Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8~ Somethings never change

Ryan’s words hang in the air.

He looked deeply into Lora’s eyes like he was searching for something and his heart was pounding violently against his ribcage.

After a few seconds, Lora glanced at him and asked, “Are you referring to me? Didn’t you get my name earlier? I’m Lora Davis.”

“I know… it’s just that you look like someone I know. You have the same face but a different name and identity-”

“I think Mr Kingsley mistook me for someone else. This is my first time coming to Moonstone City and I’ve never met you before,” Lora replied calmly.

Deep down, she sneered coldly.

Yes, she is Larisa. She is also Lora Davis. She is back.

She hated the man before her with a passion. He was so ruthless back then and left her in the warehouse to die six years ago… no matter how kind Ryan looked at the moment, Lora knew him well.

He was her heartless husband who chose to save his ex and left her to die.

Even though she hated him and wanted nothing to do with him, she had no choice but to act normally to avoid making him suspicious.

She had no intention of letting him know that she was alive! Never!.

When Ryan heard her words, he frowned. She was right… he had seen the warehouse blow up in front of his eyes. Perhaps it was his longing that made him hope Lora was Larisa.

He cleared his throat and said, “I get it… however, I don’t intend to leave this place without securing a partnership with you. It’s hard to get hold of you… I’m an opportunist and I make sure I get what I want

when I have the chance.”

“What makes you think you’re special, Mr Kingsley? So many people want to work with me,” Lora remarked. “Why should I choose you?”

“You just returned to the country and trying to take a strong footing in the company. Wouldn’t the board members think highly of you if you immediately cooperated with the Kingsley group?” Ryan stated.

When he saw that he grabbed Lora’s attention, he continued, “I know how company politics work. They won’t be too happy that the CEO’s daughter came from nowhere and just took over. Wouldn’t it be easier to join hands with the most powerful group in the Country?”

Lora scoffed. She replied, “I don’t intend to rely on anyone. My skills are enough to prove that I’m

capable.”

Ryan’s face twitched. He didn’t expect his suggestion to be easily brushed off by Lora. After all, everyone wished to form a partnership with the Kingsley Group.

Why was this woman so uninterested?

He chuckled and said, “Let me rephrase that. My company needs you, Miss Davis. We are expanding into the jewelry business and would love to cooperate with you. We will provide the raw materials and you will provide the designs. What do you say?”
