Chapter 586 - Food, where are you? I’m starving... (1/2)

Ryn stood beside Jacob silently. Jeremy tried to make her sit down but she refused when she noticed that it was rare for Jacob to sit down whenever he was reporting to Jeremy. She decided that it was only appropriate for her to follow suit and stood up as well.

Jacob tried not to wince when he saw how stubborn Ryn was. He did try to persuade her but she stubbornly said she always saw him standing up so why when it was her time, she was expected to sit down?

Hence, both ȧssistants stood up at the table while Jeremy crossed his arms with a frown.

The meeting was around twenty minutes before they went to the third floor for a meeting. Jacob deliberately walked slower to allow Ryn to walk in front of him.

Jacob opened the door of the meeting room as everyone in the room stood up. Jeremy sat on the chairman seat and signalled Ryn to sit on his right side. Jacob sat on his left side. He signalled everyone to sit down and they obeyed.

Ryn looked around and frowned when she noticed a hostile look coming from a woman. She glanced at the person and realised the person was the same one who 'attacked' her yesterday. Her lips twitched in bemuse.

This was going to be another interesting meeting.

”What's wrong?” Jeremy asked when he noticed the look. He leaned toward her to ask her quietly.

”Nothing,” she replied, trying to hold the laughter, ”this is going to be another interesting meeting?”

”Your fanatic fan is here,” she whispered, too happy not to share the news, ”behave.”

His hand reached for hers and squeezed at her cheeky reminder.

”You behave.”

She made a face before coughed to remind him that they were not alone. She straightened her body and looked forward.

He did the same and cleared his throat to stop the whispers among the others. He started to speak once he saw everyone already giving their attention to him.

Lily tried to control herself. She thought today she finally has the chance she has been waiting for. She has worked hard to receive recognition from her leader and can represent her team to present to Jeremy. She also thought that the new woman understood her warning and quit her job yesterday. She could not believe how thick faced that woman was until she ignored her warning.

Lily gripped her fists and sank her teeth into her bottom lips to control herself.

Ryn ignored the daggers coming from Lily. She concentrated on what was discussed, especially when Jeremy commented on how to improve the plan. As she thought earlier, it was an interesting meeting, not because there was drama during the meeting but the glare from one particular person at her. Jeremy kept touching her hand, to warn her to control herself and not laugh. But it was hard. Imagine in a very sober meeting, a woman kept throwing daggers toward another person. Ryn bet everyone else noticed it as well.

It was quite awkward.

Everyone stood up when Jeremy stood up to leave the room after the meeting ended. Jeremy put a hand on Ryn's back to urge her to walk, not to stay like Jacob. He did not want Ryn to be in trouble.

Lily almost dropped her pen and book when she saw that action. Her face turned pale.

”If you have any thought toward Boss, I suggest you to cancel it,” Jacob said quietly. He noticed the dagger from Lily to Ryn and only his professionalism stopped him from standing up and telling Lily to behave. ”Assistant Ryn is Mrs Boss.”
