402 Visiting Harry 5 (2/2)
”You will come tomorrow, right? Harry will be happy to see you. And I will ask the cook to prepare delicious food for you,” Mrs. Si suggested, not wasting a moment to bring back Ryn even though Ryn still hasn't left the place”I'm sorry, Madam Si, but Ryn has a full schedule tomorrow,” Mei Li braved herself and spoke. She knew Ryn was uncomfortable to lie and it was her job to cover Ryn.
Besides, Ryn did have work to do. She had to film the commercial for the pudding brand she signed today. But it would not take the whole day, just several hours. After that, Ryn was free. But Mei Li knew this model under her care would rather be sleeping than to come here to face this weird Madam.
”Oh I see... well... what about the day after tomorrow?” Mrs. Si did not give up and suggested another day. Ryn looked at Mei Li desperately. Please, Mei Li, say something.
”Actually, Madam, Ryn's schedule is quite full. We cannot say for certain when she would be free. In fact, if I am not mistaken, Ryn needs to go outside the town for another photo shoot and then...”Mei Li looked at Ryn for help. She already led the way so Ryn should grab the chance and exaggerate her schedule. As her son is also a model, she should understand how busy a model is, especially for someone like Ryn who was chased after so many brands.
Besides, Ryn does deserve an off day to recuperate from her busy schedule.
Mrs. Si gave her puppy-eyed look at Ryn, hoping the younger woman's heart would melt and promise to come here tomorrow. She did not mind if Ryn came late. Like she mentioned earlier, her house is always opened for Ryn.
”I'm sorry, Aunty. I really am busy lately with my work. I promise you I will come once I have time,” Ryn said and added when she remembered, ”I will come with Mei Li.”
Mei Li's eyes widened when her name was mentioned by Ryn. But she quickly nodded with a reassuring smile when the elder woman turned to look at her with a cock of an eyebrow. Was she unwelcomed in the house?
Awkward... so awkward...
”Ryn, we should go now or it will be late,” Mei Li said slowly, carefully. She was worried that Mrs. Si would change her mind and refused to let them go. She got into the car without wasting another second and started the engine. Surely Mrs. Si would understand the hint and let Ryn go.
Unwillingly, Mrs. Si released her hands and watched sadly as Ryn got into the car and pulled the safety belt. She was sad to see how eager Ryn was to leave her. Why would dear Ryn want to leave this place when everything she wanted and needed could be found here. If there wasn't, she would order the butler to buy it for Ryn. Anything for Ryn.
”Goodbye, Catherine. Have a safe journey,” Mrs. Si waved her hand as she watched the car leaving. Once she could no longer see the car, she turned and stormed into the mansion. Her sister-in-law should not behave like just now. She should be more welcoming.
what if Angela's attitude made Ryn thought they were not welcoming her here? It would thwart her plan of making Ryn her daughter-in-law.
”That was awkward...”Mei Li choked out once she was sure they have left the Si's territory.
”Tell me about it,” Ryn sighed heavily.
They turned to look at each other and sighed heavily. Today was a long day even though it hadn't ended yet.
