Chapter 202 - Three was a crowd (1/2)

Both Ryn and Mika were still exchanging their thoughts about the filming of the advertisement when someone honked at them, rather loudly.

Mika frowned in displeasure. Who was this rude person who was disturbing their conversation?

Ryn turned around to see who was the driver who made so much noise. Mika did not even slower her driving even though they were deep in their conversation. Mika did not disturb the traffic nor she drove recklessly. This time around, because of her reminder, Mika did drive slower than her usual devil speed but still normal enough just like other normal drivers who follow the traffic law. Well, almost normal. Just a kilometre or two and Mika would drive over the speed limit.

Well, at least this devil driver did not break any law this time.

So, why was the driver behind them kept honking at them?

”Ryn, check my phone, please. It's ringing,” Mika said, a bit irritated with the sound from behind and from her bag.

Ryn cancelled her effort to check the car clearly although she felt like it was a familiar car and she had seen it before. She reached for Mika's phone and saw Jeremy's name on the display. She tried to hide her groan and mumbled, ”It's Jeremy.”

”Huh? Big brother? Why would he call me?” Mika frowned. She looked through the rear mirror and saw the driver played with the hazard light now. It seemed like the driver signalled her to stop the car.

”Do you want to answer it?” Ryn asked, and wished for Mika to say no, to ignore it. She did not want to hear his voice yet. She was not ready... not yet.

”Just answer it. What does he want?” Mika grumbled. She ignored the crazy driver behind and continued on driving. She focussed fully on her driving while cursing the driver behind her car. So crazy!

With a heavy sigh, Ryn slid her finger on the ringing phone and tapped the speaker symbol to make the caller on speaker.

”What is it, big brother?” Mika grumbled when Ryn signalled her about the speaker.

”Stop the car now. Didn't you see me?” he asked and hit the hazard light a few times in a row.

Mika and Ryn's jaw dropped when they heard him. What did he mean by that?

”Wait... what?” Mika choked out after a few minutes silent.

”Mika, can't you see I'm behind you?” Jeremy was getting impatient at his silly little sister. How focussed was she on driving when she could not even see her big brother driving behind her?

”You... you are behind us?” Mika choked out.

Ryn was still speechless. She did not know how to react at this situation.

When... why... how...?

”Of course, stupid,” Jeremy muttered.

”Who are you calling stupid, you idiot,” Mika roared at the thought of her own big brother calling her stupid.

Ryn now was speechless at the sight of her best friend arguing with her big brother. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped yet again. When would they stop this childish and stupid argument?
