Chapter 579 - He was not ready to die yet (1/2)

Jeremy watched as Ryn walked into the building. He did not follow his girlfriend back to the office because he needed to go for the meeting with the crews and then the practice. He took a deep breath as he adjusted his sunglasses before he drove the car away.

Ryn smiled and greeted everyone. It seemed like she was not the only late from lunch. She joined two men and a woman waiting for the elevator. She guessed none of the trio knew she came with Jeremy earlier so they treated her casually. A nod, a smile and just that. Ryn did not mind at all.

The two women were gossiping with one of them pressed the buŧŧon for the fifth floor. The man pressed the buŧŧon for the third floor. Ryn who was standing at the back told the man to help her to press the buŧŧon for the top floor. She did not notice that the women and the man gave her a look up and down until their eyes rested on the worker ID she wore like a necklace.

Jeremy wanted to change the plain chain she used for the ID earlier when he noticed it but she refused. They did not have time for any shopping.

Ryn stood straight and looked at the number changing as the elevator kept going up. First, the man left first before on the fourth floor the door opened for three men to get in. Ryn quickly stood at the corner to give more space for the newcomers. Then, the women left with one of the men. On the sixth floor, both men left, leaving Ryn alone in the elevator.

Ryn let out a relieved sigh she did not notice she was holding when she found herself alone now. She did not know she was actually nervous when she was with them. She kept feeling that all of them were wondering who she was.

When at last the elevator reached the floor she was heading to, she took a deep breath before her feet brought her out from it. She smiled at everyone and went straight to Jacob who was actually talking in his phone.

She knocked the wooden table to announce her arrival, smiled at him before she went to sit on her desk. She put down her handbag into the drawer of her desk and switched on the computer. She already set a password for the computer, just in case. She typed in the password and smiled to see how fast it was setting up. She only blinked her eyes like ten times and everything was ready.

She took out her notebook and checked the note she wrote earlier before lunch. Her lips pursed thoughtfully as her hand held the mouse and clicked to open the email.

She took out two pieces of papers. One was the list of the phone and another was the phone number. She already chose the number she liked and took a highlighter to hightlight it. For the phone, it took her some times before she decided which one she wanted. Then, she put the papers aside and concentrated on reading the email.

”Ms Ryn, have you chosen your phone and number?” Jacob asked politely.

”Assistant Ryn, Jacob,” Ryn corrected with a smile. ”Or just my name, Ryn.”

”I wouldn't dare,” Jacob said in horror. To call Mrs Boss her name? He would be killed by the boss cruelly. He still wanted to live long enough to meet his great-great-great-grandchildren. He was not ready to die yet.

Ryn shook her head in bemused. She was too speechless to insist for Jacob to change the way he was calling her. Besides, she thought to herself, she would not work here long enough for the title to stick to her more than a year. Tomorrow would be her last day here as the ȧssistant and then she would follow Jeremy on the tour. Her practical training would ended during the tour. So, she decided that she would not insist on the title. After the training, she would return as plain Miss Ryn.

They continued to discuss the work until the time reached 5.00 pm. As Ryn has to follow Mika for the event, she quickly gathered her things and prepared to leave.

Mika sent a message to her earlier to wait at the lobby if she finished early. Mika had to go somewhere first before she could pick Ryn up. Of course, Ryn suggested that she could take a cab instead, but Mika refused to listen to that. She would not allow her best friend to take a cab when she could very well pick Ryn up.

Sigh.

She decided to take a photo of her notebook and for the caption, she just typed, ”Preparing for my practical training.”
