Chapter 7 Cannot be that childish child anymore (2/2)
”Aunty, you forgot to buy the grocery again. There is no chocolate and even milk for me to make your favourite pudding,” Harry shook his head. Then he looked at Ryn interestingly, ”Are you coming for the trip?”
”What trip?” Ryn cut the steak into tiny pieces carefully. She loved steaks so much, especially when there were black pepper sauce and whipped potato. Ooh… just love them. She did not even mind having to put more time to exercise as long as she could eat steak.
It drove her manager crazy.
”The one the student union conducted once a year. This year we're going to an island. Are you interested?”
She pursed her lips thoughtfully and shrugged. Her schedule was too full for these two months with only a day or two days break in between the jobs.
”Maybe next time.”
Harry frowned. Everyone was excited with the trip. He got a place because he was one of the committee. So far the space was filled with applications and they had trouble choosing who to go.
”Anyway, the cake you made last time was fabulous. Can you make one for me?” Angel gave puppy eyes at Ryn.
”Maybe in two weeks? I have a plan already.” Ryn checked her watch. She still had time. ”Do you want chocolate cake like last time?”
”Of course. With chocolate ganache?” Angel beamed when Ryn nodded.
Harry chuckled as he shook his head. His aunt was so shameless and she was even proud of it.
Ryn devoured everything while promising to make the cake Angel wanted. She waved goodbye to both and went home. She could hear the cry from Angel when Harry demanded her to choose who makes the better cake; he or Ryn. They were such a weird aunty-nephew. Looks more like two kids playing around.
Whatever. She still needed to pack her things for the trip.
She took a quick shower before started to check her wardrobe. She decided to wear her pyjama for the trip and changed into casual clothes once she arrived at the airport.
”You're wearing those again?”
She just grinned when was asked by her manager once she got into the taxi. She snuggled closer to her and yawned.
”It's going to be a long flight. Do you bring your assignments?”
”Of course.”
”How much longer until you graduate?” Mei Li, her manager asked again.
”Not going to tell you. I know you want to arrange more assignments for me.” Ryn stuck her tongue out playfully. She giggled when Mei Li pinched her nose in return.
”I won't take things you cannot handle. Besides, the last word belongs to you, not me,” Mei Li pointed out.
”You better remember that.”
”I just wish you can be your happy-go-lucky back.”
”I've grown up, Mei Li. I can't be that childish child ever again.”
