“I saved you… I mean, your teddy last night. Can’t you let me have the portrait in return?”

Propping his firm hand onto the desk, Ryan leaned forward and continued, “I like the sketch. Can I have it, please?”

“What is it?” Ryan’s eyes lit up.

Minutes later, Ryan returned to his Ferrari.

A wide grin plastered across his face as he held a cake box and a scrolled portrait. He had never been happier.

In fact, he had seen the portrait Carrie gave to Nigel during his birthday celebration. Since then, Ryan has been yearning to get one himself.

He wanted a drawing that was only made for him.

To his surprise, he had gotten it.

The joy and happiness he felt were indescribable.

Ryan put away the sketch with glee and eagerly opened the cake box.

It was a simple and slightly ugly blueberry mousse cake inside.

“It looks like you’re handling things well. The incident with Ada hasn’t gotten to you,” Christopher said with a tender smile.

“Duh. I am trained in the dark arts.”

“What do you mean?”

“He can channel his inner Darth Vader, plotting my demise, but trust me, the Force is strong with this one.”

Christopher chuckled. He paused and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“Nah, I’m good. It’s between me and Salvador Corporation. It’s not a huge deal, but I don’t want to get the Iverson Group involved. Thank you for the offer, though.” Bella turned down his help.

It was sad, really.

There was a knock on a door, and Steven’s voice was heard.

“I’m back, Ms. Bella!”

Now that the man that she was waiting for was back, Bella said. goodbye to Christopher in a hurry. “Right, I need to attend to something now. Goodnight, Mr. Iverson.”

She left the voice channel before he could respond.

Meanwhile, Christopher stared at the channel and murmured to himself affectionately.

“Goodnight, Bella.”

His expression turned into a grimace as he clicked on his mouse.
