214 The wedding dress 01 (2/2)

Exactly half an hour later Mika called. Ryn took several seconds to remember where she was and what she was supposed to do. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and reached for the ringing phone.

”Hello?”

”Ryn, I'm already downstairs. Hurry up,” Mika called cheerfully.

”Hmm... Give me for a few minutes,” Ryn murmured and disconnected the call.

She quickly went to the bathroom to freshen herself and then changed her clothes into a shirt and jeans, her usual outfit when going out or going to class. She also put on a cap she chose randomly from the cap box. She did not unpack it, too lazy to repack back everything when the time came for her to move into her real home. She checked her appearance for the last time and with a bottle of water in one hand and her mobile phone in another, she went to the main entrance. She looked around for the last time before walked through the door and locked it. Then, she went to the elevator.

When the door for the elevator was opened, Ryn's eyes widened to see several women inside. She let out a sigh but still stepped into it.

”You?” Irene choked out, her eyes widened.

Ryn turned around backing them. She looked ahead, trying to ignore Irene.

”Hey, I'm talking to you? Are you deaf?” Irene's voice turned into a shriek, which made her friends winced.

Irene's mood turned bad again once she saw Ryn. What did they do to deserve this?

”Hey!” Irene's hand touched Ryn's shoulder. She planned to pull Ryn's backwards to give her a lesson.

Her friends, upon seeing her action, quickly made space for Ryn to fall. They did not want to suffer because of Ryn!

However, contrary to Irene's plan, Ryn did not fall back. In fact, she took Irene's hand and bent it backwards, making Irene cried in pain.

Her friends froze, did not know how to react seeing Irene's plan backfired.

”If you think being a bully can make everyone obey you, you are wrong,” Ryn muttered coldly as she turned around and pushed Irene's hand away.

The women took a step back receiving the cold glare. They shivered, feeling cold suddenly.

”Being in the industry, there are eyes and ears everywhere. If you want to stay longer, watch everything you do,” Ryn warned as the door opened. Without saying another word, she stepped out, leaving them still in shock.

Ryn was still fuming when she saw Mika's car. Without another word, she got into the car and pulled the safety belt.

”Hey, what's wrong?” Mika asked. She could sense something was wrong but could not guess the reason behind Ryn's bad mood.

”Just drive,” Ryn ordered.

She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. She could not believe the nerve of Irene. She did not notice how unreasonable Irene was during their friendship and now, she felt like she did not know her. Heck, she barely knew each one of them. And they complained and accused her of hiding secrets from them?

Were they playing jokes? How much more hypocrite could they be?

Mika kept glancing at her best friend but did not dare to say a word. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. Her mind was thinking hard how to make her best friend felt better. She hated seeing Ryn not happy. She hated seeing Ryn now having a good mood. She prefered her best friend to smile and happy all the time.

She also glanced at her GPS system to make sure they were on the right track. She did not want them to get lost just because she was worried about Ryn!

”Do you... do you want to listen to any song?” Mika asked finally. She could not handle the silence anymore. She prayed Ryn would say okay.

”No,” Ryn replied shortly.

”Oh...” Mika's mood was getting worst. She hated being stuck in this situation where she knew something was wrong with Ryn but did not know what exactly that made Ryn so unhappy, she refused to listen to any song.

So frustrating!
