261 Who can help replacing her in the show? 2 (1/2)

It was obvious he was in her mind and heart all this time. And if only she could just stop being so stubborn and just accepted him.

\”Hello, Ryn?\”

She did not answer. He grinned. She must be nervous calling him all of a sudden.

\”What's wrong, Ryn? Do you miss me like I miss you?\” he asked with twinkled in his eyes.

\”Err…\” Ryn was speechless when he asked her suddenly with that teasing voice of his.

\”I love you and I miss you,\” he turned his chair so he would be facing the huge window of his office. He was in the middle of checking a tall collection of files from both companies. He was actually gathering his temper for some files but this call actually made the anger away.

Ryn was a cooling medicine to his temper.

\”Jeremy… stop…\” she choked out. Her heart was pounding hard just listening to his sexy voice. How could he make her feel this way just by talking in the phone?

\”Hmm…?\”

\”Actually, I'm calling because I need your help,\” she said slowly, praying hard he would not stop her before she could ask him.

\”What do you need, my love? You know I'll do anything for you. We can even get married now if you want,\” he asked huskily. The smile never left his face.

\”Jeremy, please…\”

\”Hmm…?\”

\”I need your help.\”

\”What do you need?\”

\”Dad…\” she paused. \”I need to go to my parents. Dad… he is diagnosed with high blood pressure and I need… I need to see him…\”

\”How is uncle now?\” there was no more tease or huskiness in his voice. He sounded calm and serious.

\”Mom said he's okay but… I don't know. I'm not sure…\”

\”I'll come pick you up and send you home,\” Jeremy decided. He ignored the files on his table and stood up.

\”No… no… no… that's not the reason why I call you. I need you to help me going to a show tomorrow's night. The 'A Day In My Busy Life' show…\” Ryn said hurriedly.

\”A show?\” Jeremy frowned. It took him several seconds to remember the show Ryn participated weeks ago. It seemed like it was finally ready to be shown in the television.

\”Yes. I couldn't go in the last minute so I hope you can help to replace me tomorrow,\” she asked… no, pleaded him to agree.

\”Why don't you just postpone it?\” he asked, unwilling to do it. He could do anything for her but to do that, he was a bit… well, if she asked him to accompany her, maybe he would be more than willing to do so but… watching, commenting and doing it without her. No. He did not want to.

\”It's a sudden decision. I'm worried about my dad and I don't think I can focus during the shooting. Please, help me,\” Ryn begged.

However, just like Ryn, his call was not answered.

Jeremy frowned but did not try again. He simply called Jason, having the feeling his little sister was with her own fiancée. And there was a possibility for her to be asleep in Jason's arms. And compared to Mika who was tired from the journey, Jason would answer the call if the phone rang.

And he was right. Jason answered at the second ring.

\”Is Mika with you?\” Jeremy asked without any greeting.

\”Erm…\”

\”Get her to the phone. I need to speak with her now,\” Jeremy did not even care how awkward Jason was.

\”But…. She's deep in her sleep. I don't want to disturb her sleep,\” Jason said slowly. He knew he had to speak carefully so that Jeremy did not get angry at him.

\”Just wake her up. I need to speak with her now. It's important,\” Jeremy said firmly. Who cared about his sister's feeling? Ryn's feeling was more important.

\”But...\”

\”Jason...\”

Jason gulped.

\”Wake her up now. I need to talk with her,\” Jeremy said firmly.

He could hear mumble from the other side and ignored it. He knew Jason was waking Mika up when he could hear a feminine voice from that side. He glanced at his clock and frowned. Time was getting away and Ryn was waiting for his decision.
