Sold His Dreams, Then Walked Out on Him
The next morning, right after finishing the morning meeting at Horizon Properties, I was getting ready to inspect our newly acquired landmark project when I ran into Ryan right outside the office building.
"Hannah…"
He had dark circles under his eyes, and his voice was raw and hoarse.
"My stomach was killing me all night long. I felt like I was literally dying…"
Holding back his emotions, he reached out, trying to grab my sleeve. His voice was laced with desperation.
"Can we please get back together? I don't care about becoming a director anymore, and I don't care about having some fancy degree-holder to show off. I just want you. Please come back and take care of me."
