The day went on as per normal and Ryan as usual, showing his cold poker face to everyone and half heartedly smile.
"Let's welcome our top hotel incharge, Mr Gu from SOHO hotel to give us a short speech on how to build a successful hotel just like his!" The host announced and everyone claps their hand.
Ryan went up to the stage and gave his speech. Nancy overheard Ryan's voice and couldn't resist in peeping in. She slightly open the door to just look at him.
"Hey! What are you doing" Sally tap Nancy shoulder and laughed.
"He's good looking right! Oh wait you are from SOHO hotel too right. It must be so good to work with someone so good looking" Sally was in awe.
"Stop envying. Let's go and make sure the banquet is ready" Nancy smiled and pulled Sally to the oversee the banquet.
After the conference, everyone heads to the banquet to get to know other leaders from other hotels. During the banquet, the girls from other hotel starts "flirting" with him.
"Are you single?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Not to be rude, Ryan just smiled and walked away.
"You are popular as well my boss" Desmond teased him.
"Shut up!" Ryan softly scolded him.
"Nancy!" Mr Tian called her name.
"Let me introduce you to some people here. Since you are one of our leaders too" Mr Tian pulls her in for a drink.
Ryan overheard someone calling Nancy's name nearby and he turns around and he finally saw her. As Ryan tried to approach her, Desmond stops him.
"Ryan, just for today let's be professional. No one know about both your relationship" Desmond seriously whispered to Ryan.
Ryan and Desmond then approached Mr Tian and Nancy.
"Nice meeting you Mr Tian and thank you for hosting everyone here" Ryan and Mr Tian clanked their glasses of champagne.
"And…it's been awhile Nancy" Ryan smiled at her.
Nancy smiled back awkwardly while Mr Tian was praising her infront of Ryan.
"I'm sorry, please excuse me, I'm heading to the washroom" Nancy informed Mr Tian and quickly rushed out.
"I got to go too" Few seconds later Ryan took his leave to chase Nancy.
Outside the conference, Ryan pulls her hand to stop her "let's talk".
Nancy looks at him for few seconds and Ryan continues to pull her to the beach.
"How…have you been?" Ryan nervously asked her.
"Fine" Nancy softly replied.
They kept quiet for few minutes and Nancy couldn't stand the quietness and said "If you have nothing important to tell me, I'll take my leave"
"I'm sorry…" Ryan explains everything. Ryan told Nancy that he did not process her resignation letter and that she can just come back anytime she is ready.
Nancy teared up when Ryan brings up all the past. Nancy breathe in and said "It's getting late now. We need to calm ourself down" and walks away.
Both of them cried because they know its so hard to go back to how they were before.
