"Eleanor, take a look…" Cecilia entered with a basket full of herbs in her hand.
She stalled at the doorstep, and her smile froze in the corners of her mouth when she saw Ryan standing tall in the middle of the shop. She blinked twice, stunned. A few seconds later, she regained her composure and resumed her smile.
"Alpha Ryan…" She bowed a little. "Did you come to see her or get something? Sorry, the shop is not yet operational."
"I am here to meet her." Ryan returned her smile and maintained his calm demeanor. "Alright. I will come back once it starts functioning properly."
He gave Eleanor a brief look before departing.
Cecilia's smile gradually faded as she watched his departing figure. "Why did he come here?" she asked and faced Eleanor.
"Could you tell me why he was here?" Eleanor questioned back and turned to the shelf, resuming her work.
Cecilia gaped at her for some time, reflecting upon her question.
