Chapter 115 Should he attend the dinner? (2/2)

”Hubby, stop teasing me~” she moaned. Her cheeks reddened shyly. He always teased her like this even when he knew she still needed to lose a little bit of weight after having Mia.

”I am being serious here. You are still as beautiful as the day we got married. So beautiful,” he leaned down to drop a kiss on her lips.

”Ee proper... well, almost proper. She swore she saw something moving near her mother's hips. No, better to act blind this time.

”I'm going to be late. Bye, mom, dad,” she tried to leave quickly but her father suddenly turned serious and stopped her.

”Yes, dad?”

”Tomorrow's night follow your elder brother to a charity dinner. Ask him the details.”

”Why can't you go there? Why do I have to follow along?” Mia was stunned to hear it. Usually, she was not allowed to go to formal programs. They kept using her young age and how immature she was to strengthen their reason.

”Well, both of us are going to be busy tomorrow so you two will represent us,” her father said firmly while her mother smiled happily as she hugged his arm, cooing gently.

Mia hugged herself and shivered. These childish couple!

”Okay. Fine. I'm going now. Bye,” she quickly walked toward the door, escaping from this nightmare. No wonder until now she still had no boyfriend. Too scary!

*~*~*~*~*

Harry stared at the computer screen. He was right. No wonder the name sound familiar. The company was the parent's company to the brand he worked with. It belonged to the name called Jeremy Long.

”Should I go?”

He did not think he was ready to face that man, knowing Jeremy was his biggest rival. He just learned about his own feeling and was still trying to find a way to woo into her heart. Did he have to meet his love rival this soon?

”Will Ryn attend as well?” he suddenly had the thought. He knew Rym was the spokesperson for all the brands under Mika's so it would be no surprise if she made an appearance there.

”Maybe I should ask her,” his hand reached for the phone and speed-dialled to her. He, once realized his feeling, quickly put her on his speed-dial. Easy for him to contact her anytime and anywhere.

This time she answered. His face brightened once he heard her voice.

”Hello, Harry?”

”Yes, it's me. Am I disturbing you?” his heart was pounded so hard just by hearing her voice. Why was he turning into a shy boy right now? This was not the first time he talked with Ryn. So why was he suddenly feeling so shy?

”Not really. Why? Do you need another practice?” she thought it was the reason behind the call. It was rational to think that way because other than that, they did not share any other thing, not even classes.

”No. No. No. I just... Well... I just received this invitation and thought... well... curious whether you will join to,” he scrambled to explain, wincing his face when he heard how awkward it was.

”What invitation? I don't think our university has any problem this week,” Ryn was puzzled with the question.

”No... no. no. no. What I mean is the charity dinner tomorrow's night. The one by Full Moon Corp,” he quickly explained, cursing himself for making her misunderstood.

”Oh, that one. Of course,” although she was puzzled with his questions, she did answer it honestly. Maybe he was nervous to attend it and hoped for a familiar face to chat with during the dinner.

”Oh. Then... I will see you there?” his heart pounded at the thought of seeing her. What kind of dress would she wear tomorrow?

Once they finished their conversation, he quickly jumped to his feet and looked at his wardrobe. What should he wear tomorrow?

His cheerful face changed when he realized he had no suitable clothes to wear for the charity dinner. Well, it seemed like he had to go buy one tomorrow. And maybe to the saloon to do his hair too.
