Ryan didn’t accept Reese, but he didn’t push her away either.
It was probably pity.
Ryan understood the loneliness of losing a mother, so he didn’t treat Reese harshly.
Reese knew that and simply took advantage of it. No, she was desperately struggling not to lose Ryan, her last lifeline.
The only relief was that Ryan had never shown interest in any woman.
Reese knew, too. Ryan had never thought of her as a woman.
But if Ryan had to marry someone, she was confident that the highest probability would be her.
Reese felt frustrated as Ryan was out of reach, and her blood seemed to boil.
She crushed the cigarette she was holding and threw it into the bathroom.
Her flushed face expressed her anger.
I must go see him tomorrow.
In the now darkened and dim room, trying to calm her anxious heart, Reese hugged her doll tightly and fell asleep.

“Who’s here?”
[It’s Reese Div, I’m coming up now.]
The desk staff sent Reese up as if they were already familiar with her.
It wasn’t easy for a famous actor to stay in an open place like the first-floor lobby for long. Since she was a celebrity and a friend of Ryan, they didn’t stop her.
Alice acknowledged and hung up the phone.
“Why is she here again?”
From Alice’s perspective, it seemed that Ryan didn’t particularly welcome Reese’s visit.
Even if he was asked to meet, he wouldn’t, and it seemed he sometimes had to endure until she invaded the company.
“Ugh.”
Alice sighed softly. Then she looked at Ryan, who was sitting in his office.
‘For some reason, I don’t want to say that Reese Div is here.’
It was Alice’s job to rush and inform him when Reese arrived, but today, for some reason, she didn’t want to do that.
She didn’t want to see Ryan talking to another woman.
This was the first time she felt this way.
Why do I feel like this?
I just want him to eat the food I make for him.
Moreover, she was a famous actress. Does Ryan really have no feelings for Reese?
Reese must be on her way up.
I can’t delay any longer. It was time to report to Ryan.
Alice weakly got up from her seat. Dragging her weary body, she knocked on the office door.
“Vice President, Reese Div has come to see you.”
Alice’s voice lacked energy.
“Why is she here again?”
Ryan frowned. At that, Alice felt inexplicably pleased.
I shouldn’t feel good about this.
Hearing Ryan’s acknowledgment, Alice closed the door and stepped out.
At that moment, the sound of clicking heels echoed in the hallway. It seemed Reese had arrived as the sound grew closer.
“Hello.”
Seeing the woman bowing almost 90 degrees and greeting politely, Alice also bowed her head.
As expected, a celebrity was a celebrity.
In person, her features were much more distinct than what was seen on TV. Her well-maintained figure seemed to say, ‘I’m a celebrity.’
‘You can tell she’s a celebrity from afar.’
Alice pouted her lips for no reason.
“Yes, hello. It seems you’ll have to wait a bit as the Vice President is on a call.”
In reality, if she turned her back, it would be obvious that Ryan was on a call, but she just didn’t want to connect her immediately.
“It’s okay. I’ll wait. I have plenty of time.”
Reese, whose smile was so bright it seemed her pupils might disappear, had beautiful laugh lines. If there were a wingless angel, it would look just like Reese.
Seeing Reese’s bright smile, Alice instinctively felt her own lips lift.
No, come down.
“You know I really like Secretary Alii, right?”
It was the same thing again.
“Oh, yes.”
“I was so surprised to hear that Ryan, My Boyfriend, has a secretary! It’s not every day that pretty secretaries try to charm their bosses! With a pretty and slim body, they try to seduce capable men!”
Yes, yes. Alice didn’t pay any attention to Reese’s words. She just nodded her head.
“But our Secretary Alii is so admirable! I’ve never seen a secretary like this! She always wears pants to focus on work, and her appearance is so honest! Secretary Alii is truly a trustworthy person.”
Honest appearance.
Reese seemed to be very good at flattering others while smiling.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
In such cases, it was best to respond firmly.
At that moment, Ryan gestured.
It was a sign to let Reese in.
“You can go in now.”
Reese entered the office quickly, blooming a bright smile.
As soon as the office door opened, a voice that was half air and half nasal sound called out, “My Boyfriend~~~!” and assaulted the ears.
Goodness.
Alice’s eyebrows twitched for a long time after Reese entered.
