Ryan wanted to retort her but when he caught the sight of her panicked face, he couldn't shrug it. Taking a deep breath, he nodded to her before turning again to look at Jason.

"Dr. Clark," he began, his tone smooth but carrying an annoyed edge to it. "In the recent few days, I have tried ways to book an appointment with you but given your busy schedule couldn't get the chance.
