Chapter 186 - A failed lunch date (1/2)

Harry was enjoying the steak with Ryn when he saw a very familiar person heading toward them. He frowned.

”Ryn, I'm here,” Mika announced loudly and without warning, sat next to Ryn happily.

”Your meal,” Ryn said gently as she pushed the bowl of salad and orange juice.

Harry was speechless. Did Ryn know about this? Was it the reason why she ordered the salad she hated so much? That was why she ordered another glass of orange juice?

Why didn't she inform him about Mika?

”How do you feel now?” Ryn asked as she cut a small piece of steak into tinier pieces to put into Mika's bowl of salad.

”Just two pieces is enough,” Mika said before frowned. ”How many steaks you've eaten today?”

”Just one,” Ryn lied with a straight face. Luckily the two previous plates were already returned to the kitchen so she only left one more plate of steak.

Mika looked around and when she saw the crews, she just ignored them. ”Good place here. What else do they have other than steaks?”

Harry unwillingly lifted his hand to call the waiter. The waiter quickly handed the menu to Mika.

”Have you ordered dessert?” Mika asked while checking the menu.

”Not yet,” Ryn's focus was not on Mika but on the steak.

Harry just kept quiet. His mood dropped. Why did Ryn invite Mika along? Shouldn't this be their lunch date? He was not happy with what happened.

”So, how's the practise this morning?” Mika asked Harry, no longer interested on chatting with the hungry Ryn.

Harry lifted his head when he heard no reply from Ryn. He slowly pointed at himself, asking Mika whether the question was for him.

Mika nodded.

”Erm... good, I guess.”

”Keep on practice. You have the potential to go far,” Mika was not stingy with her praise. ”Next month we will have another audition for a show,” Mika told.

”Final exam,” Ryn suddenly said.

”So you're unable to join the show?” Mika asked, her face fell.

”Nope. Didn't Mei Li told you?” Ryn chewed the last piece of steak happily.

”No...” Mika put down the cutleries and took out her phone. She typed a message to her assistant and then put it down.

”You two are joining,” Mika said firmly with a happy smile.

Harry widened his eyes at that announcement. He looked at Ryn but she did not look shocked at all.

”Send the new date to Mei Li,” Ryn said as she placed the cutleries down and reached for her drink. Her stomach was finally full and she was happy. ”What did you ask for dessert?”

”Chocolate mousse and red velvet,” Mika replied.

Ryn looked toward the kitchen eagerly. Although she was already full but dessert was a different slot in her stomach.

Harry kept quiet. He felt like an outsider in the table. The girls did not say a word but the way they interact, it was clear. It was a bad feeling.

He should bring Ryn to a further restaurant.

He handed his credit card to the waiter silently when everyone was done with their meal. He put down her signature. Then, he stood up but unable to pull Ryn's chair like before. Ryn and Mika were already standing up as they chatted together.

It was, in his opinion, a failed lunch date.

”Thank you, Harry, for treating us lunch,” Mika said cheerfully. Her arm was wrapped around Ryn's slim waist. She was giving a silent command for him to leave. Ryn belonged to her and Harry should remember his place.

”Let's go,” Mika pulled Ryn toward her car.

”You're helping me with the grocery?” Ryn asked, cocking an eyebrow.

”Of course. Do you think I would let you take a taxi with the grocery? You don't even have a car,” Mika pointed out.
