Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 7

After transferring money for the clothes to Hugo and deleting his contact details on WhatsApp, Audrey’s contact list was left with only Anne Hayes, Harper Hayes, Diego Douglas, and Ryan.

Ryan’s profile picture was taken from under the sea, looking up at the sun. He didn’t have a single post in his Moments. It could have easily been mistaken for an elderly person’s account.

Audrey’s ears burned with embarrassment as she realized the awkwardness of the position. Looking up, she met Ryan’s deep, dark eyes behind his gold–rimmed glasses. Her heart raced with discomfort.

The driver, observing the rapidly departing car they had dodged, was sweating profusely. He apologized quickly, “Sir, I’m sorry. That car overtook us suddenly…”

“It’s okay,” Ryan’s voice said from above Audrey.

She straightened up and apologized, “I’m sorry.”

Ryan gave her the phone, then reached down to pick up his scattered documents.

“Thank you.

The car crossed a speed bump and smoothly entered the gated community of a villa in the city’s second ring. Audrey told the driver, “You can drop me off here.”

“The place you’re staying in now is dangerous,” Ryan said, closing the file on his lap. He added unequivocally, “Let Howard bring your luggage here.”
