Without wasting another moment, she connected her phone to the car via Bluetooth. Then, she looked for his name and called.
She did not have to wait long before he answered the call. She smiled listening to his cheerful greet. It seemed like he has forgotten about the hurt he received from her. She just hoped that this time he could move on and accepted that they could only have a platonic relationship. If he still wanted to be with her, that is.
"Are you free?" she asked as she drove the car. She did not plan to have the conversation right in front of the shop. The traffic would be bad as it was lunch hour and everyone was out to get a bite.
She decided to go to the same steak house he brought her previously. Although she was the spokesperson for the restaurant, it was quite rare for her to go there especially when she was busy with work..
The steaks were delicious and she was craving for it. And as the spokesperson, she could get a discount for a meal there.
"I'm free. Why?" he asked hurriedly. He conveniently forgot the fact that he already promised his little sister to bring her out for lunch. For Ryn, he would do anything.
"I'll treat you lunch?"
His eyes went huge. His smile went wider. She was actually treating him to lunch without him using any trick? Was this meant that she was finally accepting him as a potential love partner?
"Yes, sure. When? Today? Do you want me to pick you up?" he asked hurriedly. His heart was pounding hard as he could not wait to hear her answer. Would they have lunch today or tomorrow?
"Today? Remember the steak house you brought me last time? We'll meet there?" she suggested.
"You... don't need me to pick you up?" his face fell, thinking that man would accompany her again. He knew it would not be Mei Li as their manager was busy helping another model. So the person who was bringing Ryn around would not be Mei Li. Even Mika was impossible too as he knew with the wedding getting closer, she would be busy with the last-minute preparation.
It made him mad with jealousy.
"No need. I'm almost there," she said. She was oblivious to his stress. She looked for an empty parking lot and parked her new car in one.
She did not shut off the engine immediately. Instead, she just switched off the air-conditioner and opened all four windows. She got out of the car and quickly tore off all the plastic wrap in the car. She did not want to be so obvious that she just bought a car. In fact, after this, she planned to buy accessories for the car. And she needed to think of a name too.
She guessed even though she already bought a car, there were more things to do. She sighed.
She finally shut off the engine after she closed all four windows. Then, she put on the bag and gathered all the plastic wraps. She then locked the car and then looked for the rubbish bin to throw the plastic away.
She returned back to the car. Instead of unlocking and getting into the car, she went to the front. She took out her phone and opened the camera. She stepped backward so when she focussed on the car, it filled the frame nicely. She took a picture. And then, she set the camera for a selfie and made sure her face and the car were included nicely in the frame before she clicked the buŧŧon.
She checked both photos and smiled. But, she did not send those photos to anyone. Instead, she checked the time and decided that she should go to the restaurant now or they would not be able to have lunch there.
It was her luck when a table was empty right when she reached the restaurant. The manager recognized her and quickly brought her to the table as the cleaner left the table, bringing along the dirty dishes.
"Welcome Miss Ryn. Would you like to order now?" the manager asked politely. He was already holding the menu for her to choose from.
"I'm waiting for my friend," Ryn replied, "But please, a glass of water."
The manager nodded and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water for Ryn. Then, he excused himself and went to wait at the cashier counter.
She sipped the water while looking at his phone. She still did not upload the photos in her media social account nor show off at either Mika, Jeremy, or Mei Li. She simply checked how many people liked and commented on her posts. She smiled when the comments were nice but did not bat an eye when some left negative comments or scold her. She also ignored the sėxuȧŀ comment from those perverts.
Out of sight. Out of mind.
She was immersed in her checking when she heard some knocking against the table she was sitting at. She lifted up her head and saw Harry smiling at her.
"You're here," she said, smilingly gesturing for him to take a seat.
He took the seat facing her and nodded his head in thanks when the same manager approached them and handed the menu.
"What do you want to eat?" she asked before he could ask the same.
He lifted up his head and chuckled at her. Then, he looked back at the menu and started to order a set of today's special. He also asked for a beer to pair with the steak. Then, he handed the menu back to the manager and then watched as Ryn listed down several steaks she wanted to taste. A smile curled on his handsome face when he saw the manager trying to cover his shock at the number of steaks Ryn wanted to eat.
"You just shocked him, you know?" he told her once the manager left.
"So?" Ryn ċȯċked an eyebrow.
"Nothing," he shook his head. She did not find it weird to shock others with her appetite.
How could she be so cute and adorable?
"So, how's your work?" Ryn asked. As a senior in the modeling industry, she wanted to make sure he did not waste his time doing meaningless jobs although it was impossible with Mei Li as his manager.
"So far okay," he replied. He clasped his hands together and looked at her, "What about you?"
"In a month I will go to Paris," Ryn replied before frowning, "I need to discuss my working schedule before I start my training."
"You... you're going straight to practical training?" he gasped.
"Yeah. I've done all the credits I needed," Ryn nodded. She actually took quite a lot of subjects during her first year because she needed to keep busy. She did not join Harry's classes because she has already done the subjects Harry was doing in her previous semester and passed them all. She only needed to have her practical training before she could graduate.
And she could not wait to graduate so she could focus on her work... or find something that could fulfill her interest and at the same time give her money. Regardless of what her parents said about money, she still believed money could help her be happy by buying all those steaks she wanted to eat.
Steaks = happiness
"So... do you need any help?" he asked, his heart pounding hard as he waited for her to ask for his help. He would prefer if she asked if she could do the training with him at his family's company.
"I don't think so," her words made his hope crumble into tiny little pieces. Why was it so hard for her to ask for help? She knew he would do anything for her.
He looked at his hands gripped tightly under the table. He took a deep breath to calm down and smiled at her. There was no hint of the hurt on his face. "So, where are you going to do your training? Have you applied?"
Never give up before trying, that was his motto.
"I'll be helping Mika," Ryn answered truthfully. Mika already gave a hint that she wished to work with her and Ryn thought it was not wrong if she did her training there. While she was fulfilling the mandatory subject from the university to graduate and gain new experience, she could also help lighten Mika's workload. It would also help Mika toward full recovery, she believed.
"Oh," came the short reply from Harry. Now went the chance he was looking for. It seemed like he really lost any chance to make them closer. He knew once they start their training, the only time he could see her was when they were doing the same projects in modeling... if she was to still work as one during practical training. His father already reminded him that he could continue to model but he could only do it when he has no work in the company. His father was determined to train him to inherit the company.
