279 Keeping their relationship a secre (1/2)

She was just his girlfriend, not his maid.

Then, she went to change into her usual jeans and top for the dinner date with Jeremy. She did not bring her backpack this time. She only brought her small wallet with some cashes and the ID card. Her phone was fully charged.

She put on a sweater and put a cap she chose randomly to the side. Now she only needed to wait for Jeremy to come pick her up. She sighed and closed her eyes. She was hungry but at the same time still tired.

Absentmindedly she wondered whether Jeremy would really come to bring her out for dinner. After days spending with her at her parents' place, surely he had a lot to catch up with his work. And she did not want to disturb him when he was busy. She was okay of spending the time alone.

She was used of being alone anyway.

It took her seconds to fall asleep. She did not even plan to catch a few winks, just thinking about waiting for her date to arrive.

She woke up when her phone rang. She thought it was Jeremy, seeing it was almost 6.00 pm, however, her thought was wrong. It was from Harry.

”Hello, Ryn.”

”Hello, Harry. What's up?” her voice was a bit hoarse from the sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned a bit. Then, she stood up and walked to the kitchen.

”About tomorrow, are you going to the office, right?”

”Hmm…” using a hand, she took a glass and poured water into it. Then, she sipped it slowly. She simply ran water to wash it and then went back to the living room. She waited for his next words but it seemed like he was gathering his words in his mind. She did not mind, though. Her mind was still fuzzy from the sleep and she needed a little bit of time to truly wake up.

”Why don't we have breakfast together? I'll pick you up at your place, and then we just go at the shop nearby, then we can go to the office together,” he suggested. His heart was pounding hard, nervous to hear her answer. Please say yes. Please say yes.

”Breakfast?” she frowned. She glanced at her kitchen. There was nothing except cereal and eggs left.

Nothing to make for breakfast. She had to go out early anyway to get her breakfast on the way to the agency. And by going with Harry, she could save some money for her meal.

”Yeah, sure. What time do you want to pick me up?” she asked back, deciding to let him treat her. Why should she be a fool to reject it?

Harry smiled widely. He quickly checked the time, measuring the time needed to reach to her place and then to a shop.

”What time do you need to go to the agency?”

”Cool. I'll be waiting,” he agreed immediately. As long as she agreed to meet him, to spend time with him, he would agree with anything.

They said their goodbyes and ended the conversation. She quickly contacted Mei Li.

”Hello.”

”Mei Li, hi. Long time no hears,” Ryn grinned cheekily.

”Ryn~” Mei Li groaned.

”Sorry for missing in days,” Ryn was not truly apologetic but she knew how hard Mei Li had to cover for her 'short holiday'.

”Hmm… treat me coffee,” Mei Li mumbled.

”Fine. Tomorrow I'll treat you for lunch?” Ryn forgot that she was supposed to have lunch with Harry. But then again, they were going to have breakfast together so it was okay.

”Remember. I won't let you go if you go back from your words,” her manager warned.

”Yes… yes… so I'll see you around 10.00 am tomorrow?” she asked.

”Yes. I need to show you some jobs. Also, I have updated your latest schedule so do check,” Mei Li reminded.

”Hmm… about the one this Friday, have you bought the ticket and book the hotel?” Ryn asked. She remembered she had to go abroad again for another week of work.

”Yes. I've arranged everything,” Mei Li nodded even though she was talking in the phone.

”Cool. So I'll see you tomorrow?”

”Okay. Bye.”

”Bye.”

Ryn just ended the call with Mei Li when her phone rang again. She smiled when she saw a familiar name.
