Chapter 581 - How fresh the fresh orange? (1/2)
”Yup. It's stated in the card. Look into the dashboard drawer. The card should be in it,” Mika instructed.
Ryn leaned forward to get the invitation card. As what Mika just said, the event was called Magic Charity Dinner with two pictures of a man doing some sort of magic trick.
”So are we going to watch a magic show?” Ryn asked with a smile on her face.
”I guess so. Not sure who the magician is, though,” Mika shrugged. She was not interested in any magic show, hence she did not recognize the man or his name. All she knew was that she would need to come to represent both families. But then again, Ryn could represent the Long while she represented her husband's family.
Ryn looked at her best friend thoughtfully. It seemed like Mika has started to bring her to events that usually would not interest her so much. She guessed Mika has started to realize the importance of socializing and not only depending on her parents and Jeremy to do it while she chose and picked which event she wanted to go to. And sometimes, Ryn knew that none of them even bothered to attend if they did not feel like it.
But why was she being pulled along for this kind of event? She was just the family's friend, well, Jeremy's girlfriend. Usually, she was not involved in this. Well, to be exact, Jeremy was also not involved in this kind of thing because he was still a student and then a singer. It was not expected for him to do it yet.
”Why are you looking at me like that?” Mika asked when she noticed the look.
”Nothing. I just want to know why you want to bring me along when I am not...”
”You'll be sooner or later. You should start getting used to it,” Mika shrugged. She wanted Ryn to get used to being the wife of the CEO so that Ryn would not get overwhelmed when she married to Jeremy.
Ryn pinched between her brows. She wished she had a real headache now.
”Stop giving me that look. You have to get used to this life,” Mika said cheerfully. She already planned to bring Ryn along to all the events that her husband could not accompany her.
It would be fun and they could strengthen their friendship even more by going together. And they could even wear matching dresses and jewellery. Ooh... Mika could not wait for them to be known as twins.
Ryn crossed her arms and sighed as she looked outside the window. Somehow, by looking at that suspicious smug look on her best friend face, Ryn could guess what was in that silly girl's mind. Later she needed to have a long talk with Jeremy. She needed him to stop Mika from continuing her plan.
She was happy that the Long family accepted her with open arms, unlike those typical rich families displayed in drama series that would not entertain to have a poor or lower status person to join in their families. Ryn understood her own family background and sometimes she did feel herself do not match with Jeremy because of their difference in status but... Her heart at that time. With the way the family and the siblings treated her, it made her forget about their differences.
But right now, she wished that they were not that close so she was not forced to do something that was not appropriate for her to attend... Yet.
She knew, just like Mika said, sooner or later she would need to attend these events... Once she married to Jeremy. But until then, she would rather spend her leisure time sleeping at home.
How she wished she agreed with Jeremy and rejected Mika's invitation. The stress of trying to cramp everything into her head exhausted her so much that all she wanted was to sleep.
”We're here,” Mika announced as the car stopped just right into the parking space. She turned off the engine and looked at her best friend proudly. ”Marriage really suits me well. Can't you see how perfect I parked the car today?”
Ryn shook her head in bemused. Marriage really suited Mika well. Ryn noticed that since the moment Mika became Jason's wife, she could control her emotion better. Maybe because she was no longer under the stress of what the marriage would bring her and realized that the life of a wife suited her as she was pampered by her husband and in-laws.
