| was wearing a light, flowy loungewear set that had a bit of a traditional vibe. The neckline dipped a little, and it
was tied. at the waist with a soft sash, all in a warm pink shade.
| nodded. “After a long day at work, | just wanted to feel fresh and comfortable. Makeup can be a bit much
sometimes.”
Ryan's ears turned a little red. “You look beautiful without makeup. There's something kind of cool and elegant
about
you.”
“And what about when | wear makeup?” | asked with a smile.
“Like a... a siren,” Ryan said, then quickly corrected himself. “No, | mean, you look very elegant.”
| looked at him, kind of speechless but smiling. “Those two vibes are total polar opposites. How can you even put
them together?”
Ryan realized it too and laughed. “But with you, it just works. When you're not smiling, you're all grace and
poise. But when you do smile, you're so alluring.”
“Alright, thanks for the compliment,” | said with a grin, steering the conversation away. “So, why'd you bring this
bread again?”

“You said you liked it before,” Ryan said, handingone.
took a bite-yep, sas last time. Milky, fluffy, and just melts in your mouth.
After a long day, coming hto food, drinks, and a handsguy to keepcompany-life was looking up.
We were sitting at the table, eating, when Ryan suddenly asked, “So, how's it going with Nathan?”
1 tightened my grip on my fork. “I haven't told him yet. He's gonna cto Shaville once he wraps things up on
his end.”
“And... where are you gonna meet him?” Ryan’s eyes suddenly looked a little sad.
| knew exactly what he was thinking. “Ryan, maybe my morals aren't the highest, but since I've decided to break
up with him, there's no way I'll ever sleep with him again.”
Ryan looked at me, his dark eyes blinking. “Oh, | believe you.”
“It’s so strange,” | said, “Uncle Ryan always comes off as so dominant and forceful, but you're so warm and
gentle. It's hard to believe you're from the sfamily.” Ryan’s considerate, well-behaved look was honestly
really charming, and that’s when it really hit me.
Ryan paused as he was picking up sfood, pulling his fork back to his plate. He lowered his head and bit his
lower lip. “How do you know I'm not dominant and forceful too?”
| was just taking a sip of water when | heard that, and | jerked my head up to look at him.
When our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat. His eyes held a secret, mysterious look.

“I don’t buy it,” | said, sipping my water and eyeing his handsface over the rim. “Or are you just putting on
an act right
now?”
Ryan gavean innocent look. “What am | pretending, Victoria?”
“Stop!” | reached out, cutting off that flirty, irresistible vibe he was giving me. “Don’t callthat. I'm so over it.”
Ryan blinked, sounding a little jealous. “Who else calls you that besides me?”
| immediately pulled out my phone and showed him the messages-all these cute guys texting“sis.”
Ryan's face twisted in anger, his lips pressed into a tight line. “Why are you just adding guys like that? What are
they after?”
| laughed. “I totally forgot to get a second phone. From now on, this work phone stays strictly business. | only
added them
for work.”
Ryan’s expression finally eased up a bit. “With so many guys wanting to get close to you, how cyou haven't
picked the cream of the crop?”
“Who says | haven't?” | raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you the top pick in the whole ‘sis‘ squad?”
“Victoria...” Ryan's cheeks turned red from my teasing. “Don’t putin the scategory as those guys.”
| was really turning a little wicked-I actually enjoyed watching him blush.
“Alright, Ill stop messing with you. Con, let's eat. Don’t let all the effort your housekeeper put into this meal
go to waste,” | chuckled, trying to comfort him.
Ryan seemed to lose his appetite, a shadow crossing his face as if something was weighing on his mind.
“You don’t really seeas just another one of them, do you?” Ryan looked up at me, a hint of vulnerability in
his eyes.
“What kind of person?” | asked, tilting my head in curiosity.
“Someone who just got interested because you're hot,” Ryan muttered, sounding a little sheepish.
I grinned. “Isn't that totally normal? | mean, doesn’t every crush start just because someone looks good?”
“Really?” Ryan's eyes sparkled, “So, what was your first impression of me?”
