Tell Me Again My Love - Chapter 582
Ryn did not have only a five minutes nap. In fact, she had almost an hour and a half nap. She was so sleepy that she did not even stir the whole time the hairstylist and the makeup artist do their work. Being a model, she was so used being dolled up that even though she was sleeping, she never lowered her hear even once. Despite that, whenever the hairstylist and the makeup artist needed to adjust her head a little bit when working, she allowed it unconsciously.
It was a stressless session for the make-up artist and the hairstylist… As long as they forgot the fact that there was another person who would be criticising their work sitting beside them with her own team of hairstylist and makeup artist.
While Ryn was napping, Mika was doing live in her Instagram account. She was actually doing a live Q&A session with her followers. She answered the questions while the make-up artist and the hairstylist did her face and hair.
The live session was only half an hour before Mika ended it. She put down the phone and checked her makeup and hair. She was, so far, satisfied with their work but she would not say that yet to them. She wanted to see the end result. Then when she would tell them what she thought about their work.
Mika sat there drinking her juice while waiting for these people to finish their magic. She even had a few breaks to the bathroom to release all the fresh orange juice she had. She glanced at Ryn a few times but her best friend was so exhausted that she never stirred during the session.
“We’re done. What do you think?”
Mika put down the phone that she was scrolling and looked at the mirror. The hairstylist even held another smaller mirror so she could check what her hair looked like from the back.
She nodded her approval.
The hairstylist and the makeup artist let out a relieved sigh when they received approval from Mika. They were so nervous and stressed despite the smile and jokes they had during the session. They were silently jealous of the other pair who had Ryn as their client. Ms Catherine looked much warmer and friendlier than Ms Mika. Ms Mika’s infamous reputation for being difficult and fussy was so popular they almost had nightmare the night before.
Mika turned around slowly as she looked at her reflection in the huge mirror. Then, she turned her attention to Ryn who was still deeply asleep. She shook her head in bemuse.
“Bring the heels in,” Mika told one of them before she reached for her phone and smiled.
“Bring the driver here,” Mika told another person when that person said a man came to meet her.
A man approached and greeted her politely. She crossed her arms and handed her car key to the man.
“Tell my mama that Jason will pick us up later so don’t worry,” Mika told him as he nodded his understanding. The driver was from her in-laws and as she was still living there with Jason, she simply order the driver to bring her car back to the mansion.
Jason told her that they would move into their own condo in six months, just right before Christmas. Jason told her it would be their nest to grow their family and if later she did not want to live there, they could move into a house like Ryn. Jason already gave her a few options to choose and she chose a condo. Jason already hired an interior designer to help spruce up the place before they move in. He did not let her look at the plan or meet their designer. He said it was a gift for her and he wanted her to be surprised when it finishes.
Mika could not wait to see the house and started building their family just the two of them. Of course, her in-laws were still trying to change their minds but Jason was determined to have a place of only the two of them.
Mika watched as the driver left. She reached for her handbag to check the invitation card. She did not know what to expect from the dinner tonight but she could not wait to see the show. It would be interesting.
“Ryn, babe, wake up,” Mika just said when Ryn, just at the same time, blinked her eyes sleepily and sighed.
“Are we done? Are we ready?” Ryn asked as she covered her mouth for the yawn. She did not rub her eyes like usual. It was like a habit of her when she was working as a model. The habit that she unconsciously trained herself because of her hobby of sleeping. For the mouth, her art of covering her mouth for yawning was such a first-class act that it would not ruin any make-up on her face, not even the lipsticks.
“First thing first, do you like your makeup and hair? And the heels?” Mika asked. She stood up and smiled at her best friend. Her hand was holding another glass of… This time champagne. She had enough of fresh orange and wanted some alcoholic drink.
Ryn looked into the mirror, checking her makeup and hair. The hairstylist quickly held a mirror to show the back of her head.
Ryn did not say anything yet. She put on the heels, noticing immediately that everything on her matched with her best friend. Her lips twitched.
“You know, if we were in a competition for best friends, we will win easily,” she commented dry and stood up. She stood beside her best friend with a smile. “I guess we are going to steal the show.”
“Of course,” Mika stuck her chin up proudly. This was her plan once she had the idea of them going together.
“And these are out clutches,” Mika said as a woman holding a tray with two white diamond clutches on it.
Ryn took and opened it. Just enough to put her phone and ID. She quickly moved her ID into the clutch. Then, she checked her phone and frowned to see how much was left of the battery.
“My phone’s almost dead,” she announced.
Mika frowned before her brows relaxed. “Don’t worry. You can charge it in the car.”
“Do you have the cable?” Ryn asked. She did not remember any of them carrying a power bank. God, she really needed to bring one during the tour or she would end up being a fool when her phone went dead in the middle of a business conversation.
“Of course… Well, should be,” Mika replied rather weakly. She never carried a power bank or any cable. Jason always helped her with making sure her phone was never dead.
“Should be?” Ryn caught the uncertainty in Mika’s voice. She gave her best friend a look.
“Don’t worry, Ryn. Everything will be alright,” Mika said with a huge grin.
“Fine,” Ryn threw her arms up and snorted when Mika, giggling, wrapped her hand around Ryn. They were like a pair of lovers with Ryn the boyfriend and Mika the spoiled girlfriend.
“Thank you, all, for your great job,” Ryn thanked everyone before she and Mika walked to the entrance of the saloon.
“A driver? You’re not driving?” Ryn asked when she saw a black Maybach at the entrance.
“Jason will pick us up later and I don’t want to leave my car in the hotel for the entire night,” Mika scoffed. She nodded at the driver who opened the door and murmured her thanks to the man.
“Oh, right,” Ryn forgot about that particular fact. She guessed she was too exhausted to register what Mika blubbering about.
Mika giggled to see the blur look on her best friend’s face. She patted Ryn’s cheek gently. “Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. We have a dinner to attend.”
“A magic show,” Ryn murmured as she arranged her handbag in between her body and the door while the clutch on her ŀȧps
“Yeah, a magic show. I almost forgot that one,” Mika chuckled. “Hey, Mike, can you help to recharge Ryn’s charge.”
“Of course, Young Mistress,” the driver took the phone from Ryn and connected it to the charger.
“Finally, we’re on our way,” Mika sighed as she looked at Ryn. “Do you need more nap?”
“I’m good,” Ryn replied. “To tell the truth, I didn’t expect us to attend a magic show today. I was thinking more about us chatting on the phone before your hubby steals your attention from me and go to sleep.”
“Well, I have no doubt that my hubby will steal my attention tonight but it will be after the dinner. Right now we are going to have fun and remember to gasp and look impressed while eating whatever they give us,” Mika giggled.
“Ah… I hope the food is worth it. I don’t think I have the energy to cook when we go home,” Ryn murmured.
“Just stay the night with us and you don’t need to cook at all,” Mika suggested happily.
“I don’t want to ruin your romantic night with your hubby and I really don’t want to receive a sad look from your hubby if you decide that you want to be a single woman tonight with me.”
“Jason won’t say anything hurtful to you. He’s too sweet for that,” Mika smiled proudly.
“You’re a lucky woman, you know.”
“I know.”
