Chapter 148 The emergency meeting (2/2)

The gardener team nodded. They would have their own small meeting to decide what to bring in.

”Ben, you will follow me outside. We will go buy something for the 'drink'.”

The butler paused and looked at everyone. Then, his eyes caught a man, ”Gim, destroy everything that prevent birth in Young Master's room.”

”Is there any?” Lily whispered at Lela.

”Of course there is. Miss Catherine is here,” Lela whispered back.

”Ah...”

”I know a tonic recipe to make someone's conceive quickly,” an elder maid raised up her hand.

”Then, you should go and tell the Cook to prepare one,” the butler nodded.

”The rest of you, remember you didn't see or hear anything,” the butler reminded.

”Yes, president,” all of the servants cried loudly.

”Okay... move before one of them return,” the butler ordered.

”We will show the London team we are better than them,” the butler rubbed his hands anticipatingly. He actually discarded the Bali and the Switzerland team. They were useless. Not able to do anything more than expectation. They had no motivation and no eagerness to improve their Masters' life. Hmph, nothing to be proud of.

*~*~*~*

Ryn looked out of the window as she waited for Mei Li to bring their lunch to the table. She did not say a word of what she was truly feeling. After saying goodbye to Sugar and promising to meet again and this time at the office, Ryn told Mei Li she was hungry and wanted to eat.

Her finger tapped on the table, following the beat of her heartbeat.

Her eyes landed on a file, with all the information about the houses she saw since yesterday inside. She already put aside all the houses she rejected. Obviously the first team would be the houses from yesterday. The top of the pile was the house she chose.

Actually she was stuck between house number two and three but finally, she made up her mind. Tomorrow, she would go and sign the agreement.

”Oh my God, you won't believe how long the queue just now,” Mei Li cried as she place the tray full of food onto the table.

Ryn glanced at the counter. The queue was still long. No wonder Mei Li took quite some time to return.

”Have you settled with cancelling the contracts?” Ryn suddenly asked as she took her food closer.

”Hmm... but three of them would wait for you,” Mei Li replied, frowning, ”Only one asked for reimburse for cancelling the contract.”

”I'll follow their schedule then. Next week is okay,” unconsciously Ryn rubbed the scar on her hands.

Thanks to Mika for the creams she bought, the scars were disappearing slowly. They were no longer hurt. The pain, Ryn knew, was all in her mind. It was the psychology scar.

And because of this psychology scar, Ryn decided to have a new beginning by living in a new house.

”Later are you going to the company?” Ryn asked.

”Hmm...” Mei Li still had a few documents to settle. She also needed to check some opportunities for Harry.

”I'll follow you,” Ryn had something do to at the office too.

”Okay,” although she was curious, Mei Li did not ask much. Ryn must have something to do in the office.

They no longer chatted while they were having their lunch. Mei Li was planning silently which documents she would 'attack' after this. Ryn, on the other hand, was looking outside the window while chewing her food thoughtfully.

They were on their way to the agency office just half an hour later. They did make a detour to a drive-through of a coffee shop. Ryn sipped her hot chocolate silently as she watched Mei Li looking for an empty parking lot.

The receptionist of the agency quickly stood up and approached Ryn when she saw her coming. She clucked her tongue sympathetically seeing the scars on Ryn's body and face. Being the lazy Ryn, she did not bother to wear make-up to cover anything so everyone could see what happened that day.

”I'm okay already,” Ryn told her with a smile.

”You should take another day off,” the receptionist said and glared at Mei Li.

”She is but she wants to come,” Mei Li replied, glaring back at the receptionist.

”Enough. I'm going to the studio,” Ryn shook her head in bemused and headed toward the studio. She wanted to practice her walk, just in case, she forgot how to...
