Chapter 138 I wish I could kill you (1/2)

Jeremy watched in bemused as Mika paced around the room, fretting. He just smiled, leaning his body comfortably against the headboard. It had been days for him lying on this bed doing nothing but opening his mouth each time he was fed food and medicine. Other than that, he did nothing else except checking his phone and watching Ryn.

And now, his activity was watching his little sister pacing the room agitatedly.

Ryn was not there with them. She had a class today and she refused to skip any class.

”Can't you stop being so... So...” Mika pointed an angry finger at him.

”Being what?” he asked innocently.

”I know you're happy Ryn is willing to stay here but it doesn't mean you can just ignore everything else.”

”You can handle it,” he looked at his phone.

”Jeremy, you are the boss. You can't just leave everything to me. I do want Ryn to be with us but it doesn't mean you can leave everything on my shoulders. I am the baby!” she cried loudly. It has been four days after he broke his fever but until now he refused to go to work. It was not right, right?

”Ryn told me to rest.”

”But you are not sick anymore!”

”But I need to rest. Ryn said so,” Jeremy replied stubbornly.

Mika growled, just plain growling at her brother, angrily. Her brother was so... So... Annoying! How could he behave this way? He's the CEO of the company and will even inherit their father's company!

”Stop being so childish, Mika. I am giving you training to take care of the business. See, I did not comment anything about how you manage it,” he shrugged.

Without thinking, she grabbed whatever she could grab on the antique cabinet at the wall and threw to him before storming out. She was so pissed off, she did not dare to promise she would not kill him if she stayed another moment longer.

The maids quickly planted themselves close to the wall, to avoid being hit by their young mistress. It seemed like young master was making her angry again.

Mika stormed into her room and growled again. She paced around the room, trying to calm down, but the memory of the smirk on his face really boiled her blood. He dared to say her being childish when he himself was the childish one right now.

Who was the matured one now?

”I wish I could kill you,” she hit the pillow hard, imagining that the pillow was her own brother. She punched it so many times until she grabbed it and threw it to the wall. She was so mad, she even felt like crying. How could Jeremy be so irresponsible?

*~*~*~*

Ryn was walking toward a big tree to have her lunch when she heard her name being called. She turned and smiled at Harry. It had been days she last met him and was a bit glad seeing him still wanting to speak with her.

Today she was being ignored by almost everyone. If only that, she did not care. But this time, they even stared at her, pointing their fingers at her without a care whether she could see it or not, then talked to each other rather loudly, as if they deliberately raised their voice so she could hear them clearly.

Did it hurt her feeling?

Truthfully it did. But she tried to ignore it. She should be used with this. She should be used with others gossiping about her because of her job. Yes, she should be used of it but this time, the words they used really hurt her. They accused her of being the perpetrator of the kidnapping, of trying to create news to make everyone in the country knew her, to make her popular. They even dared to say the wounds all over her body was created deliberately to make it looked real.

Hence, instead of going to the cafe, she went to a secluded area to have her lunch before going to the next class. She wanted to be alone from others, to avoid them so she could avoid listening to their accusation and jeer.

She was after all a human being, having feeling. She still could feel hurt by others' poisonous words. She was not a doll or a robot.

”Hey, Ryn,” Harry greeted breathlessly. He was, in fact, running all the way from the building two blocks away, wanting to see her so much. He missed her so much.

”Hey, Harry. How are you doing?” she asked, smiling at him. She was so happy to see a friendly face, she was actually grinning from ear to ear.

He was taken back seeing her cheerful expression but quickly composed himself. He smiled back and took a seat beside her. He looked at the food container in her hand, ”Are you having your lunch here?”
