229 Dont you have to go to work? (1/2)

It took Ryn around fifteen minutes to finish every single steak without a word in between.

The bowl of oat which was Mika's breakfast was long safe in her happy stomach.

Mika tried to be patience. She could only receive Ryn's full attention once Ryn was done with her breakfast.

She should learn her lesson and never try to 'steal' Ryn from her beloved steaks. She would lose completely.

”Why are you looking at me like that?” Ryn asked as she reached for her cup of coffee and sipped it happily. The plate was clean of any trace of streaks. Both plates.

”Can I finally have your attention, Ryn?” Mika asked in a soft voice.

”Hmm... what is it?” Instead of looking at Mika, Ryn checked on the time. She was after all having jobs today and needed to prepare herself before Mei Li came to pick her up. She needed to make sure she still has time.

”Ryn~” Mika whined when again she was being ignored by Ryn. She did not understand why it seemed so hard for Ryn to even look at her without being distracted by something else today.

What was wrong with Ryn today?

”Okay... okay... we still have time. So, what is it you want to talk about?” Ryn crossed her arms and leaned back against the chair, looking at her best friend in bemused. Why was her best friend so cute this morning? She was acting so spoiled. It was fun in a way to tease her. Of course, when eating her breakfast, Ryn was serious because she was starving to the point she could feel her stomach doing a somersault.

”What do you think about my suggestion?” Mika asked.

”What suggestion?” Ryn asked in a puzzle.

”You really don't pay attention to what I said before, do you?” Mika cried when Ryn gave her a puzzled look.

”Are you sure you want to throw tantrum right now?”

Mika pursed her lips sulkily. SHe did not want to be kicked out by Ryn. Even though Ryn was smiling at her right not but who could guess what Ryn would do next?

”Calm yourself before we start talking,” Ryn said as she gathered the dishes and walked to the kitchen.

Mika groaned but did not move at all. She waited for Ryn to do the dishes and returned back with two glasses of milk.

”Where do you get the milk?” Mika asked in surprised. She swore she did not see milk anywhere in the kitchen, not even in the chiller!

”I just remembered I have some in the cabinet,” Ryn shrugged. It was after all the last milk powder she had. Later she had to remember to buy another bag.

Mika sipped it slowly. She waited for her best friend to be ready before she started again.

”So what do you want to talk about?” Because it was still early, Ryn did not need to be rushing to get ready. Even Mika could still reach her office right on time even though they spent half an hour chatting.

”I didn't know I have a grocery problem,” Ryn frowned.

”Ryn~”

”Mika, don't worry about me. You should focus more on your wedding preparation,” Ryn pointed out dryly.
