Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Lora blinked, looking into Ryan's eyes.

Did he know something? Could Ivy have told him the truth?

'No... Ivy wouldn't tell Ryan about what she discovered about me,' Lora mused.

Before Lora could react or respond, Ryan let go of her before walking up the stage. He took the microphone from the host and announced, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

At the sound of Ryan's voice, the crowd fell silent and turned to glance at him on the stage.

Ryan smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming... LAN's Luxurious Jewelry is special to me and I would love to see it grow and become successful."

He searched for Lora in the crowd and when his eyes found her, he smiled and added, "It's now time for the big reveal... our production team was able to bring Miss L's vision into reality and I hope they did justice to her beautiful designs." "Now, the moment we've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Miss L's collection!"

While everyone was wondering when they would bring out the shelves that would display the jewelry, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. Silence fell over the place and Lora's breath caught in her throat.
