Chapter 10 When are you going to invite us to your aunts house (1/2)
”Whose brilliant idea for us to do this after breakfast?”
He chuckled hearing the grumble. They were on their way to the waterfall. It was one of the plans when they arranged this trip so it should not be a shock for them to be here. Unlike most of them, he had no hangover. The girls pulled out from this trip, too sleepy and exhausted to do the jungle trekking.
”Ryn, wait.”
He turned and saw a very familiar girl walking leisurely toward them. Behind her was a woman, panting and puffing. Ryn? She came too? She said she had another plan.
”Come on. The faster we arrive, the faster I can eat my lunch.”
Yup. That's Ryn alright. She loves eating so much despite of her being so slim. He wondered where she put all the food she ate, especially steaks. She could finish 3 steaks in one seating, hence he had to cook more whenever he had to prepare dinner for his aunt.
”Hey, Ryn.”
Ryn looked at him and the others. She waited for the woman to catch up and frowned at the panting woman, ”Do you need more water?”
”I want to go home. I can't do this anymore. I want to go home,” Mei Li almost cried from exhaustion. It was a bad idea to come here. She should just suggest they take picture in the room. Outside on the beach was cool too. Why oh why was she being so stupid to suggest nature at the waterfall for the first picture?
”Cheer up. I'll treat you meat for lunch and dinner. Come, eat this chocolate to recharge your energy.” Ryn took out a chocolate bar from the bag and handed it to Mei Li. ”Hey, Harry. Your group?”
”Yeah. I thought you didn't come.” Harry introduced them to her. She chatted with them for few minutes before continued her journey. She wanted to arrive quickly, take the pictures needed and go back to the hotel room. She wanted to sleep! No. Not sleep. Eat first then sleep.
”She's in our university?”
”Yes. She's in business management. Our junior.”
”Why haven't you brought her along? I've never seen her before. How do you know her, by the way?”
Harry finally stopped and looked at them. There was no more tiredness or sleepiness in their face. All looked eager to know more about Ryn.
Harry sighed a bit.
”She's my aunt's neighbour. I don't know much about her because she's quite private,” he refused to tell them about her habit of eating with them at aunt's house. If his friends knew, they'd ask him to bring them along to have meal with her. He's not that close to her and it would be awkward if his friends started making a fool of themselves just to flirt with her. He shivered at that thought. Better keep some as secrets.
”When are you going to invite us to your aunt's house?”
Harry stared at their sheepish face. What the heck?

Jeremy took few deep breaths to calm himself. Why was she being so stubborn? He had apologized hundred times but still she refused to accept him back.
”I've told you not to call her,” Mika commented with a loud yawn. ”She's under stress now with her workload and you want to question her for being in Lexie's?”
”Shouldn't she support me first?” he tried not to sound childish in front of his younger sister but it was hard. He loved her too much. He wanted her back.
”I'm going to the office today. Do you want to come?” she yawned again.
Today was the day for checking the new collection. He always helped her with his opinion. She would not let him off the hood just because he was joining the entertainment world again.
”New collection?”
”Yes. Treat me lunch too.”
”We haven't had our breakfast and you've already thinking about lunch?” he sometimes couldn't understand what's in his sister's mind. If people met her for the first time, they'd think she was a high schooler with her Lolita kind of clothes and childishness. However, when they saw her in the company, they'd realize how serious she was in her work.
The title Little Lolita Witch she earned was not for nothing.
And usually during this time that name was whispered among their workers, hoping the wand was not pointed toward them.
”Next week we're going to choose the models for the show. Do you want to join in?” she went to make her coffee. She must bring coffee to work. She even had a coffee machine in the office.
Yes, she's a coffee addict.
She tried to eat healthily. She even tried to follow Ryn's diet but her best friend's favourite food was steak. How could she eat steak every day and maintaining her figure? Following other model's diet? She was going to die from hunger! And she hated exercise.
She quickly followed behind Jeremy when she realized her brother was going to leave her behind.
