Chapter: 424
After ending the call, Bethany felt confused. Did she sound sleepy over the phone?
Why did he suggest she rest?
He didn't sound like someone she had just met. He sounded more like an old friend.
Bethany found their conversation intriguing.
It felt good to have someone take the time to listen to her. It helped her unwind and he also got some useful information out of it.
It was a win-win situation.
After putting down the phone, Bethany went to bed after washing up.
The next morning, she was awakened by Ryan's phone call.
She had hoped to sleep in since she didn't need to get up early for the construction site.
"Morning! Still in bed?"
“Yeah. What's up?" Bethany sat up, reaching for her glasses on the nightstand.
She preferred glasses over contact lenses whenever she didn't have to go to the construction site.
"Your voice tells me you've just woken up. I'm sorry for calling so early, I couldn't wait any longer," Ryan explained. He had waited until eight before calling her.
“Okay. What's going on? Is something wrong at the construction site?"
“No, nothing like that! Just get dressed and come downstairs. I'm waiting at the entrance of Dreamer Hotel. You'll see when you get here."
Bethany agreed and hung up, then proceeded to wash and change her clothes.
She had assumed Ryan was coming over about work matters. But when she descended the stairs, she found him standing beside his car, holding a lunch box.
Confused, Bethany walked up to him. “Ryan, what's going on?"
Upon seeing Bethany, Ryan eagerly approached and placed the box in her hands. “This is breakfast that I cooked for you. I stayed up all night learning how to make it!"
Bethany was left speechless.
Ryan then proudly showed his hands, displaying blisters and cuts.
“I'm serious! I cooked it myself. You mentioned not liking restaurant food, so I decided to make something for you."
Bethany was taken aback.
"Nikolas mentioned how Jonathan used to wake up early to make breakfast for you," Ryan explained with a smile. "I can do whatever he used to for you.”
