Open Marriage, Broken Promises: When Love Turns to Ashes novel Chapter 43

At first, Ryan's name still popped up in my mind from time to time.

But as the days passed, I thought about him less and less.

By the time two months had passed, he had completely faded from my life.

Looking back, that painful experience didn't seem so difficult to endure anymore.

The reason our eyes are on the front of our face is because we are meant to always look ahead.

I thought my life would continue peacefully from here on out.

But just a week later, an unexpected guest threw everything off balance.

When the man stepped out of the car, wearing exaggerated sunglasses, I was stunned for a full ten seconds.

"Mannie Lindsay, long time no see. You really are hard to find."

Andy White waved at me.

I stared at the man before me, dressed like a flamboyant butterfly, with a somewhat speechless expression.

"What do you want with me? Did I owe you money?"

Andy White strutted toward me, his long legs extending from beneath his oversized shorts. He shoved past me, walking into the living room like he owned the place.

"Have you been living here these last few months?"

His familiar tone irritated me. I walked in front of him and said sternly, "What exactly do you want, Mr. White? I don't think we're that familiar."

To be honest, I didn't have much interaction with him, and my impression of him wasn't particularly good.

I didn't understand why he kept coming to me again and again.

Hearing my question, Andy White looked down, his eyes locking onto mine.

"I'm interested in your work ability, so I want to recruit you to my company."

This excuse was far too flimsy. I let out a derisive laugh.

Before I could speak, I saw Andy White's ears turn a shade of red.

"I'm telling the truth. I'm not lying."

I couldn't be bothered to argue further, raising my hand in a gesture to show him the door.

"Alright, you've said what you wanted, now leave. No need to stay."

Seeing my firm attitude, Andy White quickly grabbed my arm. "Hey, come on, be reasonable. I'm doing you a favor by visiting you, and you won't even offer me a cup of tea?"

"The temple's too small to accommodate such a big Buddha as yourself."
