Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 34- Trouble

"Grandpa, what's going on? What's the emergency?" Ryan asked worriedly when they got to Charles' study.

Charles cleared his throat. He sat back in his chair and said, "Before we get to that... there's something I want to ask you. As Lora's work partner, what do you think of her?"

Ryan frowned, not knowing why his grandfather asked that question. He replied, "Lora's very talented, Grandpa. Her skills are unlike anything I've ever seen before... It's a pity our partnership ended, she would have been a great asset to our Jewelry company." Charles studied his grandson, a knowing glint in his eyes. He knew his grandson so well and knew that Ryan was already seeing Lora in a new light, although Ryan himself was unaware of this.

He smiled and remarked, "Knowing how it's not easy to impress you, you must have a high opinion of Lora Davis for you to speak so highly of her."

Ryan shrugged and said, "Well, she's good at what she does, Grandpa."

Charles let out a chuckle. He grinned and replied, "What an interesting lady she is, huh? I thought she was just a young lady who was found by her parents later in her life. Who knew she's Miss L? I'm a fan of Miss L's designs!"

"A fan?" Ryan arched an eyebrow. his grandfather. "Since when are you a fan of jewelry, Grandpa?"

"You don't know everything about your old man, Ryan. In my younger days, I used to rock male jewelry and I would make the ladies swoon with my handsomeness," Charles remarked seriously.

Ryan shook his head at his grandfather's words. He asked, "Can you tell me what the emergency is now, Grandpa?"

"The emergency is that I want to meet Lora aka Miss L. Please invite her home."

Ryan, ""

"Are you for real, Grandpa? I thought something serious happened to the company," Ryan uttered.

Charles glared at his grandson and remarked, "This is something serious, I never knew Lora was the mysterious Miss L when I met her and didn't give her the treatment a legend like her deserves. Invite her home, Sonny. I would also like to engage Miss L in a personal project."

"A personal project?" Ryan eyed his grandfather suspiciously. "And what might that be?"

"I need to place an order, Ryan. I may be old but I would still look hot with male jewelry," Charles remarked. "So, when do you think you can bring her home?"

Ryan furrowed his eyebrows. Lora made it clear that she didn't want anything to do with him. How could he suddenly invite her home? He shook his head and replied, "Grandpa, I don't think she will-"

said, "Don't give up, Ryan! I told you this is an emergency! I need you to invite Miss L home! My wrists
