Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 228 I Don't Have A Friend Like You

In the grand Daniel Hotel,

the window wall of the deluxe presidential suite was acutely open. The evening was lovely under the starless night sky, and its silence was flustered by the saturated neon light.

Ryan wore a draping black silk bathrobe with a loose belt tied around his waist. He held a glass of red wine in his hand and gazed at the somber heavens above with a faint smile on his face.

He had caught up with everything he needed to know about Anne. His smile stretched gradually from ear to ear when he realized that he had a rare opportunity within his reach.

"Anne, I knew you would come back to me one day." His expression was menacing yet attractive as his face was painted with a bloodthirsty intention.

His father was the head of a small scale company, and that did not satisfy his skyrocketing ambitions. He needed more support to attain his goal.

Anne couldn't provide this handy financial power in the past, so he neglected the idea of being with her, but things had changed to an exceeding extent. She now owned ten percent of the shares of the AN Group.

It had been recently revealed that she was the daughter of the L Group as well. If he could put a ring on her finger, his influence in the industry would be powered to dominance. With this partnership, the other ordinary rival companies and even the AN Group might make a run for their money from his leverage.

"Invite Anne to the South Night Hotel tomorrow." Ryan made a quick phone call and hung up immediately.

It was the season of dry spring in A City, but today was oddly cloudy. The roads were quite moist even without the showers from the heavens.

Anne looked distinctly fairer in her vintage high heels and lilac turtle-neck sweater. Paired with dark crimson lipstick, she looked like a sultry queen on the city streets.

In the NY Hotel, a waiter greeted her as soon as she walked through the glass doors on the reception, and she was courteously lead to a private room right away.

The room was ill-lit due to the gloomy weather. Even if the lights were on, the ambiance still gave a melancholic feeling. Anne smiled upon seeing Ryan drinking a glass of red wine, but his presence gave a peculiar sense of alienation to her.

She was close to Ryan before, so when she saw him like this, she felt an inkling of surprise.

"There you are." Ryan smiled and placed his glass on the table.

"Hey, what's up?" asked Anne pleasingly.

In her heart, Ryan was a dear friend.
