Ryan's POV
Being selfish.
Maybe that was it.
Maybe that was the real reason I didn't want Layla anywhere near Holloway Construction.
It had nothing to do with her documentary.
Nothing to do with whether she'd ask too many questions.
It was me.
Every holiday, my father dragged me to the company under the excuse that I needed to 'learn the business.' Translation? Follow him around, shake hands with people I'd forget five seconds later, and pretend I actually wanted the corner office waiting for me someday.
If Layla got approval to film there...
I'd be there too.
And somehow the idea of her seeing that version of me—
No.
Absolutely not.
I scrubbed a hand over my face.
What was I supposed to tell her?
"Sorry, I don't want you there because I'm being ridiculously selfish?"
Yeah
