Chapter 168

Bethany’s carefully made-up face froze. Her heart trembled in fear.

“Also, are we that close? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to hug me like this?” Ryan’s eyes were cold as he forcefully pulled out his arm.

“Mr. Hoffman, I’m sorry. You’re my brother’s close friend, so I think of you as my brother too. I have no other intentions…” Bethany was afraid that Ryan would hate her, so she quickly explained herself.

“You’re his sister, not mine. Watch your behavior next time.”

Ryan replied coldly, turned around, and left.

Anna had given him this suit. He could not bear to wash it, let alone allow others to get it dirty.

Bethany clenched her fists reluctantly. Her nails dug into her palms until they were almost bleeding.

Suddenly, Ryan stopped walking. He put one hand in his pants pocket and looked at Bethany with squinted eyes.

Bethany quickly flashed a bright smile. Her heart was beating with excitement.

She thought, ‘I knew it! Ryan only seems cold on the outside. He must have feelings for me.’

“I really don’t understand girls’ fashion these days.”

“What?” Bethany was startled.

“I’ve heard of lipstick, but I thought it’s supposed to be used on the lips, not the teeth. I guess. I’ve learned something new today.”

Ryan laughed jokingly and walked away gracefully.
