Chapter 531 - So, you’ve bought a car (1/2)
It did not take long for her to arrive at Mika's. Ryn stopped the car at the gated entrance and lowered down the window to wave at the security. The securities of the Long family all recognized her so once one of them saw her, he quickly pushed the buŧŧon to open the gate. His colleague used the walkie-talkie to inform those at the mansion about her arrival.
Ryn drove White into the area and stopped right in front of the huge door. She got out and walked to it but before she could knock on the door, the door was opened.
It was not the butler who opened the door but an excited Mika. Before Ryn could greet or say something, this best friend of hers rushed forward to look at White.
Ryn turned around and chuckled to see Mika already checking the car, even to the point of opening the front and back door so she could see White in at its glory.
”So, you've bought a car.” An elderly woman's voice said loudly and dryly..
Ryn turned to look at Dowager Long who was standing at the door with her daughter-in-law holding her arm. She smiled as she greeted the elder women politely.
”This is the kind of car you wanted?” the Dowager tottled toward the car with the help of her daughter-in-law.
”Yes, Ma'am. I bought it yesterday,” Ryn explained politely.
”It's not as secured as the ones we want to buy for you,” Mrs. Long pointed out with a frown. She was not looking down at the brand but she was worried about Ryn's safety. What if there was an accident or someone wanted to rob Ryn while she was driving a car alone?
”We can always modify it,” Mika shrugged. She was still checking the car inside and out. Right now, she was checking the engine. ”We can change the engine as well.”
”Mika,” Ryn ġrȯȧnėd as she head palmed herself. This was not what she had in mind when she bought the car. For her, the car was the best and suitable for her needs. She did not need an expensive car to move around the place. She did not need to change the engine. Knowing Mika, the possibility for the car to turn into a sports car was huge too. And she did not want that.
”Ryn, think about it. You are living alone so your safety is still... not secured,” Mika explained. Her best friend seemed to forget the fact that anything could happen anytime.
Besides, her hands were itchy to start modifying and decorating the car. She already has a vision of what the car should look like.
Ryn quickly went to stand beside Mika and hissed, ”Stop it. Not in front of your mother and grandmother.”
Mika gave her a funny look but it did not stop her from checking over the car. She was still planning what to do and wished Ryn would just hand the car key to her. If she was to receive it today, by tonight the car would be in the workshop for its makeover.
And Ryn would receive it by next week at the latest.
Her eyes twinkled excitedly at the thought of presenting Ryn with a brand new of her car. And Mika has no doubt that Ryn would... yes, maybe first felt shocked and uneasy but once she was used to it, she would thank her.
The Dowager and her daughter-in-law spent about three minutes more there before they went back into the mansion.
”Are you ready? Are you only wearing that?” Ryn asked, ċȯċking an eyebrow. She looked at Mika wearing denim shorts with a white top and covered with a pink plaid drop shoulder jacket.
”What's wrong with these?” Mika asked, ”Oh, stop giving me that look. This is fashion.”
Ryn pursed her lips but what else could she see when the designer said so. She was just a model, although she believed she knew something about fashion.
Ryn got into the car and started the engine. She watched from the corner of her eyes Mika took the front passenger seat and pulled the safety belt. Once Mika was properly on her seat and secured with the safety belt, Ryn switched the gear and let the car glid smoothly out of the perimeter.
”So, where are we going?” Mika asked excitedly.
”Around the area? Once we're hungry, we'll look for somewhere to stop and have our meal,” Ryn shrugged. She really has no plan at all for their destination.
