CHAPTER 43 A New Ring

  Ella's POV

  I stared at Ryan in disbelief as I got closer. With a bored expression he leaned lazily against my office building. I knew he had been calling, and I've been avoiding each call until he stopped. I figured I would have another day to calm down since I was not supposed to work with him before tomorrow. I pretended I didn't see him, all my focus down in my purse to find my keycard. be he was just checking in on me? So when he sees me being here I can just walk inside, brush right past him.

  "Aria!?"

  Or maybe not, I swallowed hard and looked up to meet his gaze.

  "Ryan? What are you doing here?"

  "What do you mean? We had an agreement this morning."

  My heart jumped remembering what we were supposed to do this morning. But that familiar ache took over the moment I fooled myself to be happy about it.

  "I thought you would rather spend time with your pregnant mate."
