Chapter 184 - The walking practice with Harry (1/2)

She woke up with the alarm blaring loudly near her ears. Of course, she woke up to silence the alarm. She sat up sleepily, then fell down back to continue her sleep. She slept late last night. She finished an assignment and planned to hand it during the next class.

Then, she sat up abruptly.

The walking practice!

She pushed the blanket and hurried walked to the door, only to return back to silence the alarm. ”Quiet down,” she told the alarm absent-mindedly.

On the way to the door, she grabbed the rubber band to tie her hair into a bun on top of her head and headed to the bathroom. Hopefully, she would not be late for the practice.

It was a quick shower just to open her eyes. Cold shower really did the job but of course, she still needed something more to hold her for several hours.

”Should I cook or buy breakfast?” she asked loudly, walking to the kitchen after putting on a green top and jeans. She checked the fridge while rubbing her stomach absent-mindedly.

She took out three packets of cold steaks with a huge smile on her face. Good breakfast would make her mood good today. Good mood = good day.

Nothing would go wrong today.

She made a quick work cooking the steaks and even brewing coffee. Then, she finally noticed the camera at the corner of her eyes.

”Oh...” she mumbled but did not comment more.

Just act as if nothing was wrong.

Just act as if those cameras were not there.

Treat them as if they were invisible.

She was in the middle of cooking her breakfast when the bell rang. She frowned but walked to the door to open it.

”Good morning, Miss Catherine,” Edward greeted cheerfully with the two men behind him bobbed a nod.

Ryn replied the greeting and opened the door.

”I'm cooking breakfast right now... but I only made enough for me,” she explained rather awkwardly. She forgot about them... totally.

”It's okay, Miss Catherine. We've had our breakfast,” the director said with his two crews nodded. Every time they had to do filming, they would eat and even have more food in the van. They would not starve at all.

”Oh... okay,” Ryn nodded dumbly and returned back to the kitchen. Luckily her steaks were not burned. She quickly moved them to a plate and paused.

It was a very short pause.

She was thinking what she should do next in the seconds she was pausing. Should she offer her only food to them or just act like they were not there?

Just eat her breakfast and pretend she was alone, she decided.

She walked to the small table with her steaks and coffee. The crews were busy with the director giving instruction to his men. They were not rushing to record her eating. The cameras at the wall would do the job.

”Miss Catherine,” the director called politely when Ryn was done doing the dishes after breakfast.

”Yes?”

”Can we interview you now? It's a simple interview. I will ask you some questions and you can answer them,” the director requested politely.

”Err... okay...” Ryn checked the time first before gave her agreement. She still had time to answer questions. Mei Li did tell her this interview would happen for a few times during the filming.

”Where do you want me to sit?” she asked.

”Can you sit on that sofa?” the director pointed at the sofa.

Ryn sat there and watched as one of the crews quickly adjusted the camera. Then, he gave a thumb up.

Edward started to ask her several questions and she answered, making sure the answers were acceptable but at the same time did not give too much insight to her real world. She still needed to keep most of her life in private, especially the history of her relationship.

She would never tell anyone about her past with Jeremy!

It lasted for several minutes before Edward announced it was enough. When Edward asked her what her plan next, she plainly said: ”I need to go to the agency.”

”We will follow you.”

Ryn sighed and could only nod. She did allow this to happen.

”Now, can you pretend you just finished doing your dishes and continue from that?” Edward asked.

With another sigh, Ryn went back to the sink to do just that. She took a tumbler to fill with water before went into her bedroom to get her backpack. Her hand automatically punched in several times on the screen of her phone. She needed to call a Grab to go to the agency.

”I need to learn how to drive,” she murmured absentmindedly.
