Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 15- Stalking

"Mr Kingsley, it's rude to come into my office without knocking," Lora said in a clipped tone.

"Lora Davis," Ryan emphasised Lora's full name, "I have something to confirm with you."

"What's the matter? If it's work-related, I'm already working on my first design and I'll let you know when I am done," Lora answered. "Lora. No, Larisa to be exact. I want to talk about your identity," Ryan said, looking intently into Lora's eyes.

Hearing Larisa's name again, Lora couldn't help but roll her eyes. She didn't understand why Ryan was so obsessed with her identity. "Mr. Kingsley, I've explained it many times. If you have mental problems, please go to the hospital for treatment, I am not a doctor. "

Ryan seemed to expect Lora's response. He looked at Lora with a smile, slowly took out his phone, and showed her the picture on his phone. Lora glanced at the picture on Ryan's phone but her face did nothing to betray her emotions.

"Mr Kingsley, I don't know who this Larisa you keep talking about is but why do you have a picture of me and my friend?" She remarked. Ryan furrowed his eyebrows. Lora was too calm. Could it be that he had overreacted?

"How did you become friends?" Ryan asked suspiciously.

"It's none of your business, Mr Kingsley, but, I met Bianca three years ago. She also mistook me for someone else and kept following me around. We became friends since then," Lora explained calmly. "Are you sure?" Ryan asked, his heart sinking as the hope that had ignited within him died out.

"Why are you so interested in my personal life, Mr Kingsley? I don't think it's appropriate," Lora stated. Ryan took a step back, his heart clenching in pain. He glanced at Lora and answered, "You look like Larisa. If I didn't know she was an orphan, I would think you were identical twins."

"Mmmmm, and this Larisa, who was she to you? You're so obsessed with her," Lora asked.

However, Ryan didn't answer that question. He put his phone away and asked instead, "How far with your work?"

To Lora, Ryan's response showed her that he was still hellbent on keeping his marriage a secret. His wife was dead and he still couldn't talk about her openly.

He really was ruthless.
