Tell Me Again My Love - Chapter 559
“I promise I won’t repeat it ever again. I will discuss everything with you first before I agree with anything,” Mei Li said.
Ryn narrowed her eyes suspiciously at her innocent looking manager. After a while, she sighed and shook her head.
Things already happened and nothing could make the time turn back. At least now she has drove her point and the manager knew not to challenge her patience again.
“Anyway, I am going to start my practical next month so I cannot take jobs that many,” she announced.
“You’re starting your practical and you didn’t inform me earlier?” Mei Li almost shrieked. She did not know that this mode under her would no longer studying but doing her practical so soon. If she knew earlier, she would start planning so many things for Ryn to participate. She has no doubt that Ryn would do her practical at either the Full Moon Corp, the company Jeremy established with Mika or at the Long Corp where Jeremy would be based on, taking over his father’s place as the rightful heir.
“I might be following Jeremy during the tour but I am still thinking about it,” Ryn did not forget to break the news. She knew by now that Jeremy would do anything to make her agree to be his ȧssistant. She was sure, though, whether by being his ȧssistant could actually be regarded as the training she was required to do.
“What? Why?” Mei Li was taken aback with the news. If Ryn was supposed to do her training as per the requirement to graduate, why would the younger woman follow her boyfriend? This was not making any sense at all.
“He needs an ȧssistant to help him manage anythong from the companies while he’s in tour,” Ryn repeated the reason he gave when he suggested it earlier. When she thought about it, she knew it made sense as Jeremy could not simply leave everything to his father in such a long time. He still needed to shoulder the responsibility especially the projects that he has already approved earlier.
“Oh…”
“However, I am still thinking about it,” Ryn said. Despite knowing the importance of it, she still needed to think about whether she could carry the responsibility. It was quite heavy for her to shoulder when she has no experience at all.
“Oh…”
“So I guess I’m going to take another not so short vacation during my training,” Ryn shrugged. As she was not sure which option she would choose, it was better to clear her calender.
“Ryn~” Mei Li cried. How could she do this to her? Didn’t she know how many companies and brands were fighting to get her? And she wanted another break?
“What?”
“You can’t be serious about taking such a long break,” Mei Li cried. She could help by making it as minimize as possible but to stop for such a long time… Was Ryn not aftaid to lose all her appealing? Her popularity?
Gasp.
Was she thinking about retiring… again?
But… but it was only a few months since her comeback and she has had enough… already?
Then… then… what about her dream of becoming the number one manager to manage the number one supermodel in the country?
“Why are you giving me that look?” Ryn was puzzled to see the many expression in her manager’s face. From worried to horrror and back to worried and even now, it made her feel like she was being caught cheating by her own manager.
What was in Mei Li’s mind to give that heartbreak look?
“Ryn… are you thinking about… about retiring… again?” Mei Li asked worriedly. She quickly closed her eyes and her ears before Ryn could answer, could not bear to see or hear Ryn said she wanted to retire again.
Nothing. She remembered nothing she said that could give that reaction to Mei Li.
So why would Mei Li think she wanted to retire?
Yes, well, she did plan to quit modelling once she had it enough. She was not planning to continue her contract. She only made a comeback to help with Mei Li but to work as a model for years? Nope. She would only do this until all the contracts for the brands she signed with has ended. She did not want to waste her degree and she did not think the payment she received from each modelling job could make her less exhausted and stressful of waking up in different hotel room every few days.
But that topic would be introduced slowly to Mei Li once the last contract near the end.
Sigh.
“Right now what I’m thinking about is to free my schedule during the training just in case I become the ȧssistant for Jeremy during the tour. However,
if I were to do my training in the company, I might be able to do some jobs as long as they were not interrupting my work at the company.”
Mei Li lowered her hands as she opened her eyes. Even though she covered her ears, they
were not that tight so she could still hear Ryn’s voice.
“Then, I wish for you to choose the company,” the manager gave the model a hoping look.
Ryn’s lips twitched.
Could Mei Li not look that desperate? She was not the only model under Mei Li’s wings and Mei Li knew that her aim was not the money or being popular. She was just helping a friend and that was that.
“Ryn?”
Ryn reached out her hand and patted Mei Li’s hand to calm down the other woman. Like she said earlier, she was still deciding which path she
would chose for her training so she could not give any confirmation now. She needed more time to think about the pros and cons for each option. She must choose carefully as it would decide on her graduation.
“I will tell you once I’ve decided which one I will choose. In the meantime, you can arrange a job or two before I start my training.”
“Well… what if you are invited to a family day? A two days one night family day?”
“A family day?” Ryn frowned. Shouldn’t the concept of a family day was within a day?
“Well, it’s a tv program,” Mei Li explained.
“Another show? Mei Li,” Ryn ġrȯȧnėd.
“Well… the invitation is from the main sponsor of the program,” Mei Li took a file from the piles and showed it to Ryn. “Your image is suitable for the show hence your name is suggested for a guest. Don’t worry, Ryn. It’s just one episode.”
Ryn sighed. She pulled the file and quickly read everything. They even included the itinerary of the program so she’d know what to expect during the shooting.
“A sports game? Mei Li, you know I am not a sporty person,” Ryn’s finger pointed at one particular activity. If she could not even play bowling, she would not be able to do any other sport. She was not an athlete like Jeremy.
“It’s not a competition, Ryn, so don’t worry,” Mei Li reassured.
“I don’t know about that,” Ryn mumbled with a frown.. Not a competition but including it into the itinerary? She did not think so.
