Chapter 454 - Where is the food? (1/2)
”Ryn?” He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow when she did not move at all. He was confused of why his girlfriend did not do what he asked. Did he just make a mistake of increasing his voe and made her angry?
”Do you know what time it is right now?” She asked with a frown. Her arms crossed against her chest as she stared at him coldly.
He was taken back with her question. Then, he lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist. He realized why she was being moody.
It was lunch hour and he just told her to sing! He forgot that she would throw tantrum if she did not get her food... as soon as possible.
He forgot to cover the workoholic side in him from her and almost treated her like one of his employees. Luckily he still had the time to correct this.
Without another word, he wrapped his arm around her and kissed the frown on her delicate brows gently. ”I'm sorry, love. You know I always forgot to eat when I'm excited with my work. Forgive me?”
He used his charm to melt her heart, even talking about his weakness to makeher forgive him. He was not ashamed to admit his weaknesses so she would not feel like she stepped into an egoistic employer. He did not want her to see his ugly side 'the cold-blooded big boss' side. He did not want to frighten her. She was just a delicate lady, needed to be protected the whole time.
Tim and Hank looked away, too embarrassed to witness this side of Jeremy. Even though Jeremy sang love songs but he was always serious when working. He never let anything affect his flow of work. Even though their face was red but the curled of the smile could not cover the amus.e.m.e.nt in their heart. Jeremy finally looked normal now.
”We'll go have our lunch first and then we'll come back here. What do you think?” He asked for her opinion. He learned to discuss now, especially regarding her meals.
”Hmm...” she gave a nod. She was getting hungrier by the minute and he expected her to sing? If he did not realize his mistake, she would leave the room and give him cold shoulder for a week as punishment.
”Let's go,” he took her hand and walked to the door. Right now he was praying that the restaurant at the end of the building opened. The food there matched with her taste especially the special meat platter.
Tim and Hank watched the couple left and sighed in relief once they could no longer see them.
”I never thought I would see him being hen-pecked like this,” Hank commented. Withot even thinking, his hand reached for the cigarette box and took out one. He passed the box to Tim.
Tim took one of the cigarettes and lightened it with a ligher from Hank. He took a deep breath before let it out.
”Hopefully with her here we don't have to spend the whole night here,” Tim wished. Although Jeremy was not stingy his expectation was so high that they always ended up spending one whole day until the night in the studio. They could not leave until Jeremy satisfied.
”Lucky,” he murmured when they arrived at the restaurant and it was opened. He pulled her into the restaurant and made a beeline toward the first empty table he saw. He knew better to choose as there were so many customers and whoever came first would get to sit.
”One meat platter and hawaian fried rice. Orange juice for me.” Jeremy handed the menu back to the waiter and signalled Ryn to tell the man her choice of drink.
”Warm water,” Ryn handed the menu back to the waiter. She knew the meat platter was for her and she approved Jeremy's choice.
The waiter went to the counter to put their order into the system and then went to the drink section to get their drinks.
”You...” she started once the waiter was gone.
”Yes?”
”Why me?” She was referring to the songs.
”Because Mika did say she wished to hear you sing but too afraid to ask you. And I think it is a good surprise for her. And you,” he grasped her hands gently, ”I believe you want to do something special for her on her wedding but you don't know what to do.”
