270 Can we consider this our date? (1/2)

Now they were on their third break because he said he was tired of driving and needed to stretch his long legs. Being someone who could not drive, even though Ryn was a bit frustrated, she had to allow him to do what he wanted. Silently she tried to remember when her driving class started. Oh yes, tomorrow. Her eyes glistered at the thought of finally able to drive.

He grinned when he saw her face. He shut off the engine and got out of the car. Then, he stretched his arms with a loud groan. He walked around the car to open the door for her.

”Why don't we have some rest at that café?” he suggested, pointing at a row of shops not far from them.

She mumbled her agreement, too lazy to argue. His car, his rule.

Jeremy grinned and quickly took her hand in his. It was as if he wanted everyone to know they were now a couple.

As they were walking toward the café he chose, her phone rang. She let her hand go and reached for her phone. The screen showed Harry's name.

”Excuse me,” she murmured and tried to make a space between both of them.

Jeremy's face changed. He saw the name and wondered what the kid wanted from his woman. He quickly followed suit, wanting to hear what the boy wanted.

”Hello.”

”Hey, Ryn. Are you busy?”

”Not really. Why?” Ryn asked. She tried to avoid Jeremy but this annoying man kept trying to hear her conversation with Harry.

”Ah…. It's like this. I have something to give you. Well, Angel has something to give you. So I'm thinking if we meet tomorrow if it's okay for you?” Harry almost stumbled with his words. He even winced when he realized how desperate he sounded just now.

”Something for me?” Ryn was puzzled. What could it be? It had been weeks since last she saw the eccentric aunt of Harry and could not figure out the thing Angel wanted to give her. All she remembered from Angel was her request to make a chocolate moist cake every single time they met. Had Angel learned to bake and wanted to gift her a chocolate moist cake as a thank you? Naa… it could not be. Angel hated cooking. And baking? She did not even know how to switch on the oven! All she cared about was her painting. Painting was Angel's life.

”Yeah. But without that, I do want to meet you. I want to treat you,” Harry said quickly.

”Do you have something to tell me, Harry?” Ryn frowned. She felt something suspicious with the way Harry talking. It was as if the man was nervous. But why?

”Hmm… the day after tomorrow? I do have to go to the agency to update my schedule,” Ryn suggested.

”Why don't I pick you up and we can go together to the agency?” Harry suggested. The smile was so bright, if his mother and sister saw it, they would know he was talking with the owner of his heart.

”Okay. Remind me again tomorrow so I won't forget. Bye.”

”Bye.” Harry did not even mind with her wanting to end their conversation. He was happy to have a date with her.

Now all he could do was to plan the date carefully.

Ryn kept the phone into the pocket and pushed Jeremy's face away. This annoying man almost glued his head to her phone, trying hard to eavesdrop their conversation. She glared.

”What do you think you're doing?” she questioned.

”Are you going to meet him?” he asked. He tried not to control her much, knowing how she hated it. But his jealousy clouded his mind and he could not control himself. She already has him. Why would she want to meet another man?

”He has something to give to me,” Ryn replied. She did not care about Harry's feeling. In her mind was full of what the item Angel wanted to give her. It could not be a cake, right?

”But why do you have to have a meal with him?” Jeremy heard clearly about the meal date and he was jealous. So jealous it felt like vinegar filling his whole body and even flowing out.

Ryn sighed. She had no idea why Jeremy being jealous of Harry. They were just friends and colleagues! Why would Jeremy be jealous?
