Ryn lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. They were holding her backpack.
"Do you want a budget hotel or..." Mei Li's voice trailed off as she waited for Ryn's answer.
"Somewhere safe enough for me with a lot of privacy," Ryn said finally. She was clueless about where to go because she did not care about how many stars the hotels own. All she cared about was whether it was safe for her to stay. She did not want any risk especially when she would use it as her temporary 'home'.
Mei Li sighed. She had no idea too. She did know several hotels that she used to 'park' the models who came from outside the city but would Ryn agree with any of them? Some were quite on the pricey side while some were on the cheaper side. Which one would Ryn choose?
"Choose somewhere that Jeremy and Mika could not find," Ryn suddenly added. She took out her phone and stared at the black screen. No one knew what was in her mind.
Mei Li pursed her lips. She was not sure about it. With how powerful the Long family was, it was not impossible for Jeremy or Mika to find her. Where could Ryn live where neither Jeremy nor Mika could not find here? This was a hard task for her to complete.
Ryn glanced at Mei Li and saw the troubled look on her face. Ryn sighed heavily.
"Just send me to the one the agency books for the model," she said finally. "The one closer to the agency."
"Okay." Mei Li was relieved to hear it. She was still thinking about which hotel to go to when Ryn saved her. She looked at the rear mirror and changed the lane. Now, since she already has a destination to go to, it would not take a long time for them to arrive.
Ryn no longer looked at the way they were heading to. Her eyes were focused on her phone as she chewed her bottom lip uneasily. As she already put her phone on silent, there was no ringing nor any notification sound coming from her phone each time someone calls or messages her. But she knew, oh, she knew, how many calls he made. The numbers kept increasing every single hour until it almost reached a hundred.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'t-find_51146846030069059 for visiting.
This was crazy!
Didn't he understand she needed time to cool herself? Why was he still trying to push himself to her?
The black screen suddenly lightened when a call came in. It was him. Jeremy.
With a heavy sigh, Ryn put the phone away and turned her sight to the window, watching the people enjoying their nightlife. This was the best way, her heart whispered. She needed to chase her happiness and by 'running away' she could steal a little bit of time to find the best way.
Actually, if anyone could read Ryn's mind, they would have a huge headache trying to understand her. She loved Jeremy. Her heart even called for his name whether she realized it or not, but at the same time, the traumatic experience of breaking up with him that day made her so scared to believe in him and every other man. She felt like it was not worth it to give her trust and heart to another man because later, she would get hurt again. And she did not want that. Hence, these opposite feelings kept fighting inside and drove her crazy. She wanted him and at the same time, she did not want him. She loved him, and at the same time, she hated him. She longed for him, and at the same time, she wanted nothing to do with him.
Her mother did ask her to think carefully before she accepted him back because she did not want her only daughter to end up like this. But, her mother trusted her to know what good for her.
And Ryn was having a headache due to her own decision. Maybe, she was too rushed when she decided to give another chance to Jeremy.
"Are you sure you're not going to answer that?" Mei Li asked when she noticed the light blinking from Ryn's phone before the younger woman kept it in her bag.
"No..." Ryn replied. She crossed her arms and rested her head against the cold window. She closed her eyes, trying to 'run away' from this problem.
Mei Li sighed. She guessed after helping Ryn checking into the hotel, she would contact Jeremy to discuss this 'childish' argument. Something so simple but turned into a bigger argument just because of pride. Would these two sacrifice their love because of their pride again?
These two kids seriously needed to sit down and talk things through. They should leave their pride at the door and walk in with a calm heart.
But would these two follow her suggestion? With their temper and pride controlling their mind, they would ignore everyone's suggestion.
Sigh.
Mei Li would give Ryn one or two days to calm down before she suggested this again. And she hoped, at that time, Ryn would agree with her.
She drove the car carefully while thinking about how to tell Jeremy about her plan. She did not want to worsen the situation. She just wanted these two stubborn kids reconciled back. That's all.
Finally, they have arrived at the hotel. Mei Li stopped at the entrance and let the bellboy take Ryn's luggage. She did not let the valet park her car, instead, she told Ryn to wait for her in the lobby while she went to look for a parking spot. Luckily, she could park her car not far from the entrance, hence, in less than five minutes, she joined Ryn in the lobby.
Ryn just stood quietly as Mei Li handled the register. She could not help from touching her phone in the pocket. Her heart was filled with nervousness and uneasiness. Suddenly she asked herself whether this was the right thing to do.
"Let's go," Mei Li interrupted her thought as she showed the card for her room.
Ryn took a deep breath to calm herself. Then, she followed Mei Li to the elevator. She had no idea what type of room Mei Li booked for her but she trusted her manager. Her manager would choose the best for her.
The bellboy followed behind. He could not help from staring at Ryn. As he always followed the entertainment world thanks to his girlfriend, he recognized her as the girlfriend of Jeremy, his girlfriend's idol. He was feeling weird to see the woman here. Didn't they just announce their relationship yesterday? Why would she stay here when he knew Jeremy has a lot of properties around the world.
Had they broken up?
He frowned in a puzzle. Maybe afterward he could ask his girlfriend. But then again, this was related to his profession as his boss always emphasized on to keep all the information regarding their clients as a secret. They must not reveal who their clients and what happened during their stay to anyone. It was what made the hotel where he worked at becoming the first choice by their clients; the workers' secretecy of their clients.
He stopped when the women reached the hotel room. He was silently wondering whether these two were staying together and what was their relationship. Was the model a bis.e.x.u.a.l hence Jeremy could not take it and they broke up because of her relationship with another woman? Was this woman the third person in their relationship?
So many questions lingering in his mind but he kept quiet and just smiled politely at the women. Once the door was opened, he quickly took those two bags and brought them into the room.
"Thank you," Mei Li said as she handed some cashes as the tips for the bellboy. She then locked the door and looked at Ryn.
Ryn sat on the couch. She pulled her knees close to her chest and rested her face on top. Her eyes closed tight.
"You should have a shower to freshen yourself. Don't think too much. Tomorrow I will pick you up for the filming," she told Ryn after she pulled the luggages to the wardrobe but she did not open any of them. Let Ryn tidy up everything. At least she could focus on her clothes rather than thinking about Jeremy's treatment toward her.
"Hmm..." Ryn did not lift her head to look at Mei Li. She just sat there without moving.
"Even if you don't want to take shower, you should wash your face and brush your teeth. Ryn, are you listening to me?" Mei Li asked suspiciously when she saw her did not make any move toward the toilet.
"Yes, I heard you. Bye, Mei Li. Good night. I'll see you tomorrow," Ryn muffled without raising her head. She just wanted to be left alone.
"Come on, Ryn. You should lock the door once I'm gone. I won't leave until I am sure of your safety," Mei Li threatened.
Groaning loudly, Ryn finally got up and followed Mei Li to the door. She quickly locked it and turned back, forcing her legs to bring her back to the couch. And then, she sat back like the pose before; her knees folded to her chest and her face rested on top of it.
