Ryan’s eyes were deep and unreadable as he looked at me. “I care about you, you know. I was afraid you’d get tricked, so I had someone check out Nathan’s dating history. When I found out about Miss Chancellor, I just knew you’d end things with him.”

“Don’t meddle like that,” I said, not liking my privacy being dragged out into the open. Even if it’s about Nathan, I still think his personal life deserves some respect.

Ryan instantly looked at me like a guilty puppy. “Sorry… I just didn’t want you to get tricked.”

I stared at him seriously. “Don’t go investigating anyone around me again. I know you’ve got the resources, but please, just don’t.”
