Chapter 149 Something seemed off but nothing seemed differen (2/2)

Again, as both of them walking to the exit, Ryn was stopped by the other models and even the agency workers, all asking about her health and feeling. They were worried when they heard the news of her being kidnapped and tried to call her but it was hard to get through her. Her phone was always switched off. Even Mei Li was hospitalized after the incident and when she came back days later, told them not to worry and Ryn was alright. The doctor gave Ryn several days off to rest and recuperate. But it was not the same as asking to the person herself!

Ryn smiled and assured them she was alright. She even grinned when they were looking at the scars worriedly. She told them what cream she used for the scars and insisted she looked better now than before. She did not show any photo, though, as evidence. But none actually demanded to see how she looked after the incident. All they wanted to know was her health and whether she was already okay.

Mei Li went to get the car when she saw it would take more time while Ryn entertained their questions.

It took Ryn almost twenty minutes before she could leave the building. She got into the car and blew out a relieved sigh. She glanced at Mei Li and smiled weakly.

”Are you okay?” Mei Li asked, waiting until Ryn did the safety belt before she switched the gear and drove the car away.

”Yes.”

”I've arranged with Sugar and tomorrow she will wait for us in the office around 9.00 am. I'll pick you up half an hour before?”

”Okay,” Ryn noted down the note and put the timer in her phone for reminder.

”I've called the two productions and they wanted to discuss the time tomorrow. Are you sure you want to start working?”

”Yes. I'll be there. So, we will meet them after signing the contract?”

”Yes. I will confirm back tomorrow morning.”

Ryn nodded. Her eyes were getting heavier. She was so exhausted she could fall asleep right there and then.

And she did just that. She gave in to her tiredness and closed her eyes.

Mei Li could only smile seeing the woman she was in charge with fell asleep. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and drove the car carefully. She did not want to interrupt Ryn's sleep. Ryn deserved to rest more after the scare that day. She was too stubborn to admit how scared she was but selling and buying a new house, was it not admitting unconsciously the scare she had?

”If only you could open up your heart to be honest with me, Ryn,” she murmured.

Ryn only revealed the side she showed to the public. It was hard to know what she truly had inside her mind with the poker face she put on her face in the public. It was frustrating in a way to be unable to guess what Ryn would say or do next. It made Mei Li had to guess hard, to imagine what Ryn would react over something or a new project.

It was a hard job but someone had to do it.

And that someone was her, Mei Li.

She sighed at the thought.

Hopefully, Ryn would feel better soon.

Jeremy walked out of the bathroom room only wearing a white bathrobe. His hair was wet and his hands did not stop rubbing it with a towel.

His body felt so refreshed and he felt better.

But then, he frowned when his eyes looked around his room.

Something seemed off but nothing seemed different.

He still could not name what it was, it was at the tip of his tongue but he could not point out what made his heart uneasy.

It was weird.

He felt weird.

How could he feel uneasy in his own room?

This was ridiculous.

He shook his head and took a deep breath to calm his heart, and clear his head.

Nothing was wrong.

It was just a feeling, nothing important. Nothing worth to look at.

He continued rubbing his hair dry. The dinner should be ready soon and he was hungry.

He wondered what the menu for the dinner tonight was.

Hopefully, Cook made her famous chocolate pudding tonight. He felt like eating it suddenly.

He licked his lips at the thought. The hunger made his stomach growled louder.

He quickly put on his red checked pyjama. And then layered it with a red satin robe. He layered face toner, face essence and moisturizer quickly, patting them dry rather roughly before he walked toward the door.

”Young Master, Miss Catherine just returned. She is freshening herself before joining you for dinner,” the butler reported when Jeremy opened the door of his room.

”Okay. I'll wait for her at the dining room,” Jeremy said and walked toward the dining room.

The butler grinned hugely. He even rubbed his hands anticipatingly. Ooh... hopefully, tonight the heir for the Long would be conceived.
