300 What was wrong with this man? Had he gone mad? (1/2)

And this will also send a warning to other companies that he would not let himself taken as a tool for their own greed.

He was still staring at these people when his phone suddenly made a sound. With his eyes still on them, he reached for his phone and finally looked at it with a frown. Who dared to disturb him?

He was prepared to scold whoever dared enough to disturb him when he saw the name he had been missing for days.

Ryn. His Ryn finally remembered his existence!

Tony who was shaking with Jacob accidentally saw Jeremy's face. His eyes widened seeing the slight curl of a smile on his boss's handsome face. What... what was that? Was he dreaming? Without thinking, he used his hands to rub his eyes.

Rub. Rub. Rub.

He looked again and saw the familiar scowl. He must be dreaming just now, he decided. It was impossible for his boss to be having a happy thought when the project leaned toward ruination.

It was clear as the blue sky how angry the boss was when he arrived at the airport. It would be weird if the boss suddenly smiles... unless he had something sinister he planned for the construction company.

Tony rubbed the chill away. Why was he stuck in this kind of situation? Help, mummy! Please help me! I want to go home!

Jeremy saw the message and read it quickly. He could not stop smiling happily when he saw her missing him too. But, he quickly put on his brooding expression back in order to control the situation. He must persist on being serious. He knew if he smiled, they all would think they could take the chance to get away from the problem. And he would not like that.

Greg was done frightening everyone and he finally smiled in a friendly manner but the smile actually made the others gasped and took a step back. They could not believe that friendly smile. It looked frightening after the warning over warning they received from the smiling lawyer.

”Are you done taking pictures?” Jeremy asked his personal assistant when Jacob finally approached them.

”Yes, boss,” Jacob nodded. He took a lot of pictures for evidence. Of course, the police did take photos for their report. But they needed their own photos in case anything came out.

The three of them returned to the hotel after Jeremy was satisfied with everything Jacob and Greg had done. He also could not stay looking at the unfinished building or he would get angrier at He Dali. Loving a woman is normal but to jeopardize your own career for her was not cool at all. It was stupid.

”Okay.”

”So, for dinner...” Greg trailed off his words, waiting for Jeremy's next word. Would his friend suggest for them to eat outside? He had never come here so surely there would be a signature meal here. He wanted to try one or two. And he was getting hungry now.

Jeremy looked at Jacob. He had no plan to go out. He planned to spend the night sending messages to Ryn. She finally replied to his many messages. It meant she finally remembered her boyfriend.

It was weird honestly seeing her sort of taking him for granted but he tried not to take it personally. Well, 'try' would be the important word here. He imagined a lot for their relationship. He planned a lot for their life and when she did not follow the 'script' was quite frustrating. But hey, he tried to be a good boyfriend and tried to understand her. He tried.

Greg tried again and finally, Jeremy gave him a frown.

”Hey, stop glaring at me. I am here for you so you should cover my meal expenses,” Greg defended himself.

Both Jacob and Tony did not dare to make a sound. Of course, they were hoping for the boss to treat them dinner. However, they were too scared to ask. Please, boss, please treat them dinner. They were hungry after all day long working.

Jeremy looked at the two men in front, then at Greg, He thought about it for a minute. Then, he sighed. He needed to eat too or Ryn would accuse him of neglecting his own health again. He did not want her to be angry at him.

”Fine. Let's go somewhere with good food. Tony, drive,” Jeremy finally decided. It was already 6.45 pm so the time was just right for their dinner.

Tony and Jacob both smiled happily. It seemed like they would have the chance to be treated by the boss. Especially for Tony, this was the first time he met the boss and he was delighted to be the receiver of his generosity.

Jacob was happily thinking of food he could taste later. Was there any coconut drink available here? This was an island so coconut trees should be plenty here, right?

It took them half an hour before Tony stopped in front of a hut. Jeremy, Greg and Jacob frowned but Tony looked so excited.

”Don't tell me this is your home,” Jacob choked out, looking all pale and worried. Was this Tony crazy bringing them here?

”My home? No...” Tony shook her head and turned around to look at Jeremy and Greg. He gulped seeing the black look on Jeremy's face. ”Boss, believe me. Don't judge the book by its cover. The food here is very delicious. I can guarantee, boss. You won't find the same delicious dish in all of this island but this place.”

Jeremy simply cocked an eyebrow. Could he believe this man? Although he looked quite trusty when he brought them to the hotel from the airport and to the police station meeting the officer in charge as well as bringing them to the site, Jeremy still could not believe his words. This hut looked so old and he swore no one was there. Having dinner in the middle of nowhere?

Tony was so flustered he kept stuttering to convince them about this place. Lastly, he pulled Jacob with him toward the hut and called loudly, ”Aunty Sunny.”
