Ryder's POV

"Here's your coffee babe." I smile, as I walk into the office with two cups of coffee from the kitchen. Hannah smiles up at me as I walk over to her desk.

"Thank you." She mutters as she reaches over to grab her cup.

"No problem." I reply as I walk over to my desk and sit down. Having a bit of free time, now that I finished my new layout, I decide to call my dad. I wait for him to pick up and after the fourth ring, he does.

"Hey daddy." I smile, leaning back in my chair.

"Okay, see you later." I say before she turns to walk to her car.

Adjusting my bag on my shoulder, I turn on my heel to my left to head over to my car, but when I do, I accidentally crash into someone letting out a groan escape past my lips.

"Oh...I'm sorry." I say stepping back away from him, pushing my hair away from my face.

"It's alright." He smiles, his brown eyes locking with mine, dropping his large hands from my arms, before shoving them into his pockets. He stares at me for a moment.
