Chapter 1793

Leslie did not leave, looking like she was waiting for someone.

Before long, Ryder arrived with about five bodyguards behind him. It was an impressive entourage that befitted

the head of the Ulrich family.

Leslie stood up with a bright smile. "Ryder, you're here! Come, have a seat!"

Ryder grunted and sat down casually. He said matter-of-factly, "Did you askout for something specific? I've

been pretty busy taking over the family business lately, so if it's nothing urgent, I'll head out."

Leslie playfully scolded him. "Even with all that going on, you should still make tto relax! | already ordered

drinks, and they'll be here soon. | just wanted to sit down and talk with you tonight."

Ryder was not particularly interested and said flatly, "Wow, now that's unexpected. You never used to be so

warm tobefore, let alone inviteout for drinks. Honestly, this sudden friendliness kind of throwsoff."

Leslie looked a little awkward and let out a dry laugh. "Oh, con! Don't say that. Back in the military, you

know how the General was. She didn't like us goofing off. But this is a bar, and the vibe is totally different. Of

course, I'm being nicer!

"Besides, our drinks just arrived. Believe it or not, this is my first thaving drinks with a guy in public."

She gave him a shy little smile as she spoke. Unfortunately, Ryder was not taking the bait.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the booth on the second floor, Andrew and his three ladies were leaning over the glass

railing, watching the interaction below with great interest.

"Didn't she used to look down on Ryder?" Aspen asked with a puzzled look. "Now she's acting all sweet on him?"

Lauren chuckled. "What's so hard to understand? Ryder just bechead of the Ulrich family, and his status

shot through the roof. She may have looked down on him before, but things are different now."

Francesca rolled her eyes. "Let's be real. She saw him get rich, and now she's trying to cozy up. Pretty typical

move if you ask me."

Aspen grinned mischievously. "So what do you think? Will Ryder fall for it?"

Lauren took a sip of her wine and gave it sthought. "If you ask me, odds are high. Ryder was totally hung up

on Leslie, practically her doormat back then. Now he might look successful, but that clingy nature doesn't just

vanish. All she has to do is act a little interested, hint that she's finally open to being with him, and boom.

"His feelings for her will kick in, and he'll be willing to bend his back for her. Guys

like that? They'd give you the world just for a smile."

Francesca shook her head. "I'm not so sure. Ryder's now the head of a powerful family, and he should've

developed better taste. Leslie might be Luna's aide, but she's nowhere near Ryder's level. He could do so much

better now."

Aspen giggled and shook her head. "That's not how it works. Even if Ryder doesn't worship her like
