Ryan?
The name flashed in Evelyn's mind. What could he want here?
"Madam, would you like to see him? If not, I can decline on your behalf," the maid said, noticing Evelyn's uneasy expression.
Evelyn shook her head, her tone composed as she replied, "It's alright. Have him wait for a moment. I'll be there shortly to welcome him."
With a nod, the maid left to relay the message. Since Evelyn was hosting a guest, she needed to prepare tea and refreshments.
Taking a deep breath, Evelyn wondered what Ryan wanted with her. In any case, she had to meet him. As Evelyn stood up, she realized the mess she had just made on the floor. She rubbed her temples, acknowledging her increasingly uncontrollable temper. Not delving deeper into her thoughts, she tidied herself up, applied a light touch of makeup to her face, and ensured she looked presentable.
Once ready, Evelyn left her room.
The other maid, who had been crying earlier, seemed to have been comforted by her companion. Walking beside Evelyn, she marveled at how Evelyn's appearance had transformed dramatically in just twenty short minutes. She silently admired the difficulty of being a lady in high society—these ladies had to quickly compose themselves so as not to embarrass their husbands.
However, the guest wasn't Colton's close friend.
Evelyn's expression shifted when she noticed Ryan in the living room. She gave a brief glance to the maid by her side, signaling her to leave. All the maids obediently left the room.
Then, she approached Ryan.
"Mr. Yael, what brings you here today?" Evelyn asked politely as she sat across from Ryan, a faint smile on her lips.
"I have a proposition. It's a partnership. I wonder if you’ll be interested, Miss Wrenn?"

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
