276 The point of the lawsui (1/2)

Jeremy spent the night hugging her close to him, smiling.

They woke up in each other's arms right before the sun rose. He woke up first but refused to go anywhere. This was a heaven for him.

”Hmm…J?” Ryn mumbled when she woke up and saw him.

”Good morning, sweetheart,” Jeremy leaned to kiss her lips gently.

She blinked her eyes after he pulled back. Then, she turned around, thinking this was just a dream.

He chuckled. He kissed her bare back gently before stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his face and use the loo. Then, he went downstairs to the kitchen to check what he could make for breakfast.

Not much left so he decided to buy breakfast. He took their phones from the drawer and plugged their phones to the charger. Then, he wrote a note on a sticky pad and pasted it on the mirror at the vanity table. He grabbed one of the caps and went out, heading for the restaurant not far from there.

Even when he returned with their breakfast, Ryn was still deep in her sleep. He chuckled and stroked her head gently. Then, he went back downstairs to prepare breakfast.

He finally switched on his phone after he was done arranging their breakfast on the dining table. He also switched on her phone while waiting for his phone to be fully on.

He was whistling happily, choosing how to wake her up from several ideas. To kiss her or to caress her back? Or maybe by luring her with a cup of coffee. But the happy planning stopped when his phone kept making sound after sound.

He quickly checked one of the messages. Then another. And then another. His frown deepened when he realized the ten messages he read after was from the company. He quickly called Mika.

”Hello? Jeremy? Where are you?” Mika asked quickly.

”I've just read the messages. What's the situation now?” Jeremy asked.

”Uncle and Jason are at their company with the lawyer. They are preparing to sue the woman as well as the poster. I'm at the company with the PR team. Please come,” Mika cried. She hadn't slept from last night, busy tackling the problem from the viral video. There were too many comments and even the media had caught hold it.

”Give me fifteen minutes. And call our lawyer,” Jeremy decided. If Uncle Wu thought it was serious until he made use of the lawyer, Jeremy decided that they needed to use one too.

”I'll tell Jacob to call him,” Jeremy told his sister. ”Give me half an hour.”

He rushed upstairs to change into work attire. Then, he leaned to kiss Ryn's cheek gently.

Ryn mumbled something under her breath but she did not open her eyes.

Jeremy smiled when seeing her still deep in her sleep. When he turned around, the smile disappeared from his face. He looked serious.

It took him almost twenty minutes to arrive. He parked the car, taking note that he needed to refuel after this.

”Sir,” Jacob was actually waiting for Jeremy at the door. He quickly approached his boss when he saw Jeremy had reached the office.

”Brief me,” Jeremy said as he walked into the meeting room. Mika told him earlier that they were camping in the meeting room since last night.

”Boss,” everyone greeted him, standing up when they saw him entering the room.

”The Wu is preparing for a press conference. Are we going to do it separately or with them?” Mika asked, looking at her brother.

”The same but the lawsuit from us, work on it,” Jeremy told the man wearing spectacles.

”Yes, sir,” the lawyer replied. He was busy typing in the computer.

”Mika, call Jason. I want to talk with him,” Jeremy ordered his sister.

Yawning, Mika took out her phone and speed-dialled her fiancée. She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Not only her looking tired and sleepy, everyone else except for the lawyer and Jeremy looked exhausted. They had been staying awake since last night, trying to control the situation but it went from bad to worst. No wonder Mr Wu decided to call his lawyer when he learned about the video.

Jeremy looked at them before he took out his phone. He started to tap on the screen quickly.

”You do know the family is broke,” Mika said suddenly.

Everyone looked at her, even the lawyer.

”This is not about money. We're suing to show others not to take advantage of us,” Jeremy said. His eyes were still on his phone.

”Jason on the line,” Mika said, handing her phone to Jeremy.

Jeremy tapped a button to settle everything before he took her phone.

”Hello, Jason,” Jeremy greeted.

”Hello, Jeremy. I assumed you've watched the video?”
