Chapter 433 - The driving test (finally) (3) (1/2)
Ryn came out of the restaurant, rubbing her stomach happily. The bulge was so small it was not noticeable but she knew she ate a lot. She smiled happily as she walked to the car. Now, she was ready to face the world.
Mei Li went to her side and started the engine. Then, she pulled the safety belt and looked at the happy Ryn. She smiled as well.
”Are you ready now?” she asked, talking about the driving test.
”Hmm...” Ryn nodded. She was more than ready. In fact, she could not wait for this to finish. She did not want to think and fret over the test ever again.
”Stay calm and drive slowly,” Mei Li reminded as she drove the car toward the driving center.
”Hmm...” Ryn nodded. However, her attention switched to her ringing phone. She remembered that she was on the camera (after she finally full) and swiped the screen to make the call on speaker. ”Hello, Mika.”
”Hello, Ryn. Where are you?” Mika asked cheerfully.
”I'm on my way to the center. Why?” Ryn frowned. Somehow she could guess what it was but she wanted Mika to confirm it herself.
”I'm already at the center. I brought some food too,” Mika said proudly.
”Ah... I just have my breakfast with Mei Li,” Ryn glanced at her manager. She knew Mei Li could hear their conversation.
”You can eat after the test,” Mika said without any hurt in her voice. She knew Ryn would eat before she came to take her test. It would be weird if Ryn did not eat first. ”How much longer before you come?”
Ryn looked at Mei Li questioningly.
”Half an hour more with this traffic,” Mei Li replied. The traffic was quite heavy with some were still on the way to go to work. Luckily, they had escaped the worst of the time. If they were earlier, Mei Li could not guess how long it would take for them to arrive.
And both Mei Li and Ryn would not want to be late for the test.
”We'll be waiting for you. Call me once you've arrived. Bye, Ryn.” Mika did not wait for Ryn to reply. She immediately ended the call, leaving Ryn to stare blankly at the phone.
”We?” Mei Li asked but her eyes were still on the road.
”Maybe him?” Ryn shrugged. She did not think it was important to know who 'we' that Mika was talking about. As long as Mika was there, it was enough to support her. In fact, she did not expect Mika to come to support her for the driving test.
”Not the dowager, you think?” Mei Li gulped. She knew the Long family all loved Ryn and accepted her as their own. It would not be weird for the Dowager to come holding her cane. Mei Li was scared to face the elder woman. She heard a lot about the outspoken woman who was not afraid to speak what she had in mind and even expect others, especially her family members to follow her order.
”Impossible,” Ryn shook her head. She did not think the Dowager would come for her driving test. Who was she to be so important for the true leader of the family to come to support her during the driving test? She was a nobody!
”We will see once we've arrived,” Mei Li mumbled. She did not want to continue this conversation as it brought a shudder to her. It did not affect Ryn at all. This model must be thinking about sleeping again.
She would either think of food or sleep. Those two were her favorite thing and activity to do.
Both did not speak anymore. They were deep in their own thought.
Before long, they arrived at the center. Mei Li found an empty lot to park and she quickly shut off the engine. However, instead of getting out of the car, she turned to look at Ryn who seemed to freeze.
Mei Li took her hands. They were cold.
It seemed like, behind the cool and nonchalant look from Ryn, she was nervous for the test. This girl...
”Don't worry. You can do this. Remember, not to panic and not to get stressed. Stay calm.”
