Kyle froze on the office threshold, entering at the most inopportune moment and hearing Ryan’s confession.
«Who are you? Emily’s fiancé?» Kyle asked again, not believing his ears.
«Yes, exactly,» Ryan confirmed with a slight smirk, turning to the newcomer. «What, does that surprise you? Or did you think the right to love is only for you while your wife slaves at work? Well, life brought us together, and we decided, why not. But I hope you understand I won’t just leave you alone? Better to act nicely. Here, by the way, I have something for you.»
Ryan pulled several sheets of paper and ordinary office pens from a black folder.
«The options are simple: either you write resignation letters right now, or we’ll meet in conditions you definitely won’t like.»
His confidence and imposing figure left no room for doubt. Robert and Kyle exchanged glances, understanding they now had a serious opponent. The appearance of this «fiancé» completely threw them off. Robert only now realized why Emily didn’t give in and didn’t return to his son with repentance.
«You can’t force us! There are laws!» Kyle tried to object, but meeting Ryan’s icy gaze, he immediately fell silent.
«Of course, I can’t,» Ryan replied with a good-natured smile. «But if not here, then in court, I definitely will.»
«And I warn you: the consequences will be much heavier. Your actions already warrant restriction of parental rights. And considering your online bullying, it’s the end of your reputation in business.»
Fifteen minutes later, Ryan left the office with a sense of victory. He was pleased with the conversation’s result and knew Emily would appreciate the recording he prepared for her. The resignation letters were signed; all that remained was to hand them to Emily.
As for Ryan, he didn’t exaggerate speaking of his diverse experience. Over the years, he had been a journalist, worked in the police, and tried himself in many fields. But now he met a woman who eclipsed everyone—Emily. Ryan decided he would definitely win her favor. Why not start dating? He saw that Emily worried about possibly remaining alone. He felt it during their conversation in the cafe.
Now she would never be alone. Ryan promised himself he would never leave Emily in solitude. And he himself would no longer be that «tumbleweed» he was when he entered that conference hall.
