Chapter 5 Pregnant? (2/2)
”Sweet dream.”
Ryn entered her home with a sigh. Guess the modeling gig would extend to three more years rather than few months like she planned. Hmm… guess she needed to make sure she would not succumb to stress and exhaustion anymore.

Ryn puckered her lips a bit and smiled.
”I never thought you still remember my favourite colour.”
”Of course. I remember everything.” Mika kept everything into the bag she brought along and looked at her best friend proudly.
”I can't believe in just two years you manage to establish your company. You must be suffering so much for those years,” Ryn hugged her best friend tightly.
”I suffered so much,” Mika nodded her head sadly, ”I don't even have someone to share my burden.”
”Stop exaggerates. What's the use of your boyfriend if not to listen to your wail?”
”You're not fun, Ryn. Why are you bullying me?” Mika wailed sadly.
”Enough. Wash your face and fresh up your make-up. We don't want to be late for the program.” Ryn pushed Mika toward the bathroom.
It supposed to take them an hour to reach the hotel but with Mika's mad driving skill, they reached there (in one piece) less than 40 minutes.
Ryn stroked her chest as she glared at her best friend who casually handed the car key to the attendant there. ”We are not racing. Why do you need to drive so fast?”
”I just want to test my new car. What do you think?”
”Why waste money to buy a new car when your old one still in good condition? Why didn't you use the Mercedes?” Ryn shook her head as the sight of Mika's brand new pink Ferrari been driven away. Mika was being spoiled again.
”Jason bought it for me. I love it. Don't you love it?”
”No.”
”Ryn~”
”Hush. There are people here,” Ryn hissed.
A man and a woman quickly approached them. They greeted Mika and Ryn politely and led the way to the hall where media were waiting.
Mika held Ryn's hand and took a deep breath. Then, she let go and put on her serious face.
They took their seat on the stage. Ryn was used with flashes from cameras so she did not even react with so many flashes. Mika, on the other hand, was still new in this so she unconsciously looked for Ryn.
Under the table, Ryn patted Mika's hand to calm her down.
The emcee quickly welcomed the media and introduced them to Mika. Mika took over and introduced Ryn as the spokesperson. Ryn signed the contract. It was quick and straightforward and then the Q & A session started.
”Miss Catherine, you have just made a comeback after two years missing. May I know where have you been? And why did you go missing all these years?” one of the reporters asked.
”Is it true that you had to quit because you're pregnant with Minister Li's child?” another asked before Ryn could answer the first question.
