243 Crashing the party 1 (1/2)

Jeremy looked at the man in front of him with a frown.

”I thought everything is settled?”

”Well, my mother doesn't agree with our plan,” Jason sighed heavily. His shoulders slumped down.

”Why did you tell your parents? Just do it,” Jeremy groaned. How could Jason be so naïve to tell everything to his parents? He should just do the plan accordingly and let his parents realize how pointless it was to help that family when all they wanted was to take advantage of their guilt.

”I slipped up. So, what now?” Jason gulped his coffee to calm down. He was angry at the family and at himself. How could he be so stupid to tell his mother about their plan? He should just keep quiet when she asked him what he planned to do for the week.

”What's up with you and Mika? I heard Mika said you didn't contact her for days?” Jeremy changed the topic. He was sick listening to Mika wailing about her cold-hearted fiancé and even wanted to break the engagement if Jason no longer loved her. He had to spend time and energy to tell Mika to be patient and wait. He did not explain the problem in Jason's family right now. He did not want his little sister to get involved in this problem. And he preferred for Jason to explain to Mika everything if he wanted to.

”I don't know. I feel guilty at Mika when I have to accompany those siblings to the party. I actually had plan but…”

”With Mika? You do know she's going to Switzerland for the filming?” Jeremy was puzzled with these two lovers. They usually were more in sync but now…

”I know. I thought she will go in two more days, not tomorrow. But right now…”

”She's angry at you and might continue staying there with Ryn,” Jeremy finished Jason's incomplete sentence.

”Hmm… It's all my fault. I didn't want her to know about those siblings. I'm worried they will go to her and take advantage of her. She's so innocent and sweet. She will fall to their scheme,” Jason rubbed his head in frustration.

”Do you think it's easy to fool that silly girl?”

”She's my silly girl,” Jason could not stop from pointing it out with a warning look at Jeremy. He hated it when people said Mika silly. Mika was the most beautiful, clever, bright girl in his eyes. No one could say otherwise. Not even her own brother.

Jeremy scoffed. These two were only engaged but Jason already treated Mika as if she was his wife.

”She won't fall for their tricks but I don't want to put her into their game. She's innocent.”

Jeremy reached for his own coffee and sipped it slowly. He knew how frustrated Jason was feeling right now but he too had no idea how to help. If only…

”When is the party again?” Jeremy asked after pausing for several minutes.

”Why don't Mika and I crash the party?” Jeremy suggested rather absent-mindedly.

”And to do what?” Jason looked at him in puzzled. ”But Mika has a flight to catch tomorrow. She might disagree to come.”

Jeremy paused. Then, his eyes shone brightly. He had a brilliant idea about this. But in order for Jason not to jeopardise the plan again. ”You just give me time and location. I'll bring Mika along.”

”Are you sure about this? Will Mika agree?”

”Don't worry. Trust me.”
