Chapter 13 : I Don't Believe in Love

Ethan's POV

After our meeting at the job site, Ryan and I went back to the hotel to discuss our next steps. There was a restaurant attached to the lobby of the hotel and we decided to grab lunch while we talked.

“Thanks for taking care of that issue with the contractors.” Ryan said, as we sat down at a table near the window.

“No problem.” I said, shaking my head. “That guy was an idiot.”

“I was ten seconds from losing my shit.” Ryan said, rolling his eyes.

An older woman approached our table and asked us what we’d like to drink. I ordered a beer and Ryan got a rum and coke. The woman politely thanked us and promised to be back momentarily with our beverages.

“I wanted to talk to you about something.” Ryan said, once the woman was gone.

“What’s that?” I asked, stretching in my chair.
