Chapter 119 The charity dinner 4 (2/2)

But he had no idea what to do. She was too 'cold' now. Although she helped him with his walking last time but she was too professional. She did not ask much what he was doing lately. It as if she was not interested in him.

Even if they were just friends, wasn't it rational for her to be more curious about him? But no. She did not ask anything. Just nodded whenever he and Angel told her something. What was important for her whenever they had a 'meeting', steaks. A lot of steaks.

He guessed it was the only thing that made her think about him. His ability to make delicious steaks!

Well, at least she did not bat an eye when she learned his family's wealth.

He closed his eyes and tried to think. What could he do?

She hated shopping but she loved eating.

His eyes popped open.

Yes.

Yes.

He could ask her out to eat. They would not go to an expensive restaurant. He noticed she did not even care how many star Michelline the restaurant has or whether it was expensive or cheap. As long as the food is delicious, she loved it.

He quickly switched on his computer and started to search. He needed to plan this carefully.

”Why do you still want to return home? It is already late,” Mika cried, refusing to let go of Ryn's hand.

The cry started when they just got into the car and Ryn told Jeremy who was driving the car to send her home.

”I have work tomorrow, Mika. If I return with you, I would be late for work tomorrow morning. You are too high to sleep once you reach home. I know you,” Ryn explained.

”But... but I can send you,” Mika cried.

”It's okay. Mei Li will pick me up. I have to get out in....” Ryn checked her watch, frowning, ”Three more hours. If I were with you, you won't get enough sleep.”

”Mika, Ryn knows what she is doing. You are already exhausted with the program. Don't worry about Ryn. She knows what to do,” Jeremy suddenly spoke up. Although he also wished for Ryn to stay the night at their place, but he understood the reason behind.

”But... but...”

”Mika, my days this week is quite hectic and I don't want to interrupt your work. Once I have done with all my assignments and projects, we will spend time together, okay?” Ryn coaxed, hugging Mika tightly.

”Hmm... really? Promise?” Mika's voice was low. She was a bit sad when she could not spend more time with her best friend. Why wouldn't Ryn just work at the company so they could spend more time together?

”I promise.”

Jeremy blew out a relieved sigh when Ryn finally managed to coax Mika. The car glid smoothly toward Ryn's house.

An hour later they finally reach the house.

Jeremy parked the car and turned to look at the passengers at the back. He was not even surprised to see them both sleeping. When there was no noise and sound coming from the back, he already knew they had fallen asleep.

It was, after all, a very long day, especially for both of them. Ryn had a photoshoot in the morning and rushed straight to the hotel to change into the dress and put on the make-up and hair. Mika, on the other hand, was busy arranging and doing the last minute preparation at both venues.

He had it easy. He only needed to change into his suits and greeted everyone during the program.

Maybe he should give Mika a short holiday to recharge her energy back. He had no doubt she would love it. But, he had to ensure that the days should be at the same time Ryn having no assignments nor classes.

Hmm...

Jeremy put the thought to another time and opened the door for Ryn. Both women did not even wake up when the car stopped and when the door was opened and closed. He leaned into the passenger side and caressed Ryn's arm gently.

Ryn did not stir.

Jeremy chuckled and leaned even forward so he could move Mika's head which was resting against Ryn's other arm. Mika grumbled something under her breath but did not wake up. Jeremy used the small pillows arranging around her to make her sleep better (without holding onto Ryn).

”Love, wake up. We have arrived.” He kissed her cheek gently, waking her up.

”Hmm...?” she blinked her blurry eyes and the first time she saw was his face. In her groggy mind, she smiled and pursed her lips.

His eyes widened. She just asked him for a kiss, right? So it was an invitation, right?

He closed his eyes and pursed his lips a bit. His heart pounded so hard as their lips getting closer.

”Jeremy, stop!”

His head froze. His eyes widened. It felt like his heart stop pounding.

Uh oh...
