Ryan's POV
I sat at home since it was the weekend and I needed to get through some files. My phone rang out and I stared at the screen. One of the godfathers of the city and a business partner was calling me.
I picked the call up. "Hello."
"Hello to you too, Ryan. How are you doing today?" Mr. Gerard spoke with his overly sophisticated tone.
I rolled my eyes because he has always been off putting to me but at least he brings in good money.
"I'm fine, and you? How is your wife and daughter doing?"
He heaved a sigh as if he was disappointed. "I am doing just fine, so is my wife but not my baby, Thecla."
I knew this was coming. I always detested when he brought up his daughter in conversations.
"That's pretty disappointing, I'm sure she'll be just fine."
He then chuckled darkly because he knew I was trying to dodge his comment. "You can run away from this conversation but you can't hide."
"I don't seem to understand you, Sir?"
