Delyth didn’t like her. And Zenith feared that seeing her around, she would lose the little patience she might have to talk it out with Ryan.
So, she hesitated.
However, Ryan’s gaze remained calm and collected as if he had thought it through before bringing her here. "It’s not a bad idea too," he said before finally unbuckling his seatbelt. "But if you are uncomfortable, I can understand. You can wait for me in the car."
Zenith watched him as her reached out to push the door of his side open before stepping out.
He had barely taken a few steps when his steps paused hearing the click from the car. He turned to check, only to find Zenith stepping out it and then walking in his direction.
He didn’t say anything, but he looked at her. And she explained, "I don’t think I would be uncomfortable. Since you brought me here to accompany, I would come along."
Ryan nodded, and then they walked to take the elevator.
It was one of Ryan’s apartments that he has given to Delyth to stay. So, all the accesses he required to enter was already with him.
As they reached the floor, he stepped out to walk to ring the bell of on particular flat. Zenith followed a step after him and stood an inch behind him.
It took a while, but the door was soon pulled open, revealing Delyth on the other side.
"Ryan!" she spoke in delight as if he was some dream come true —the dream that she had been badly expecting to happen for real. "You finally came to see me. I was —"
Her words halted mid-way when her eyes caught the sight of Zenith standing right behind.
"She ... what is she doing here?" she asked, her tone at once changing.
Ryan looked behind over his shoulders before turning to glance back at Delyth. His brows furrowing, making his expression appear tighter. "Let’s go inside and talk."
After that, he didn’t wait for Delyth to accept of refuse. He simply walked in like he owned the place. Well ... he did own the place. And he made sure that Delyth get reminded of it as well. ’
"Zenith, don’t stay there," he said from inside. "Come in."
Zenith stared at Delyth before taking her steps to enter. But just as she would have stepped inside, Delyth blocked her way, glaring down at her.
However, Zenith kept her calm. Staring right in her eyes, she spoke with utter nonchalance. "Ms. Ember, please give me the way inside. I came along with sir, and he is asking me inside."
Then, reaching out she gently pushed her before walking in.
Delyth gritted, but anyway closing the door, she also returned inside.
"Ryan is your secretary, I accept but you can’t bring her alone when you are coming here."
