Chapter 528 - Steaks = happiness (1/2)

Without wasting another moment, she connected her phone to the car via Bluetooth. Then, she looked for his name and called.

She did not have to wait long before he answered the call. She smiled listening to his cheerful greet. It seemed like he has forgotten about the hurt he received from her. She just hoped that this time he could move on and accepted that they could only have a platonic relationship. If he still wanted to be with her, that is.

”Are you free?” she asked as she drove the car. She did not plan to have the conversation right in front of the shop. The traffic would be bad as it was lunch hour and everyone was out to get a bite.

She decided to go to the same steak house he brought her previously. Although she was the spokesperson for the restaurant, it was quite rare for her to go there especially when she was busy with work..

The steaks were delicious and she was craving for it. And as the spokesperson, she could get a discount for a meal there.

”I'm free. Why?” he asked hurriedly. He conveniently forgot the fact that he already promised his little sister to bring her out for lunch. For Ryn, he would do anything.

”I'll treat you lunch?”

His eyes went huge. His smile went wider. She was actually treating him to lunch without him using any trick? Was this meant that she was finally accepting him as a potential love partner?

”Yes, sure. When? Today? Do you want me to pick you up?” he asked hurriedly. His heart was pounding hard as he could not wait to hear her answer. Would they have lunch today or tomorrow?

”Today? Remember the steak house you brought me last time? We'll meet there?” she suggested.

”You... don't need me to pick you up?” his face fell, thinking that man would accompany her again. He knew it would not be Mei Li as their manager was busy helping another model. So the person who was bringing Ryn around would not be Mei Li. Even Mika was impossible too as he knew with the wedding getting closer, she would be busy with the last-minute preparation.

It made him mad with jealousy.

”No need. I'm almost there,” she said. She was oblivious to his stress. She looked for an empty parking lot and parked her new car in one.

She did not shut off the engine immediately. Instead, she just switched off the air-conditioner and opened all four windows. She got out of the car and quickly tore off all the plastic wrap in the car. She did not want to be so obvious that she just bought a car. In fact, after this, she planned to buy accessories for the car. And she needed to think of a name too.

She guessed even though she already bought a car, there were more things to do. She sighed.

She finally shut off the engine after she closed all four windows. Then, she put on the bag and gathered all the plastic wraps. She then locked the car and then looked for the rubbish bin to throw the plastic away.

She returned back to the car. Instead of unlocking and getting into the car, she went to the front. She took out her phone and opened the camera. She stepped backward so when she focussed on the car, it filled the frame nicely. She took a picture. And then, she set the camera for a selfie and made sure her face and the car were included nicely in the frame before she clicked the buŧŧon.

She checked both photos and smiled. But, she did not send those photos to anyone. Instead, she checked the time and decided that she should go to the restaurant now or they would not be able to have lunch there.

It was her luck when a table was empty right when she reached the restaurant. The manager recognized her and quickly brought her to the table as the cleaner left the table, bringing along the dirty dishes.

”Welcome Miss Ryn. Would you like to order now?” the manager asked politely. He was already holding the menu for her to choose from.

”I'm waiting for my friend,” Ryn replied, ”But please, a glass of water.”

The manager nodded and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water for Ryn. Then, he excused himself and went to wait at the cashier counter.

She sipped the water while looking at his phone. She still did not upload the photos in her media social account nor show off at either Mika, Jeremy, or Mei Li. She simply checked how many people liked and commented on her posts. She smiled when the comments were nice but did not bat an eye when some left negative comments or scold her. She also ignored the sėxuȧŀ comment from  those perverts.
