Chapter 28

Every noise in the place stopped as eyes turned to look at Ryan who had held Piper's hand.

Slowly, Piper turned to see who had held her hand. A frown creased her brow when she saw Ryan.

When she turned to look at him, Ryan recognised her at once. Her nose was still the way it was back then. He held back a smile at the thought. Her British accent was now very strong.

"Apologize to the janitor," Ryan said calmly.

Piper scoffed. "Apologize? Who the hell are you?"

"Won't you apologize to him?" Ryan asked.

"I have no fucking business apologizing to anyone. Who the hell are you to tell me to apologize anyway?" Her eyes darted up and down Ryan's body, fury in them.

Quickly Brice came forward. "Miss Piper, I am sorry you didn't know him." He gave her a rueful smile. "Meet Mr Ryan, the new executive director of our company."

"Oh. So you are the executive director of this damn company?" She asked, anger still evident on her face.

"Will you now apologize to him?" Ryan asked.
