Ryan Visits Again II

Finally Lena finished getting ready and went to the living room. However, before she entered she heard George talking to the guest.

"... are you sure about this? It will be difficult. Lena only has eyes for James."

The guest responded, "yes. I am certain. I want to court Lena. I want her to forget about James and be happy with me."

The voice sounded familiar, but Lena could not recall who he is. Lena stood still after hearing this, and decided to listen to their conversation before walking in and disturbing them.

George spoke again, "Now I should ask the very important question. You are trying to court my little sister. Now tell me... what do you have that James does not? Why should Lena be with you and not with anyone else?"

The guest paused for a moment as if I think about an answer, and then he spoke slowly. "I don't have as many fancy riches as James, not do I have many servants. My business is not nearly as large as your father's, but I do have something valuable..."

He paused for a moment. Lena finally remembered who he is by his voice. He is Ryan. 'But why is Ryan talking about stuff like this with George?' She thought about it, and could not find an answer. She came to the conclusion that she should continue listening and find out.
