Chapter 205 - The ruined dinner (1/2)

The waiter was still fretting over this. She did not move forward to gather the plates to replace them with the main menu. She just stood there, looking at them with her widened eyes. What should she do now?

Ryn put down the fork and knife she used and gestured for the waiter to come. Then, with a smile, as she already noticed how worried the waiter was when looking at them and felt pity for her uneasiness, Ryn told the waiter to clear the table for the main menu.

”Mika, put down those utensils if you no longer want to eat them,” Ryn told Mika gently, patting the hand that was gripping the knife gently, soothingly.

Slowly, the grip loosened and both the fork and the knife made a cling sound when they dropped onto the plate noisily. Mika ignored the weird look from the other diners. Her fiery eyes lost a bit of its anger and now she looked at her best friend with a silent frustrated look. Their dinner was ruined!

”It's okay,” Ryn coaxed. Then, she looked at Jeremy expectedly.

However, Jeremy just ignored the not so subtle signal. He just reached for his glass of water and drank it slowly, enjoying the fresh liquid running through his throat, washing all the food he just ate. When he put down the empty glass, another waiter came to fill it.

Ryn grumbled under her breath at his stubbornness. She then stood up and walked around the table to hug the still disgruntle Mika.

”Shh... calm down. I am here with you, right? Just ignore that silly man,” Ryn whispered next to Mika's left ear.

Her unexpected action brought a frown on Jeremy's face. He finally put down the glass and looked at the women. He did not like seeing this. It felt like he was an outsider having dinner with a pair of lovers.

Yes, he did not like this at all.

”Catherine, sit down,” he ordered. When Ryn seemed not to hear him or pretended not to hear him, he opened his mouth, ”Ryn, take care of your image. Can't you see people are looking at you?”

Ryn simply hugged Mika tighter from the back. She never stopped murmuring soothing words to make Mika felt better. She did not care what others thought about her. Heck, had she ever care what others think about her before? Unlike him, she did not have any fans who would care whether she had a boyfriend or a girlfriend or whatever. The reason why she was sought after by so many brands because she could be a chameleon when selling their products. She could be anything they wanted and more.
