Chapter 457 - Why are you here? (1/2)

Mei Li was talking on the phone when Ryn knocked on the window. She turned to look at the model standing outside the car and used one hand to unlock the door.

Ryn did not greet nor ask who was online. She just c.o.c.ked an eyebrow but quickly made herself comfortable and pulled the safety belt.

It took almost ten minutes before Mei Li said goodbye to the other person with a reminder for the model to sleep early for tomorrow's work.

”Liza?” Ryn asked as she took out her phone to check.

”Hmm...” Mei Li switched the gear to move the car. Liza was one of the models under her wings and she needed to ask the model about her work's progress today. She could not accompany Liza because Ryn still did not have a car and luckily Liza could drive and own a cute little green car to bring her everywhere. Mei Li needed to bring Ryn back to her place to get her luggage and then send her to the airport for her flight.

”Do we have enough time for a meal?” Ryn asked as she checked her messages. It was full of reminders from Mika not to forget about their flight. She pursed her lips and quickly typed that she just finished her work and on the way to her place to grab her luggage. She also replied to a message from Jeremy who asked her about her work today. She only replied with an 'ok'. She kept her phone and looked at Mei Li hopingly.

Mei Li checked the time and frowned. The show ended later than they expected so the time was rushing and they needed to hurry. She let out a heavy sigh.

”I'm hungry,” Ryn murmured sadly, rubbing her stomach.

”Why don't you eat at the airport?” Mei Li suggested carefully.

”Too expensive,” Ryn complained. Although she could afford the price, she hated paying things that she could pay lesser in another place.

Mei Li sighed heavily. She forgot that Ryn was very frugal despite being popular and have a lot of money in her bank. That was why she did not even apply for a loan to buy her house and the renovation was paid gradually according to how much it had completed.

”I'm sorry, Ryn. We really cannot stop anywhere or you'll be late,” she said.

Ryn grumbled under her breath. She was starving. At least, couldn't they stop to get a burger or three on the way to the airport?

Mei Li ignored the grumble as she drove the car toward Ryn's place.

”I'm starving,” Ryn said again after she pulled her luggage into the lift with Mei Li following behind her.

”We have no time to stop,” the manager replied ruthlessly. She knew what Ryn had in mind and in order to finish the order, it would take a longer time for the fast-food restaurant to do it. She knew Ryn too well that this model would not order a normal amount of burgers but double or triple it.

Ryn crossed her arms and sulked. How could this manager of hers so heartless?

Ignoring the sulking model, Mei Li walked to her car once the door of the lift opened. She pulled the luggage. This time, Ryn did not just bring her backpack but also a trolley bag. Knowing Mika's favorite pastime, it was important to bring enough bags to keep all the souvenirs that Mika would buy there.

Ryn sat on her seat and sulked silently. She had no mood to do anything. Her mood was getting worst and her stomach was growling with hunger.

”You just eat at the airport, okay?” Mei Li said as she took her seat on the driver's side and slid the key to its place. She started the engine.

”I'm hungry,” Ryn muttered.

Mei Li sighed heavily. The one thing she hated the most was handling Ryn when she was starving and they could not stop to get her anything to eat. Ryn would get so cranky and anything or everything could trigger her displeasure.

”Give me some times to drive,” Mei Li said as she quickly drove the car out of the bas.e.m.e.nt to the exit and joined the other cars in the main road. Her hands gripped the steering tightly as her eyes scanned the road carefully. She knew she had to go to the limit so they could reach faster and at the same time safety came first.

Ryn shut her mouth. Mei Li refused to follow her instruction and she could do nothing about it. She was not the driver although she already owned a driver's license. Sigh. She really needed to squeeze in some time to buy a car.

Mika was chatting with Jason when she saw Ryn walked listlessly toward them. She frowned when she saw how weak Ryn looked right now. She quickly ran to Ryn worriedly.

”Ryn, are you okay? You're not sick, are you?” She asked worriedly.
