“How did you know about this place? Aren’t you new in this city?” Lora looked around the fancy restaurant and asked.Jason smiled. “I asked around about the best place to bring a beautiful lady on a date,” he remarked. Lora froze and her eyes slightly widened. When Jason saw her expression, he laughed heartily. He said, “Look at your expression. I’m just joking. I wanted to bring you here to celebrate your first partnership.” Lora came back to her senses after Jason clarified. She secretly let out a sigh of relief and replied, “Thank you, Jay. You’re always good to me… whether it's out of the country or here. I’m so grateful.” “It’s not for free… after this meal, you will owe me dinner too,” Jason uttered. Lora giggled. She shook her head before promising, “Of course, I’ll treat you to dinner next time.” The restaurant had dim lighting with some soft music playing in the background. It was giving off a calm but romantic vibe which was somewhat relaxing. As they continued to eat

“I promised to marry her, Grandpa,” Ryan replied. Ivy got hurt because she was going to meet him. If he abandoned her, he didn’t think he could live with himself. Charles Kingsley frowned as he stared at his grandson. He couldn’t understand how someone so smart could allow a woman to trick him. “As long as I’m the elder in this family, I’ll never allow it,” Charles commanded. “Ivy Williams can never become a Kingsley.” He spoke with authority and Ryan didn’t dare try to convince him. Even though Charles was old, he was still the Chairman of the Kingsley Group and still carried an air of dominance and authority. “Grandpa, she got hurt because-”“I don’t care about what lies she’s told you to make you this way. Ryan, if you want to end up like your father, continue entertaining that woman. I was already disappointed with how you treated Larisa. She was such a sweet, kind woman and you blew it,” Charles remarked. Silence fell over them. For Ryan, the mention of Larisa caused him so

“Lora…” Ryan said through gritted teeth. “How dare you call me a scumbag?” Even though he was just teasing her after she accused him of stalking her, he didn’t expect her to call him that. Anger bubbled up within him as he glared at Lora. “Isn’t this what scumbags do?” Lora asked calmly. “You have no reason to get so close to me, Mr Kingsley. Please respect yourself and be more professional.” Ryan’s jaw clenched before he stepped away from Lora. He scoffed and replied, “Don’t be so full of yourself, Miss Lora.”Lora let out a sigh of relief. With Ryan getting so close, it was hard to keep her hatred in check and she didn’t want to expose herself. “I’m not full of myself but I expect the both of us to act professional and not cross the line,” Lora stated firmly. Ryan frowned but he didn’t say anything as he tried to calm down from the embarrassment of being rejected. “Why did you come back to my office anyway? I’m on my way out,” Lora said. She didn’t like how Ryan kept giving h

“Lora, you came just in time, dinner is almost ready,” Freya Davis, Lora’s mother, said the moment Lora walked into the mansion. Lora smiled and replied, “I’m so lucky, can’t wait to have dinner.” She had been working overtime to finish the design on time, so she had asked her parents to pick up the kids from school. “Mommy, you’re back!” Ella threw herself into her mother’s arms and Ethan did the same. “Hey, my sweethearts,” Lora hugged her two children and a warm smile crossed her lips. Whenever she saw her children, her heart felt at rest. “How was your new school? Do you like it?” “It’s the best school!” Ethan replied with a serious expression. “Don’t worry about us, Mommy. We are well taken care of by grandma and grandpa and the teachers at school are so kind.” Lora let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried her children would get bullied at school but luckily, all went well. Looking at her parents, Lora remarked, “Thank you so much, Mom and Dad.” “You don’t need to

“As expected from the genius designer, Ivy Williams. Her design is so unique and elegant.”“Ivy Williams’ come back is so powerful! Wow! I need jewelry with her design ASAP!”Ivy smirked as she read the comments on the social media pages. She was once again in the headlines of jewelry news after so many years, this made her proud.Ryan’s jewelry company launched a few pieces of jewelry using the new design created by Ivy Williams. As soon as the jewelry was displayed for sale, they were sold out in minutes. A lot of customers were interested in the unique jewelry design and even made special orders to have more of the jewelry made.The news was all over social media. Ivy Williams was once again making headlines because of her exceptional designing skills.Due to the good news, Ryan was in a good mood. Although it came as a surprise since Ivy didn’t show him the design before submitting it to the production team, the response was so good that he didn’t mind. “I didn’t know you had fin
