Chapter 171 - Shes not a liar! (2/2)

Mia stuck her tongue out at Harry.

Harry gripped his fists to control his temper. Deciding that it was better to not seeing that face of his little sister, Harry went upstairs to grab his car key and then went out to drive away.

”Where do you think you're going, Harry? It's already late,” Mrs Si shouted but her son ignored her.

Harry simply walked out of the house, into one of his cars and drove away. Staying in this house was driving him nuts!

He drove aimlessly. He just needed to be left alone. He needed to calm himself before his temper get the better of him.

That program actually opened up his eyes how dangerous it was to be popular. Everything and anything was scrutinized by everyone, even though they do not know the person personally. They could create assumptions and rumours based on what they think is the real personality or behaviour of that person.

No wonder Ryn never cared about popularity. She just did her own work and did not spend time outside without her manager or best friend, in order not to give the opportunity for the paparazzi to catch her in any compromise situation. She spent more time in the house rather than outside like some other girls in the campus. Heck, it was hard for him to find her doing nothing at the campus other than studying or working out in the gym... or eating. Other than these three activities, she would not be in the campus.

Ryn also did not care what the students in the campus talked about her. When the advertisement of the university came out and everyone realized she became the main 'spokesperson' during the whole video, she just shrugged it off and continued her life like it was nothing. Even when some of the girls accused her of doing something behind the scene to get her 'spotlight', she just pointed out about the girls' lateness and inability to meet Jack's requirement. It made people think of Ryn as being arrogant but she just shrugged it off.

”Why should I care what they think when I know I've done nothing wrong? Besides, I get paid to do it so I should do it perfectly,” Ryn told him when he asked whether she felt hurt with the treatments received from the students, especially from the girls.

This answer actually made him determine to do his best in his job too. If she could ignore what others think about her as long as she does everything expected of her and actually good in it, why couldn't he follow her footsteps and become the best version of himself? He did not want to be labelled as a model who is depending on his family's wealth to get jobs. He wanted to be known for his own talent and professionalism.

That was why he could not believe what this so-called 'kind-hearted' and 'talented' singer claimed about Ryn. He would not believe his Ryn would do such thing. She was too busy to be in any relationship!

”No. You are not like that. You would not deliberately break anyone's relationship because of jealousy. You're too kind to do that,” he muttered.

He did not know how but he found himself in front of Ryn's house. Well, actually the car stopped in front of Angel's house. He shut the engine off and got out of the car. Then, he went to her house, standing at the gate of the house.

It was dark.

Ryn was not inside. No one was inside the house.

Harry sighed a bit. Until now he had no idea where Ryn was. He tried to contact her but she refused to answer all his calls and messages. Was she angry at him? What had he done wrong?

”Ryn, stop hiding from me. I need to know what's going on with you,” he muttered. His hands rested on her gate.

He spent there about fifteen minutes before he gave up waiting and drove the car away, bringing along his broken heart.

*~*~*~*

Ryn woke up from the ringing of her phone. At first, she wanted to ignore it but the caller was so insisted to talk with her.

With a groan, she reached for her phone and tapped it.

”Hello?”

”Ryn, where are you right now?” it was Mei Li and she sounded desperate.

”Home. Why?”

”I'm on my way to pick you up. Get ready.”

”Huh? What?” Ryn wanted to ask more but Mei Li was already ended the call. Ryn frowned, looking at the phone in puzzle. What was going on?

Ryn walked sleepily into her bathroom to wash her face. She was still so sleepy. What time was it right now?

She changed into black denim jeans and black shirt. As the day was getting late, she also put on her white knitted sweater. Her hair was pulled into the usual ponytail and covered with a cap. She grumbled to herself the reason why she had to get ready this late and why Mei Li sounded so nervous on the phone. Couldn't it postpone to tomorrow instead? She could spare several hours before visiting Mika.

She did not wait long when she received the call from Mei Li. Her manager had arrived and was waiting downstairs. Ryn reached for her backpack and housekey. She locked the door, only to unlock back.

”Luckily I haven't moved yet,” she murmured and went into her room to get her phone. She almost forgot to bring her phone along!

She walked casually to the elevator, holding to her sleepiness desperately. She still wanted to sleep but had to move. Wasn't this a cruel thing to do to her? Forcing her to stay awake when all she wanted to do was sleeping?
