Chapter 445 - You did what? (2) (1/2)
Ryn opened her eyes and sighed heavily. She should expect this. Mika did tell her last time that she wanted to have a pre-wedding photoshoot overseas. But she forgot about it as she was so busy with her work and having to deal with Jeremy.
She rubbed her nape. Why the secrecy? Just tell her the truth. Was it so hard?
Heck, if Mika told her personally, she could clear her own schedule. Mei Li did not have to do it for her.
This was so pointless. Sooner or later she would know.
Or did they think it was funny to make her confused and wondering?
It was not funny at all.
Ryn was still pondering over this when her phone rang. Without even thinking and looking, she took it out of her pocket and slid her finger over the screen to answer.
”Ryn, are you angry at me?” Mika cried worriedly once Ryn answered the call. She was shocked when Mei Li called her earlier and apologized profusely for breaking her promise. Mika knew sooner or later Mei Li would give in to the pressure and tell the truth.
Ryn sighed. She was still trying to calm down and this silly girl was already begging for her understanding.
Was she that naive or brave?
”Are you angry? But I just want to make it a spontaneous thing for you,” Mika whined.
”Do you understand the meaning of spontaneous?” Ryn asked quietly. She could not believe the guts Mika has said it was for a spontaneous thing. Did she even know the meaning of that word she used as an excuse?
”Ryn~”
Ryn pinched the bridge of her nose as she controlled her emotion. Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly. Take another deep breath. Let it out.
”I do know it's a weak excuse. I just... I just want to surprise you. Nothing much can surprise you nowadays. And you seem so rigid and serious. I just want you to have a little bit of fun.”
”I don't find it fun at all, Mika. Do you know what I feel right now? I feel betrayed.”
”Ryn~”
”Enough, Mika. Give me some time to cool down.” Ryn ended the call with a sigh. She closed her eyes tightly, trying desperately to hold onto her patient.
She put the phone onto the coffee table and leaned her back to the sofa, sighed heavily. She was getting a headache because of this. Her stress level.... she was afraid to even measure it.
She closed her eyes.
*~*~*~*~*
Jeremy was on the way back to the agency office. He had to make a stop at his office to review some important doc.u.ments before he continued his journey. He ignored the sad puppy-eyed look from Jacob, his assistant. For him, Ryn was more important. Nothing could measure to Ryn.
Then, his phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and frowned to see his little sister's name appeared on it. What did she want this time? Didn't she know how busy he was wooing Ryn?
He wanted to ignore her, thinking it was unimportant. But of course, his little sister was insisted on him to answer the call. She kept on calling and calling until he, desperate for some peace, pressed the button to answer the call.
”What?” he asked with no greeting to his sister.
”Jeremy, help me,” she whined.
”What's wrong this time, Mika? What did you do?” he asked tiredly. What did she do now that he needed to step forward to help to solve it?
”I... I...”
”Speak up or I'll hang up,| he warned impatiently. He frowned when the words she said were not clear. ”Speak clearly.”
”I... I... I just... well, not lie but more like... keep a plan a secret from Ryn... and... and now she knew...”
”You did what?” His eyes widened. Mika dared to lie to Ryn? Was she mad?
”It's not that I want to lie to her but... but...” Mika sobbed, ”It's not my intention to make her angry. I just want to surprise her. I want to make her happy.”
Jeremy sighed heavily. Has she lost her mind? Didn't she understand how Ryn was right now? She hated when people lie to her. And to make it worst, someone closed to her. Ryn would go furious. Even when he has a very valid reason to be jealous, she was still blaming him for everything. And she even treated him coldly just because she thought he was being over-reacting when he was just trying to protect their relationship.
