Chapter 5

When Ryan said those two sentences, the scene went quiet.

The friends present all looked at me awkwardly.

I raised my eyes to look at Ryan, as if I had never known this man who had been with me for eight years.

Seeing me look over, Vivian trembled like a little white rabbit and hid behind him.

Ryan frowned and protected her.

"Aria, this isn't the company, don't use your tactics of bullying newcomers on her."

Huh.

I chuckled lightly.

I put down my wine glass and picked up my coat from the back of the chair: "I've already paid for the meal, everyone enjoy yourselves."

"I'll be leaving first."

As I passed by, I saw Ryan give me a complicated look.

While waiting for a ride at the entrance, my phone rang.

"Aria, you're a rational person."

"I hope our situation won't affect Vivian's work."

"Don't target her at the company."

Seeing my car arrive, I put away my phone expressionlessly.
