My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Ryan looked at the two women and said uneasily, "Buddy, you might get to witness a huge joke later." He had known this day would come. He had expected Gemma to break up with him after she graduated. He did not think it would happen so soon. "A bootlicker deserves no good end," Nash commented as he chewed on a piece of steak.

"Gemma, he's over there," Reyrena said as she pointed to the two men by the window.

At the same time, Ryan was already quickly walking over to them. While his gaze was indulging, it hid deep pain underneath. He forced a smile and said, "Gemma..." "Ryan, I didn't expect you to know a scion!" Reyrena scrutinized Ryan, her face full of disdain.

"He's my childhood buddy, Nash!" Ryan introduced with a smile.

"Is he rich? Where does he work? Does he have a girlfriend?" Reyrena bombarded him with questions while adjusting her short hair.

"I didn't ask..." Ryan shook his head. He then looked at the expressionless Gemma and sighed softly. "Are you here to break up with me?" Reyrena furrowed her brows. "Do you want everyone here to know?"

Gemma seemed reluctant to embarrass Ryan. She smiled gently and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."

Ryan nodded and led Gemma to the table. Reyrena and Gemma sat together, leaving Ryan to sit next to Nash.
