Meanwhile, at the office, Ryan was busy sorting through files when his phone rang. It was Bella.

He picked up, slightly annoyed at the interruption.

"Ryan, you promised we'd have lunch," Bella reminded him, her tone light and cheerful.

"Did I?" Ryan asked, trying to recall the conversation.

"Yes, you did. Come on, you need a break. Meet me at the restaurant," Bella insisted.Ryan sighed.

"Alright, I’ll be there."He arrived at the five-star restaurant, its elegant decor and breathtaking view setting a perfect scene.

Bella was already seated, her eyes lighting up when she saw him.

"Ryan! It's so good to see you," she said, standing up to hug him.
