Chapter 411 - Too hungry to care (2/2)

So many things to buy and they cannot waste any more moment chit-chatting.

Jeremy shook his head and quickly followed behind. He hurriedly went to the car to start the engine and brought it closer so the women did not have to walk too far to get into the vehicle.

”So, where are we going next?” he asked once he made sure everyone in the car comfortably.

”To the organic store,” Mrs. Long said. She checked her list and made a tick beside the jewelry. Oh, hopefully, the in-laws would like them.

”Which one?” Jeremy asked without thinking. He sometimes followed Ryn's parents to buy grocery so he knew some of their favorites.

”The one the in-laws like to go, of course. Do I have to explain everything to you?” the Dowager muttered. She glared at her useless grandson. Does everything have to be spoken out loud for him to understand?

Jeremy pursed his lips but he was not hurt by her words. He simply changed the gear and drove the car away. The shop Ryn's parents always frequent was quite far from here so it would take about thirty minutes for them to arrive. However, before they reached the first traffic light, his mother made a sound.

”What's wrong, mother?” he asked.

”Why don't we go here? It offers high-class organic ingredients,” Mrs. Long suggested as she showed what she found in her mobile phone.

Jeremy stopped at the traffic light and typed the address. He just followed whatever was told by his mother and grandmother. He was just a driver today. He did not need to think of anything else.

Once the traffic light turned green, he followed the instruction by the GPS. Of course, he kept glancing at his phone, hoping for his Ryn to call or send him a message. His heart was pounded hard, waiting nervously for her. Would she contact him today?

*~*~*~*

Ryn blew out a relieved sigh when the director cried 'cut' and 'it's a wrap'. She was hungry. The pudding could not hold her hunger, all thanks to her one-take 'hobby'. Oh... she should learn to take bad take in order to steal eating the food. Unconsciously, she rubbed her growling stomach.

”Catherine, you are perfect,” the director said with a huge smile. He stepped forward to hug Ryn tightly.

”Thank you for your teaching, Mr. Xu,” Ryn said with a smile. But her mind was screaming for her to leave this place quickly so she could find food. She desperately needed food right now.

”You don't have to thank me. You've done such a great job. I can assure you it's going to be the best of the year,” Mr. Xu, the director exclaimed before his attention was stolen by the representative of the pudding. He excused himself from Ryn and went to the man, ”Don't you agree with me?”

Ryn went back to the small room to change her clothes. She also said goodbye to everyone before joined Mei Li who was discussing with the director and the brand's representative. In her hand, she was holding a basket full of the pudding of various flavors.

”Are you done?” Mei Li asked.

”Hmm...” Ryn nodded her head and smiled at everyone.

Mei Li again thanked everyone and said goodbye. Then, she and Ryn walked to the door, one with a happy smile while another with a relieved smile. Another job well done.

”So, can we eat now?” Ryn asked once they got into the car. She did not care that her face was still full of make-up. Just now she only changed her clothes but left the make-up on her face untouched. She was too hungry to care. Besides, the theme for today's make-up was natural so it did not look out of place if she went public.

”Yes, yes. We will go to eat now,” Mei Li said with a sigh. She knew how long Ryn had to endure her hunger but never showed it in front of everyone. No one could guess the model was hungry. Only she knew how Ryn could not wait for this to end so they could go to the nearest restaurant to eat.

Ryn nodded seriously. She did throw some sad and hopeful looks at her manager in between shootings. Luckily her manager understood her stares. She did not have to talk much.

Mei Li shook her head in bemused. She quickly set the GPS system to Ryn's favorite steak restaurant. Only by eating steak could make Ryn happy now.

Ryn took out her phone and stared at the new messages she received from Jeremy. She did not click on any of them but just seeing how many messages he sent, made her heart sad. She closed her eyes and tried not to let any tear roll down.

Oh, Jeremy, why wouldn't you give us some time?
