Chapter 58 Meeting someone else (1/2)

Jeremy quickly hugged Ryn. He stroked her back, feeling the pain Ryn was having.

When she felt his warm body closing around her, she let herself go. She let the tears raining down her cheeks.

The pain she felt that time, it almost killed her. She loved him so much, unconsciously she depended on him to motivate her in her work. He was the reason she was involved in the modelling. She wanted to be closer to him but she had no talent in musical. When she got the chance to be a model, she felt happy, thinking it would close their gap. Maybe underneath her happy-go-lucky appearance, she had low esteem with their different social status. She was the daughter of hippy parents while he came from a wealthy family.

And, she thought when she became famous, he would not feel ashamed of introducing her as his girlfriend to everyone.

So, what else could she think when he kept arguing with her about this matter? Was he ashamed of her family background? Was he ashamed she did not continue her study to focus on her modelling work?

Was it her fault?

They had arguments over arguments. But when they did not meet, she missed him so much. She wanted to be with him to the point of thinking to quit being a model. She wanted to accompany him to the shows and tours, taking care of him.

But her parents, well, her mother actually, pulled her to sit and told her to quit being so hopeless in love and become a strong woman. She should not depend on a man and never let a man to control her life. Her mother did not raise her to be a typical housewife, putting the husband on top of everything.

So she cancelled her plan and agreed to more jobs, much to the chagrin of her mother. She swore she heard her mother murmured, ”I was not talking about you becoming a victim to a capitalist world too.”

But it did not put her spirit down.

Her mother could not stop being herself and Ryn accepted it a long time ago.

Before she went to see Jeremy, she accepted a job, coincidentally close enough but still she had to take a flight to go to Jeremy. She was still exhausted from the work and the travel. She only had coffee to wake herself up, brushed her teeth and made sure she looked pretty and no sign of tiredness on her face before she grabbed a taxi and went to the hotel.

When she saw that woman, she could not control her emotion and went to slap Jeremy. They had a huge argument and he even raised his voice at her.

She was hurt. He did not even try to coax her. He did not even follow her when she ran away. No apology, just a shout of ”If you want to break-up, let's break-up. We can live our own life.”

And their love story ended just like that.

”I really am sorry. I was having a huge headache after drinking with Jennifer. You know she's the guest artist of the show and she begged to have a drink, just a drink.”

”So why was she wearing a robe?”

He frowned, trying to remember. ”The drink spilled when she was helping me when I was having a headache.”
