Chapter 188 - The universitys forum (2/2)
”What do you think about the filming?” Jeremy asked once they were on their way to the campus. Jason's car already disappeared between other cars. Jason was bringing Mika to her home to rest before he went to work.
But Jeremy had the feeling Jason would skip his work to accompany his fiancee.
”It went well... I hope,” Ryn mumbled. She had no idea what the edited version would be. Sometimes she even forgot about the cameras and just acted normal. Mei Li would be nagging at her if she knew so Ryn decided she would just keep quiet about this.
But, she guessed it went well because the director was grinning happily when he ushered his team out of the house. He also reminded her that she had to go to the screening of her episode.
”Everything is good, better than I thought,” the director said with a huge grin.
Ryn could not make head or tail behind the director's words so she just shrugged it off and allowed Mika to coax her for a pyjama party.
”What time you finish your class?” he asked. He would not tell her what he said during the interview session. He wanted her to hear it on the day of the screening and see her raw reaction.
”Mei Li will pick me up. She's accompanying me for the photoshoot session,” Ryn explained.
”Oh...” he did not continue. He planned to bring her to the studio but it seemed like she had planned everything. Was she determined to put a distance between them?
He stopped the car right in front of the building and smiled. She already unbuckled the safety belt and prepared to open the door.
”Wait,” he said and quickly got out to go to her side to open the door.
”This is so unnecessary,” she commented, shaking her head tiredly. She could guess why he was acting this way. It seemed like he had not given up trying to woo her.
”Why? I think I should treat you as you deserve, love,” he winked.
”Stop saying that publicly. Do you want people to hear? Do you want more gossip?” she quickly covered his mouth in horror, looking around hoping no one heard him just now.
”Do you mean I can call you love privately?” his eyes twinkled.
”Jeremy,” she gasped.
”Yes?”
”Stop joking around. It's not funny at all,” she tried to turn it into a joke, hoping Jeremy would play along. She could feel some of the students were looking at them, whispering at each other.
Oh no...
”I am not joking,” he denied, putting a stop to her effort to stop the gossip.
She stared at him but he just grinned.
”Go and study smart. I'll see you later,” he winked and pushed her toward the building gently.
”I am not finished with you,” Ryn warned but still walked into the building. She could not waste more time trying to make him work together with her. She was getting late and it was Miss Magnolia Lee's class!
”Oh, but I do, love. I do.” He went back into the car and drove to his office, whistling happily.
He saw some students took pictures of them and had no doubt in just a few hours, the gossip about them would break the internet.
This would not only stop Jennifer from creating false news about him and at the same time creating more chances between Ryn and him.
He grinned at the thought.

Harry was heading to his class when he saw some of his friends were gathering, looking at their phone. He frowned and joined them.
”Hey, what are you doing? Aren't we going to class?” he asked, placing his arms around their shoulders.
”Have you seen the forum yet?” one of them asked.
”What do you mean?” he took out his phone and looked at the university's forum.
There were several photos of a couple in front of a sports car.
The smile drained from his face. He recognized both of them.
”Ryn? Jeremy?” he choked out between his gritted teeth.
”Do you mean that man really is the famous singer?” one of them asked.
All of his friends looked at him in shock. A famous singer in their university campus... no... no... a famous singer in their faculty?
Harry did not answer. He gripped the phone and stormed into the building. He would ask Ryn to explain this. He demanded her to explain all this.
”Ryn, you can't do this to me. You can't...” he muttered.
