354 Are we not fated to be together? (1/2)
”I just…” he paused. He did not know how to explain his worry. In order to be with her again, he did everything he could. Now, he was scared she would dump him after spending the night together.
”Why? Are we really not compatible together? Are we not fated to be together? You said you love me but… but…” she cried. ”I'm tired. I don't like this kind of relationship with you hurting me.”
His face turned pale. Were they going to break up because of this?
”Ryn, my love, please,” he begged.
”I don't know. I really don't know. I'm tired. I can't think anymore,” she cried.
He quickly hugged her. ”No. Don't break up with me. I love you so much. I can't lose you again.”
”But I'm tired,” she choked out, crying. She was tired of all of these. She dreamed of having a loving stress-free relationship. A relationship is full of love and trust. But now…
”I won't hurt you again. I promise. No, I swear. I won't make you sad again.”
”I can't take it anymore…” she cried, muffled against his chest. She was exhausted from this kind of relationship. She thought they could start anew but…
”I'm sorry. I really am sorry.”
He kept whispering to her, begging for her forgiveness. He even kissed the top of her head a few times to coax her after she refused to kiss his lips.
They ended up on the sofa, lying down. He kept her in his arms, whispering his apology. He would not give up. He knew her heart has softened a bit toward him and he would not let her building an impenetrable wall around her heart against him ever again.
He would not lose her again.

Mei Li yawned as she looked for a place to sit. She slept late last night. She had supper after got back home. It took her almost half an hour to wake up after the alarm went off. She checked the time and nodded. She was just right on time.
She took out her phone and sent a message to announce her arrival. She waited. And waited. But there was no reply nor confirmation of Ryn reading the message. After five minutes, Mei Li frowned. She checked her phone but there was no reaction from Ryn's side.
This time, instead of sending another message, she called her.
But there was no answer.
Mei Li did not give up. She thought Ryn overslept this time. They after all finished late last night and it was expected for Ryn to be exhausted this morning. She did have quite a hectic schedule these past few months.
She called again. And again. And again.
But still, all her calls went unanswered.
She frowned. Had something happened upstairs?
She waited for the elevator's door to open, her feet tapping on the floor impatiently. She did not want to use the stairs because Ryn might be using the elevator when she noticed the time. Besides, taking the elevator did not make her tired. Today would be a busy day so she should save her energy as much as she could.

Jeremy was still coaxing Ryn when his phone rang. He frowned and sat up. In order not to disturb Ryn, he went to the room to answer the call.
”What is it?”
”Boss, sorry to interrupt. I've received a call from the headquarters, requiring you to attend the meeting with the human resources department regarding the new group of workers intake,” Jacob informed rather worriedly. He was scared his boss would get angry with him for interrupting him. And he definitely did not want to be on his boss's bad side so early in the morning.
Jeremy sighed. He looked toward the door. It seemed like he could not spend the time with Ryn today. And Ryn was throwing tantrum too toward him. ”Alright.”
