Chapitre 232: I can’t wait

"Ryan, what's wrong?"

Ryan's reaction was intense, almost like he'd been hit with a shockwave. He nearly fell out of his chair.

His face changed immediately, which of course caught Anna's attention.

Anna had been quietly observing Ryan's reactions from the moment the call started.

On the surface, she seemed calm and collected, but in reality, she was extremely concerned about what was happening with Ryan.

She kept sneaking glances at him, her pink ears perking up like a little rabbit's, trying to eavesdrop on his conversation.

"No, it's nothing. I really need to go."

Ryan sighed as he hung up the phone, rubbing his temples in frustration.
