Chapter 185 - Having lunch with Harry? (1/2)

The practice ended with Harry not only practised his walk but Ryn also told him what to do if something unexpected happens.

”It happens sometimes but remember, do not panic,” she said wisely.

He smiled seeing her in her teaching mode. She was so serious and earnest with her teaching, nothing she left off. All her knowledge she gave and in such way, everyone could understand easily. He bet the viewers even learned something from this session.

”Do you have any other question?” Ryn asked.

”I guess that's all. I don't know what else I don't know,” Harry scratched his head sheepishly.

”Anything you can ask me and other seniors,” Ryn said as she picked her bag up.

”Do you have any plan after this?” Harry asked. He knew she would have something in plan with the camera following around.

”Err...” Ryn was a bit uneasy. She was having a housewarming party but she did not even invite Harry. Why did it feel like Harry knew about the party?

But she was not that close to him to invite him to her new place. They were just friends but not that intimate like she with Mika.

”I already have another plan,” Ryn said finally.

”Then, can we have lunch together before you do whatever you plan to do? My treat,” Harry said. He knew he sound like he was begging her in front of the camera but he did not care. If this could even create a gossip between them and making that man give up, better.

”Lunch?” Ryn checked her watch, frowning. Would she have enough time to buy grocery and cook before they come?

”Yeah. I heard there's a new steak restaurant open and the steak is quite good,” Harry enticed and kissed his own fingers to show how delicious it was.

”Steak?” Ryn did not even notice she was licking her lips hungrily.

But Harry and the crews caught it. Harry hid a smile.

”Let's go.” Harry quickly slipped the address and phone number to the crews while pretending he was on the way to switch off the speaker. The man winked and handed the paper to the director for further action.

”I...” Ryn was still trying to reject the offer even though she really wanted to go to the restaurant. Delicious steak? Better than the one Harry made?

”What are you thinking about?” Harry asked when he saw the ever-changing expression on her face. He knew she was still deciding whether to accept his offer or not. It was adorable when she made faces like that.

”Nothing... Err... Maybe next...” she touched her growling stomach. Silently she cursed her stomach for betraying her. Stupid stomach!

He grinned. The camera did not catch it but he did hear the growling. He gently put his hand behind her back and ushering her toward the door.

”Let's go. My treat.”

He already gave his permission to the crews to install camera into his car, even gave his car key and his plate number to them when he went out for a second during the practice. He waited until they returned his key before he went back into the studio.

So far, everything went well.

The car was parked quite close to the entrance so they did not have to walk far. He opened the door for her, like a true gentleman he was. Then, he went to the driver seat and got into the car. He could not help from smiling. He was happy when she agreed to spend more time with him.

”So, what's your plan today?” he asked again.

She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. She ignored the camera completely. Although it would make it weird during screening but she refused to invite those not close to her to attend the housewarming. She was not this close to Harry!

He sighed. It was clear she refused to answer it. She could not be asleep this easily especially when the camera was recording.

That was why he liked her so much. She did not care how people think about her. But the way she act was so adorable. Even the way she was sleeping was cute. He wondered why she never received any endorsement from a mattress company. The matresses would be sold in just minutes when they saw how adorable she was.

”Well, I will wake you up once we have arrived,” he said with a wry smile.

He turned his focus on driving. Later, he would try to make her agree to spend more time with him after lunch. He determined to make her spend time with him today.

”Ryn, wake up,” he shook her shoulder gently. They finally arrived and he found a parking lot near the building.

”Hmm... we have arrived?” Ryn mumbled sleepily.

Harry hid a grin. From pretending to a real sleep. She was so adorable!

He opened the door for her. Then, offered his hand.

Still sleepy, she just did whatever he offered. She accepted the offered hand and allowed him to usher her toward the building.

”Do you need coffee?” he asked while they were walking.

”Hmm...”

”You slept late last night?” he asked.
