Chapter 6 She is still hur (2/2)
”No. But the new collection includes men attire.”
”Okay.”
”Send Mei Li the exact date.” Ryn closed her eyes and yawned.
”I'll wake you up for lunch.”
Ryn lied down on the sofa and hugged the love pillow tightly. She was not worried about ruining the dress. It belonged to her now.
Mika quickly settled things she needed to finish today and went to her brother's office, leaving Ryn sleeping on the couch.
”How is she?” Jeremy asked once Mika entering his room. He put down the pen he was holding and pushed the file he was reading aside.
”She's sleeping.” Mika slammed herself on the dark brown leather couch and sighed heavily.
”How is she?” he repeated his question.
Mika looked at her big brother and finally realized what he was asking. ”She is still hurt.”
”Are we going lunch together?”
”No. I'll go with her alone. I don't think she's ready to face you again.”
”When can I see her then?”
”Be patience, brother. She will accept you but it will take time. She's still hurting even though she's smiling now.”
”So what's your plan?”
”I don't have any yet.”
His face changed.
”But I'll think of something. Don't worry. Anyway, I've finished reading the latest proposal for the resort. Are you sure you want to give this project to me?”
”Yes. I don't have the time to manage it once I start touring and I need you to do it on my behalf.”
”But we have other managers, right?” she whined.
”But the one I truly trust is you. This is mom's pet project so you have to do it personally.”
”But why can't mom do it? I'm busy with the new collection.”
”Have you forgotten she's still in Athens with dad?”
Mika pursed her lips sadly. Their parents went for extended honeymoon since last month and hadn't come back since. She did ask her mom when they'd return but all she got was ”We will come back when we're done here.”
”I don't think it's fair for them to leave me,” she muttered sadly.
”You're no longer a kid. Of course they will leave you.” He put down his signature and took another file. ”If you have no other things to say, you can continue your work.”
”You're not fun at all.” With a huff, Mika stormed out from the room and went to her own office where Ryn was still deep in her sleep.
”When are you going to be my sister back, Ryn? Jeremy has changed into a monster now without you.”
Mika missed the time when her big brother would smile and cover her mistakes. He never scolded her or told her off. He would patiently explained and if she did not want to do it, he would do it for her. However, when both of them broke up and Ryn refused to meet or even talk with them, he changed. It took almost 2 years for him to admit it was his fault and she wished she could squeeze Jeremy's neck for being so blind and stupid.
”I'll make sure both of you together back. Don't worry, Ryn.”
