Carrie put her hand over her mouth. She could not believe what she had just done.

Ryan had not gotten close with another woman since they were together. Yet she just touched another man.

She thought to herself, 'Am I tainted? Did I cheat on Ryan?'

"S-Sorry..." It took a while before Carrie admitted her mistake.

There was no telling whether she was apologizing to Ralph or Ryan.

"Why are you apologizing, Ms. Salvador? I should apologize to you. I've been too busy in the last three days to shower. I hope I didn't stink." Ralph chuckled, as Carrie was adorable.

"Madam!"

Hearing the commotion, Yasmin rushed to the door. She paused when she saw Ralph. "Mr. Ralph?"

Ralph kept a low profile, so his identity was not known to many. Yasmin was aware of who he was because Ryan informed her in advance.

Otherwise, there would be a repeat of the embarrassing incident with Drew.

"Are Bella and Justin here?" Ralph looked around inside. He had heard about what happened, and it had been days since he saw Bella. He missed her, too.

"Ms. Thompson and Mr. Salvador are away."

Yasmin hesitated for a moment before making way for him. "Please come in to wait."

Looking very much at home, Ralph walked into the living room and fell back into a seat. He placed a document about Shannon on the table.

As Shannon's case was about to be brought to court, Ralph needed Bella and Justin to go through many details. Bella called Ralph to Ryan's place to meet up.

"This is a nice house. It has more character than my family's." Ralph looked around aimlessly.

He thought, 'Bella must be living at Ryan's place since leaving home. At least Justin found her a nice spot.'

"That's what the last person said. He talked about getting a place around here too." Yasmin smiled pretentiously.

"Who was it?"

"Mr. Drew."

Ralph laughed. "That sounds like Drew. He's rich. I only make enough in a year to buy a bathroom here."

He noticed Carrie curling up in a corner uneasily.

"Did I scare you, Ms. Salvador?" Ralph smiled.

Carrie nodded and quickly shook her head later. Her fingers gripped her dress nervously.

"My bad. Now that I think about it, I was a little touchy-feely with you. I'm sorry." Ralph spent most of his time in the precinct. He was used to getting down to business and speaking bluntly, so he blurted things out without second thought.

The expression on Yasmin's face froze, and she stared at Ralph nervously, her fists clenching.

The doorbell rang again.

Holding back the rage, Yasmin went to the hallway and checked the surveillance, only to be stunned.

"Is Bella home?" Ralph came up behind her.

Ralph gasped when he saw Wyatt's face on the doorbell camera.
