Tell Me Again My Love - Chapter 566
Mika drove the car calmly. Not a word came out from her mouth even though she was a chatterbox between them. And she always has something to talk about, every single time. But this time, she just kept quiet.
Mika glanced at her silently seething best friend. She pursed her lips thoughtfully.
After ten minutes, Ryn let out a heavy sigh.
Mika glanced at her but still did not say anything. She waited more.
“Is this normal?” Ryn asked finally.
“What is normal?” Mika asked without thinking.
“A rich man thinks that he owns all women?”
To be truth, this was not the first time she experiences this kind of thing. Even during work, she had to faca this kind of thing especially when she was still new. However, she was too proud and brave to accept their advance and refused to follow their demand. She did not care about fame or moneu. She did model for fun and if she had to choose, she would rather lose the chance for the job than sleeping with other man but Jeremy. She loved him too much to betray him.
Unfortunately, his jealousy clouded his mind and thought she was being unfaithful with another man in order to get more opportunities.
“They’re still immatured,” Mika shrugged.
“Are they?” Ryn asked quietly.
It was Mika’s turn to sigh heavily. She glanced at her best friend. She did not know why it suddenly triggered Ryn. It was as plain as the sky that the man was a playboy. But to make her usually calm Ryn this frustrated? Mika did not understand at all. Usually she was the one get frustrated easily and Ryn the one who calmed her down. But today…
“Playboy is everywhere, Ryn. Don’t make him the reason for you to have bad mood. He is not worth it.”
“I know…” Ryn murmured as she hugged herself. She knew it was not worth it but her mind could not stop thinking about those experiences she had since young. Even in school, she was a victim of one but she was safe when a beautiful girl came into the next class and every male students turned their attention to her.
“Cheer up. I bet you’re still hungry. Why don’t we go eat somewhere?” Mika suggested. She wanted to distract Ryn from her bad mood. It was better to feed Ryn until she was satisfied and happy than leaving her being angry for long.
Ryn twitched her lips. Was she that easy to coax?
“What do you have in mind?” Ryn asked finally.
“The restaurant at the lake? The steaks there are quite good,” Mika suggested.
How did she know?
Because Jeremy brought her to that restaurant for a few times already.
Ryn took out her phone and checked the message sent by Mei Li and Jeremy. Mei Li was again confirming about about the work tomorrow and also the plan to go to another city for another job.
Yes, as she was already done with her holiday, Mei Li arranged her work until the day before she started her practical.
She replied that she already understood and let Mei Li confirmed the flight for the next ȧssignment she had.
Then, she checked the message by Jeremy. She chuckled when he said he missed her so much and wished he could see her but his work was blocking him. She smiled as she replied for him to focus on his work and even added ‘jia you’ to encourage him. He replied with and emoticon of kissing and she replied with the same emoticon.
Mika saw the smile. She smiled back. She did not speak because she did not want to ruin the happiness. Let Ryn happy first with whatever she read in her phone. Later, once they reached the restaurant, she would make her best friend happier by treating her delicious steaks.
Mika’s finger tapped the steering wheel happily as she drove toward the restaurant. In just fifteen minutes or so, they would arrive.
Ryn threw her eyes at the window and sighed. Mika was right. It was not worth it to be angry when nothing could be done. The only thing she could do if the next time she faced this kind of thing again, she would harden her heart and refuse him seriously.
They chose to eat at the upper floor facing the lake. Mika rested her cheek on her hand and looked at the lake appreciatingly. Oh, maybe next time she should ask Jason to bring her here. A candlelit dinner, maybe?
Her eyes shone at the thought.
The waiter waited for their order after introduced himself and handed the menu. He stood there politely with a smile. His hand was holding a phone to take the order.
Ryn immediately ordered her favourite steaks (three portions) and drink while Mika had to take some time to choose what she wanted to eat and drink.
Finally, she chose a bowl of cranberries greek salad and fresh orange. She handed the menu back and thanked the waiter.
The waiter repeated back their order before he excused himself. The order was already printed in the kitchen, so he would go check if other customers needed help.
“So, what is your plan for your practical?” Mika asked once the waiter left. She knew that Ryn would do her practical soon. She was waiting for Ryn to say that she would work with her, her dearest best friend.
Ryn looked at her best friend with a smile. She knew what Mika was hoping to hear. Unfortunately, she already made up her mind and it would make Mika unhappy. Now, how could she break the news without hurting her best friend’s heart?
“Mika.”
“Yes?” Mika batted her eyes like a spoiled girl she was.
“Actually…”
“Yes?”
“Jeremy asks me to help him during the tour and I agree.”
Mika’s jaw dropped. Helping Jeremy during the tour? To do what? Being his bed partner?
Her eyes narrowed dangerously. How could her big brother be so selfish like this? Didn’t he know that Ryn was supposed to do her training in the office. How could she graduate if she could not pass the subject?
“I don’t agree,” Mika said.
“Why not?” Ryn asked back. When she thought about the idea, she felt like it was a good idea. She would learn a lot during the time she was helping Jeremy.
However, she hasn’t told Jeremy yet about her decision. She planned to tell him tomorrow.
“Ryn, my stupid friend, don’t get fooled by that man. He is just using you for his ŀust,” Mika reached for Ryn’s hands and grasped then gently. She tried to explain to make Ryn understood Jeremy’s evil mind.. She did not want her naive best friend to be fooled by her big brother.
