The shock on Ryder's face was unmistakable as he took hesitant steps, his pace slowing until he finally came to a complete halt. This unexpected encounter with Sean left him thunderstruck, never imagining that fate would bring them face to face in such a manner.
"Mr. Ryder?" Yves inquired, feigning confusion. "Is there something wrong?"
Unbeknownst to either Ryder or Sean, Yves was the mastermind behind this seemingly coincidental meeting. The unexpected connection they had shared had unraveled a shocking truth, and Yves was determined to bring his daughters closer together.
He needed Rosie and Ciara to have a direct contact with each other.
"No, of course not," Ryder replied, his gaze never leaving Sean's form as he approached, a mix of doubt and confusion evident on his face. "I just didn't expect to meet my superior here, Mr. Sean Morrison," he added, not sure if he said it as in acknowledging the new hierarchy between them or a mere sarcasm.
