Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 149~ A promise

Jason stepped into the private room and found Ryan seated at the table. He was in casual clothes and his slightly pale face was illuminated by the soft glow from the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"Is it ok for you to be out like this?" Jason asked as he took a seat.

It was a bit awkward to meet Ryan like this. They had never had a decent conversation and with what happened with Lora, the air around them was a bit tense.

"It's ok... but I can't be out for long hours. I'm more likely to get sick if I receive many visitors but being in the open like this is ok," Ryan responded.

Jason's eyebrows furrowed and a complicated feeling coursed through him. He glanced at Ryan and asked, "Why did you want to meet me?"

Ryan suddenly smirked and asked, "Can't I ask to meet my little brother?"

Jason scoffed. He replied, "We both know we are not that close."

An awkward silence fell between them.

After a few seconds, Ryan reached for a file that was on his lap. He placed it on the table and pushed it towards Jason.

Jason glanced at the file, confusion flickering through his eyes. He looked at Ryan and asked, "What is this?"
