Ryn watched as the crew busily setting the camera all over her house. She pursed her lips but did not say anything. She already knew the exact location where they would put it. She leaned her back against the wall and watched.
"Miss Catherine, everything is set," the director reported to her once he was satisfied with the setting his crew did to the whole house.
"Good. Please have some drink and snacks before you go," Ryn said as she gestured to the dining table where she and her manager arranged some drinks and snacks for the crews to have after they have finished.
The director called his men to the dining table after he thanked the women profusely. The director wiggled his brows at Mei Li, signaling her for a short discussion.
"Yes, Mr. Max?" Mei Li asked.
Ryn already went into her room to charge her phone. The battery was getting low and she was worried that Jeremy could not reach her. Usually, when they were not together at night, he would contact her.
She left her phone on the nightstand and went back to the others.
"How is it?" She asked Mei Li.
"Don't worry. Tomorrow I'll arrange everything. You just act like usual. Ignore the cameras," Mei Li replied confidently. She was not worried at all. Compares to the first filming, now she knew what to expect and how to handle it. Tomorrow she'll go straight to the driving center to arrange everything with the director of the program. Luckily they managed to get the approval before the filming day.
"Cool." Ryn did not ask for further explanation. As long as Mei Li knew what to do and did everything that she was expected to do without any nudge or reminder from her, Ryn did not care much. Her manager should arrange everything for her. That was why she had a manager.
Ryn and her manager walked the filming team to the door. Once they were gone Ryn and Mei Li returned to the couch and let out a relieved sigh. Finally, they have left.
"I will pick you up around 8.00 am. We will go have our breakfast first before we go to the driving center," Mei Li explained the schedule for tomorrow. She was not holding her IPad and read Ryn's plan for tomorrow. "And seriously, you need to do your grocery."
Ryn's lips twitched at the complaint. She knew the fault was hers. She did not have time for any shopping. She was too busy with her work and dealing with Jeremy. When would she have the time to squeeze in some grocery shopping?
Hence, she did not argue with her manager. She knew Mei Li meant well. And the nag also came because this manager of hers was exhausted and wanted something to release the stress.
She locked the door and could not help from glancing at the cameras dotting all over the place. Although she was not getting used to those dots, she knew when she woke up tomorrow, she would forget and act like usual.
She went into the bathroom and checked the camera there. She carefully covered the camera before did her business.
She returned to her bed and checked her phone. The only message from him was a reminder for her to eat dinner and sleep on time because she needs to be fresh for tomorrow's driving test.
She sent a message informing him that she was going to sleep and reminded him too to sleep early. She did not ask him what he was doing and what his plan for tomorrow. She believed he would appear even without asking.
Mika too.
It seemed like she has accepted the fact that the Long siblings would appear in her daily life. But so far, the two of them did not force her to follow their order any more.
She sent a message to her mother, informing her that tomorrow will be the recording for the show. episode. She did not want her mother to get shocked when the neighbors asked her.
She put the phone down and lied down on the bed. She stared at the ceiling and sighed. Tomorrow she would need to stay focus to nail the driving test. She did not want to retake it again.
She sighed. Was she nervous? Of course. But she could not wait to finish this quickly. She did not want to wait and fret anymore. Just let this done with. Done and put it aside.
Once she passed the test then she would think about what kind of car she would buy. She did not want to think that far. There were so many things she needed to finish. She still hadn't packed her things to move into the new house. She also needed to confirm the day and the plan for the pre-wedding photoshoot of Mika and Jason. She needed to do the fitting for Mika's wedding. There are several jobs she still needed to fulfill before the short break for the wedding. After the wedding, she would receive the result for the exam and then go straight to do her practical training.
And she still hasn't chosen yet where she would do her practical training.
However, it was obvious she would do her training at Long's company, just not sure which company and which departments.
No matter, Ryn. You should sleep now. She told herself. She did not want to waste any more moment thinking about things that she could decide later.
And soon enough, a soft snore escaped from her as she drifted into the dreamland.
*~*~*~*
Jeremy adjusted the coat he was wearing before he approached the man guarding the door. He handed his invitation card and thanked the man with a nod.
He was welcomed by a pair of an older couple. He smiled.
"Welcome, Young Master Long," the man said as he shook Jeremy's hand.
"Sorry for being a bit late, Mr. Lo. It was quite a traffic," Jeremy made an excuse. It was after all a last-minute decision. He was not here for the party but to look for someone. He wanted to deal with someone who thought his older age could make him a bully.
"It's okay. You're here. Welcome and please, enjoy yourself," the woman replied with a smile. She could not wait to tell her daughter of Jeremy's arrival. Her daughter was a huge fan of Jeremy, the singer. When her husband informed her that one of the guests was Jeremy, rather absent-mindedly when their daughter asked during breakfast this morning, she was screaming with delight but then heartbroken when her husband informed her that Jeremy might not be able to come because there was no reply from his company.
"Lydia will be happy. Go look for her," her husband said after they watched Jeremy heading further into the room.
"I'm going," the wife said and hurriedly looked for their precious princess.
Jeremy took a glass of wine from the waiter with a nod of thanks and looked around. There were so many people attending the party. It made his searching for the man a bit hard. But he did not think it was impossible to find that man. He simply needed to spend more time looking more.
Of course, when attending this kind of party, he needed to do a little network. He needed to talk with other people for the sake of his company. And of course, for the main company too.
He was chatting with a manager from Y company when at the corner of his eye, he saw his target. He excused himself and walked calmly to the older man.
"Mr. Hu?" he called when he reached the man. He was standing behind the man so he needed to call him to announce his arrival.
The man turned around. Jeremy saw his expression changed even though the man managed to control himself rather quickly to cover his surprise. Jeremy was known in the business world to be quite lazy to attend parties and let his parents do it. Who could guess the younger Long would be here tonight?
"Mr. Long," the older man tried not to show his awkwardness. He took the hand offered by Jeremy and did not wince when Jeremy used his strength for the grip. He could guess how pissed the younger man was when he learned about the media conference tomorrow.
"I heard a funny story today," Jeremy did not waste his time by chit-chatting and went straight to the reason why he came here.
Mr. Hu gulped a bit.
"But of course, although it is a silly story made by someone, I still have my attorneys to check on tomorrow," Jeremy said with a smile never left his face. "Excuse me, it seems like Mrs. Lo needs me."
Jeremy left Mr. Hu frozen. Mr. Hu knew it was a warning from the younger man. Silently he was regretting the sudden crazy decision. He should just do it properly by insisting them to make another appointment with the company to discuss the project instead of trying to force the company by holding a media conference to announce their collaboration.
This was the first time he tried this tactic and the manager reassured him no company would dare to make them lose face by denying it.
He truly regretted letting the manager poisoning his mind for this.
He quickly took out his phone and called his manager.
Jeremy approached the duo with a smile.
Mrs. Lo quickly introduced her excited daughter and left them alone. She wanted to give her daughter some private time with her idol.
Jeremy smiled at the girl. He knew this girl was his fan and he quickly put on his singer persona.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
