's eyes.

"Oh Jason, you'll always be so flirtatious," Lora happily replied.

"As the youngest female CEO in Moonstone City and the mysterious daughter of the Davis family, it's all enough to make all the men crazy about you," Jason continued.

"Jason, you're also at the center of attention. You're the new mysterious CEO who just moved to Moonstone City. Seriously, I've known you for so many years, and you are still just as mysterious," Lora quipped at her friend. Meanwhile, Ryan's jaw was clenched for some reason.
