Chapter 5 Pregnant? (1/2)
Ryn frowned to see the restaurant. She looked at Mika but this friend of hers was busy parking the car. She looked at the restaurant, then at her outfit, and at the restaurant again. She was not wearing a suitable outfit for that kind of restaurant.
”Mika~”
”Hmm?”
Her finger pointed at the restaurant.
With a smile, Mika shut the engine off. Still, in the car, she took Ryn's hand. ”Don't worry. I've booked a table for us. We have something to discuss and I want to talk about it while eating.”
”But…”
”Come on.” Without waiting for Ryn, Mika quickly walked toward the restaurant. Unwillingly Ryn had to follow. She should have guessed this would happen when she saw what Mika was wearing when Mika picked her up just now. She should not be taken back like this. Everything should not shock her now.
”What do you want to talk about?” Ryn waited until the waiter left with their order to ask, giving her best friend a narrowed look, ”If it's about him, I'm sorry. I don't want to talk about him.”
”It's not about him.”
”Then?”
”It's about you.” Mika handed an envelope to her.
Ryn took out a piece of paper from the envelope and read it quickly. Then she read it again, this time carefully. ”Mika?”
”If you look at the amount, you can be assured that you are given a fair rate for five years. Actually… more than what the usual payment for a three years contract.”
”But I…”
”I know you're becoming a model because of Landy and it's not a long term plan but I wish you could consider this. Although the company is quite well known now the plan is to establish it internationally. With you as the face of the company, I have no doubt that within a year, we can reach that goal.”
Ryn pushed the envelope back to Mika and smiled. ”You should invite my manager too to discuss this, you know.”
”She said to discuss this with you.” Mika grinned.
”Mika~”
”So, do you agree? Are we going to work together?”
Without a word, Ryn went to hug her best friend, ignoring the look from others. She pulled her head so she could see her best friend's face. She squeezed Mika's cheek and hugged her again. ”Of course.”
”Cool. We'll sign the contract tomorrow. Now we eat. I'm hungry~”
Ryn laughed. She went back to her seat and thanked the waiter who brought their order. She ate her food while Mika's kept talking. When Mika was excited, she would not be able to close her mouth and this was one of those times.
Just treat it as a song and she would not get a headache.
”Thank you for the dinner and the ride,” Ryn said as she unbuckled the belt.
”Tomorrow I'll pick you up. Wear these.” Mika handed a paper bag with the company's logo on it. ”Don't worry about the make-up. I'll do it for you.”
”Fine. Fine. You're the make-up expert. Bye.”
”Bye. Sweet dream.”
