Chapter 583 - Too exhausted to do anything (1/2)

”And I want you to be happy like Jason and me,” Mika said as she held Ryn's hands.

”I am happy,” Ryn said.

”Are you?”

”I guess my poker face is so on point that you can't see behind the mask,” Ryn patted Mika hand reassuringly. She would not tell Mika about the times she was worried about the future of her life with Jeremy. It was from her own insecurity and she knew once she could believe in her worth, then she would bravely accept his love. Right now, she was half letting him into her heart and the other hand pushing him away. She found herself suspicious about the reason why he wanted to return to her and whether he would repeat back what he did last time. Her little fragile heart could no longer bear the hurt the second time.

Mika sighed. She could guess it was Ryn's insecurity that stopped her from truly accepting Jeremy and resulted in Ryn being unable to return back to what she used to be.

The car cruised smoothly as the best friends were deep in their thought. Mika kept glancing at Ryn but her lips were refusing to open to coax her. Her heart told her to give Ryn some space to understand what she truly wanted in life. Of course, Mika would prefer for her best friend to accept Jeremy fully; body and soul. Ryn deserved all the happiness in the world.

The car finally stopped in front of the entrance of a hotel. Ryn took back her phone and smiled to see it almost full. Good.

The driver quickly went to open the door for Mika and Ryn. Mika and Ryn thanked her after they adjusted their dress. Then, walking hand in hand, they walked into the luxurious hotel.

Mika handed their invitation card to the woman who was at the reception desk and she led Ryn into the hall. They stopped at the media stage to let the media take their pictures. Then, they went to the hall and Mika led Ryn to mingle with everyone. Mika knew almost everyone and they seemed to treat her so courteous and a bit enthusiastic. Ryn kept a calm smile on her face as she followed her best friend.

They went to their seat when the host announced the program will start soon. Ryn's lips twitched when she realized their table was toward the front, just beside the VVIP. She guessed either the Long or the Wu was quite important for the organizer that their seating was quite close to the VVIP.

”You're representing Long while I'm Wu,” Mika announced suddenly, pleased with herself.

”Wait... What?” Ryn sputtered. ”Aren't I your plus one?”

”Nope. You are under Long,” Mika repeated. ”Mom said it's better to have you to represent us because I'm representing my hubby.”

”Mika...” Ryn sighed heavily.

Mika grinned proudly.

Ryn could not complain or argue with Mika when the host started the show. As they were quite in front, even though their voices were quite low and others could not hear them, it was inappropriate for them to speak all the time during the show. Ryn leaned back and watched the host welcoming everyone before he invited the chairman of the foundation to speak.
