Chapter 40- A kiss

Ryan had met his friend Adan to have a couple of drinks. He took that moment to ask about how the nvestigation was coming along.

Adan shook his ne and said, "Something feels fishy, bro. My men are good at finding out things... but

his particular case has been difficult. We haven't gotten any more news since last time."

Ryan narrowed his eyes. He recalled how Lora reacted each time he got close to her... it was almost like she was hiding something and was afraid he would find out.

He took a sip of his wine and remarked, "Keep looking. Pump in more money if possible. I want to know everything there is to know about Lora Davis."

Adan nodded, knowing this was important to his friend. He took out his phone and began to scroll through his social media when he came across a piece of news. His eyes widened in shock. "Oh shit."

Ryan glanced at him lazily and asked, "What is it? One of your women again?".

"No, man... I don't know if I should show you this," Adan remarked.

"Why? Does it have anything to do with me?" Ryan asked.

Adan glanced at Ryan and showed him his phone screen before saying, "It seems Miss L is in love."

Ryan's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at the phone and read the news. It said not only was Miss L at the peak of her career, but she was also in love.

Beneath the caption was a picture of Jason kissing Lora. From the angle at which the picture was taken, it looked like they were a very loving couple who met after a long day's work and showered each other with sweet kisses.

A strong surge of jealousy rushed through Ryan, he wound up dropping his wine glass, not caring that it shattered to pieces on the floor.

He grabbed Adan's phone and read the article. It said that Jason had proposed to date Lora and the woman readily agreed. Who wouldn't agree when the man was so upfront and open about it?
