"You are invited to the inauguration of the Ker's clothing brand." Ryker's assistant, Mr. George, announced from the door to Kathleen. She was still half asleep and awoken by the constant ringing of the bell at 10 am.
"Today?" Kathleen rubbed her swollen eyes and tried to focus on his face. Ryker and Eloise must have left early in the morning to prepare for the inauguration.
"Yes ma'am today," George bobbed his head obediently, "A car will pick you up in two hours," George announced and parted his way downstairs quickly.

Where is my ring?" she questioned, looking around on the couch and running her hands around to look for the ring.It wasn't anything expensive, but she had it on after she found it in her brother's bags, he had bought it for her birthday but couldn't give it to her due to the accident."What happened?"
