Chapter 435 - Celebrating with a new car (1/2)
The director asked Mei Li to call upon Jason to discuss the change of plan. No one expected the group to go to the showroom to check on the cars. It took everyone by surprise but being experienced in entertainment, the director and his assistant did not take long to decide that they would follow along. More material for the episode!
It did not take them a long time for Jason to give his permission. Why asking him? Mika and her mother were using Jason's car to come to the center. Hence, they needed his permission to set the cameras. Of course, they agreed to let the family watched the episode first after the edit so that no private stuff about both families being leaked out during the show.
The director quickly ordered his men to quickly set the cameras. They even asked Jason to leak the destination beforehand so they could get ready at the place before the group arrived.
Jason took the director's number. However, instead of promising to give them an update himself, he told the director that Mei Li would contact them. It meant that he would first message Mei Li so the crews would get the information from the manager.
The director was unhappy at first. He thought he could get Young Master Wu's private number but it seemed like his plan was discovered by the young man. These people really kept their private life tightly like holding their favorite toy.
So frustrating!
The director gave Mei Li a pleading look before he ordered his team to quickly set up the cameras and prepare to leave. They must arrive before the group!
But they could not leave before the cameraman finished shooting inside. So the director ordered his assistant to wait for the cameraman while he went to the first showroom. Well, more like waiting for the location from Jason before they could start moving.
Having succeeded in coaxing Ryn to check the cars, Mika smiled happily as she wrapped her hand around Ryn's arm. She skipped happily, pulling Ryn along, to the car. She knew Jason already went to get the car for them.
As she expected, her fiance was ready at the entrance with the car. Her brows lifted at the sight of the small cameras but remembering Ryn's message last night, she knew these crews would follow them to the showroom as well. Mika could not help from turning to look at her mother but Mrs. Long just shrugged, able to understand the meaning behind her daughter's look.
They got into the car. Three of them chose to sit at the back. Luckily, the space was big enough to fit them and still be comfortable. Jason just chuckled when he saw his fiancee 'left' him to be close to her best friend. He did not have to think why Mrs. Long chose to sit at the back. She surely wanted to sit close to her future daughter-in-law, and it was awkward too for him to sit beside his future mother-in-law with his own fiancee in the same car. He preferred Mika. Only Mika.
Mei Li did not follow them. She thought this was a private time for Ryn and did not want to be the gooseberry in the group. Besides, her job was done and she knew the Longs and Jason would send Ryn home safely.
Of course, she knew her work did not end officially... yet. She still needed to coordinate with the crews of Ryn's location, until the end of the day. But she was not too worried. She had no doubt Jason and Mika would help with the crew. None of them would want to make Ryn look back in public's eyes.
She went straight to the agency. She still needed to check on the other models, especially more jobs for them.
”I always believe you can do it, Ryn. You won't accept the word 'fail',” Mika said.
”We all believe in you,” Mrs. Long echoed. She looked at her future daughter-in-law proudly.
”I'm happy that I didn't let you all down,” Ryn said finally. She felt so awkward right now with Mrs. Long kept giving her that proud motherly look. She was okay with only Mika and maybe Jason but having to face Mrs. Long too... was a bit too much for her.
In short, she was only used with Jeremy and Mika but not the rest of the family. There was still awkwardness and nervousness whenever she met them.
Mrs. Long could feel how nervous Ryn was with her. She was hoping that Ryn would get used to her quickly so that when it was time for the two families to unite.
She, just like Mika, liked Ryn so much. She already considered her as her second daughter!
Jason watched the women chatting with a smile never left his handsome face. He was so happy to see the love of his life happy. Nothing could make him happier than having Mika with that cheerful smile on her face.
They soon reached their first showroom. The Bugatti.
Ryn looked gloomy when she saw the signboard. She should guess this would happen. Would Mika choose a regular people's type of car? Despite her unhappiness, she still followed them into the showroom.
