Chapter 191 - Harrys lack of concentration (1/2)

She blew out a sigh once she lifted her head and looked up at the sky. It was blue with white clouds dotting on it. Some clouds even were in the shape of animals and food!

She smiled at the sight. It was beautiful!

She spent about two hours settling the rest of her semester. She could finish her courses early as long as she finished everything including the final exam.

She adjusted her bag and started to walk toward the bus stand. Mei Li would pick her up and bring her to her home. Although it was hard,  still she did tell Mei Li about her decision last night, after the photo shoot. Mei Li could not stop grinning when she heard about it, which Ryn complained dryly.

No doubt Mei Li would start arranging so many works for her, in order to fill her time, Mei Li would claim.

Of course, the first thing Ryn would do once she was done with everything regarding her study was learning how to drive a car. She could not depend on everyone to bring her everywhere!

And she also wanted to avoid the kidnapping incident from happening ever again.

Harry and his friends were heading toward the basketball court when he noticed her standing at the bus stand. He paused and then told his friends to go first. Then, he jogged toward Ryn with a smile on his handsome face.

”Hey,” he greeted.

”Hey yourself,” she replied, cocking an eyebrow seeing him in his sports attire. ”Basketball practise?” she nodded at his attire.

”Yeah,” he scratched his head sheepishly. As he was about to invite her to watch him playing, he saw her waving her hand at something behind him.

Not again, his heart whispered. Was she waiting for that man?

He turned and the smile dropped. A familiar car drove toward them. It stopped and the window was lowered down, revealing the smiling Mei Li.

”Oh, hi Harry,” she greeted, a bit shock to see both models under her responsibility were together at the bus stand. Was he going to go with them too?

He greeted back half-heartedly. It seemed like he would not be able to have Ryn watching and cheering him during the game. It was obvious Ryn had another commitment, being a model and all that.

”Work?” he asked, trying to hide his disappointment.

”Yeah,” Ryn replied before Mei Li could say 'no'.

Mei Li's brows lifted almost to her hairline when she heard it. Why would Ryn lie to Harry? Had something happened between both of them that she did not aware of? Oh no... would this affect their work?

”Oh... Then... I'll see you later,” he said slowly. He leaned forward toward Mei Li, ”Bye, Mei Li.”

”Bye,” Mei Li waved back even though she was still confused.

”What was that about?” she asked once Ryn got into the car and closed the window.

”Nothing,” Ryn replied, buckling the seat belt around her.

”Are you sure?” the manager was quite worried because she knew how stubborn Ryn could be.

”Hmm...” Ryn threw her sight out of the window, at Harry who was walking back to his friends with his head lowered down. Somehow she could feel he was sad with the way she treated him but just a moment ago her guts told her not to get too close to him.

Enough was enough.

Besides, after today, they might not see each other again on the campus. Even when working, it would be hard for them to meet each other. Her work demanded her mostly abroad while he was still learning how to be a model.

Maybe the only time they would have the chance to meet would be during the show with Mika's label. That's all.

Other than that? No. Everything would go back to what it used to be. Everything should be okay.

She closed her eyes and told herself a few more times. Her existence in his life was temporary. It was even an accidental friendship. She was older than him for a few months, and it brought a bit of uneasiness in her when he and the others kept thinking she was the junior. Maybe it was her face but she did not want to get involved in this childish war again.

Mei Li, probably could feel the uneasiness in her, kept quiet along the way. She let Ryn with her own thought, too worried to make her 'client' angrier.

”Thank you,” Ryn said once they reached in front of her apartment. She leaned forward to look at her manager who was still in the car. ”Don't worry. Nothing is wrong.”

Mei Li chewed her lips worriedly, ”Are you sure everything is alright?”
