Chapter 40:

At the mention of Ryan, Belinda arched an eyebrow in curiosity. “What's this about, Mr. Adams?” she asked

directly.

“I was hoping to have the pleasure of your company for a meal, Ms. Thomas,” Ryan replied gently.

A knowing smile spread across Belinda’s face. “That sounds lovely. I'm free this evening.”

“We can have dinner together then.”

Ryan's voice brightened as he replied, “Perfect, tonight it is. I'll confirm the venue shortly.”

“Sounds good,” Belinda responded, ending the call.

A crafty gleam sparkled in her eyes as she set down her phone. Belinda contemplated using her position as the

“Sure,” Belinda responded promptly.

“Meetat Happer Restaurant. You always loved their cuisine,” Kylee suggested.

“Okay,” Belinda replied.

“See you at noon at Happer Restaurant,” Kylee said before the call ended.

Belinda exhaled deeply, knowing that she had pressing questions that might finally be addressed soon.

At Happer Restaurant, Belinda entered the reserved private room and found Kylee already there. Kylee sprang up

with a beaming smile and approached Belinda quickly.

Looking at Belinda, Kylee exclaimed, “Belinda, you look breathtaking now! It’s almost makingenvious. Come

Kylee’s smile faltered as she looked at her empty hand.

She walked over and sat down next to Belinda, her eyes reflecting confusion and hurt. “Belinda, why this sudden

coldness toward me? What happened? Remember how close we were before?”

Upon hearing Kylee's words, Belinda couldn't help but let out a cold laugh inwardly. She had once believed Kylee

was a genuinely caring sister.
