Chapter 48


    With a smile, David asked, “So, do you mind telling me who from the Sinir group has caught your


    eye? I might know them”


    “Sure thing” ric replied candidly, we just swapped contacts on WhatsApp. This is her; take a look”


    He handed his phone to David, showing a selfie of a woman.


    David took a quick peek at the photo and blinked in surprise. He then turned to ric and said, I’ve got


    something to say, but I’m not sure if I should”


    “Spit it out, man. When did you start beating around the bush?” ric put his phone away, still sporting


    a smile.


    Clearing his throat, David said, “This woman’s name is Hertha. She was the one who just came to Mr.


    Sinir’s office to apologize and offerpensation.”


    Indeed, it was Hertha. She’d made a point of telling him before she left.


    “Why would she need to apologize and pay Mr. Sinir? ric asked curiously.


    “Because her four kids wrecked Mr. Sinir’s office couch,” replied David.


    The smile faded from ric’s face, and a shadow passed over his eyes


    “You mean she’s a mom of four kids?” ric asked back.


    David nodded.


    “Holy cow! She’s so young, and she’s a mother. I’m going to delete her ric, who had found the


    woman interesting and cute just moments ago, instantly blocked her after hearing David’s words.


    David lowered his voice and said, “Her husband passed away a long time ago. Maybe you could”

    “What could I do? I couldn’t. Thest thing I want is to raise someone elses kids, ric interrupted.


    He had a rule no dating widows or divorcees, let alone a single mother!


    He, ric, having a thing for a widow?


    After being delighted earlier, ric was now fuming and marched into Lysander’s office.


    Watching him walk away, Dand scratched his nose and silently took the elevator


    “Lysander, I’m heartbroken. You’ve got to have a drink with me tonight. That’s the only way to console


    me, ric said, leaning on Lysanders desk with a hurt expression,


    Lysander nced at him and said tly. “Buzz off!”


    ric clutched his chest dramatically. “Oh, I’m so hurt but you even told me to buzz off.”


    “Spit it out already! Lysander said it coldly


    Having a friend like ric, who was more annoying than any woman, was a real pain in Lysanders


    neck.


    “Do I need a reason to visit you? It’s been several days since west had a drink. What do you say


    about tonight?” ric was here for a drink.


    His earlier im of being heartbroken was just an excuse.


    Lysander signed his name on thest page of the contract, put it in the folder, and ced it in the file


    cab.


    In a deep voice, he replied. After I finish my work”


    He had been feeling quite agitated over Thssa’s case and needed to unwind.


    “Alright.” Understanding, ric lounged on the sofa, sipping his coffee while waiting for him.
