281 Having breakfast with Harry 2 (1/2)

Ryn rubbed her nape sheepishly. She could feel the awkwardness in the car.

”Anyway, it's okay, Harry. Mei Li will send me to the driving agency. She already knew about it,” Ryn cleared her throat and explained.

She looked around, trying to find a new topic. She desperately needed to change the topic that was not about her. Although Harry was her friend now, the two women behind were no longer in her group. She was uncomfortable talking about her private life with outsiders.

”Where are we going for breakfast? I thought we're going somewhere close by,” she asked Harry.

”There is a new restaurant opens so I thought we can check it out,” Harry said.

”Oh... you always know where a new restaurant open. Do you know the owner by the way?” Ryn asked.

”Not really,” Harry laughed. Since he knew Ryn's favourite was eating, he always made sure to check if there was a new shop opened so they could check it out themselves. Seeing Ryn enjoying food made him happy.

Ryn glanced at the women behind her. What about them? They were not supposed to go so far from the apartment on their quest for breakfast. Were they supposed to take a taxi home after breakfast?

”Don't worry. I'll send them before we go to the office,” Harry assured Ryn when he saw her glance. He could guess what was in her mind when he saw her biting her lower lip.

”Really? Cool,” Ryn smiled at him and turned to look at the women, ”After breakfast, we'll send you back.”

”Really, Harry? Thank you so much,” Rebecca's friend lit up when she heard it. She looked at him with a big smile before quickly gave him a bashful smile.

Harry smiled awkwardly and glanced at Ryn, wondering if she saw it. However, to his disappointment, she was busy chatting on her phone. Who was it that took her focus from him?

Ryn smiled and replied the message from Jeremy; 'Don't worry. I'm having breakfast with my friends. You don't have to come. You should eat your breakfast. You do have to go to work today.'

She did not have to wait for long for his reply.

'I'm already missing you. What should I do?'

She blushed when she read it. He... Didn't he felt any ashamed when typing that sentence?

'You... so naughty. You keep focussing on your work. I'm with my friends now.'

He sent a kissing emoticon instead.

She looked around when she realized the car has already stopped.

”We're here?”

Harry wanted to open the door for Ryn but she already opened the door and got out of the car. He twitched his lips but did not say anything.

Rebecca and her friend were out of the car too and looked at the shop with eyes widened. It looked small so they did not know how many dishes the shop offered for breakfast. What about the price? Affordable?

”Let's go,” Harry said. With the presence of the other two girls, he had to hold himself from holding her hand. He still had to maintain his cool image and he knew Ryn was uncomfortable being intimate in front of others. He forgot she was not comfortable holding hand too long when it was not needed.

She straightly treated him as a friend and fellow colleague but he thought differently.
