334 Wanting Ryn to join as well (1/2)

He put on his red shirt and jeans. Then, he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror.

Why doesn't he invite Ryn along to the celebration?

Without thinking much further, he picked up his phone and speed-dialled Ryn. He did not have to wait for long when she answered the call.

”Hello, Ryn. This is Harry,” he introduced himself even though she could see his name on the screen before she answered the call.

”Hey, Harry,” her voice was a bit muffled but he did not think much about it. He smiled widely hearing her sweet voice.

”Are you busy? Am I interrupting you or something?” he asked worriedly.

”No. I am not that busy,” she actually glanced at Jeremy who was giving her a questioning look.

”Ah… like this. Tonight, my friends and I want to celebrate the end of the exam and… why don't you join us?” he asked with his heart pounded hard. Would she accept it? Would she say yes?

”To… tonight?” she choked out, glancing at Jeremy. He gave her a frown but did not ask much.

”Yes. At the Boom. If you don't know where I can pick you up at your place. We can go together,” he said quickly.

”Err…” Ryn looked at Jeremy, wondering whether she should accept the invitation. Harry was after all her junior in the modelling world and she might have the chance to help him socialize with others. But then again, she knew he has no problem mingling with others. From what she sees so far, he is quite a friendly guy even when he is in a new environment.

He would not have a problem in term of handling people.

”Do join us,” he said, trying to make her agree. Why didn't she say yes yet? Was it so hard to say yes? He did not understand at all. They were going to celebrate the end of the exam. Shouldn't she be excited that the exam has ended?

”Actually… Harry…” she started to speak but paused again. She could hear how excited he was and felt unhappy to say no. He even thought of her when he could simply go with his friends. It was clear how he cherished their friendship, even want to include her into his group of friends.

What to do? What to do?

Unconsciously, she reached for Jeremy's hand and grasped it. She did not realize this simple gesture actually showed Jeremy how much she opened up herself to him, to finally accept him and depend on him to give her courage and support. He smiled and lifted her hand up to kiss it gently. He believed in her and would support her, just like what a good boyfriend should do.

”I'm sorry,” she finally said that and closed her eyes. She felt sorry because Harry sounded so excited when speaking and she did not want to put him down.

”What? Why?” the smile disappeared from his face. Did she say no? But why?
