276 The point of the lawsui (2/2)
”No.”
Not only Jason was shocked with the short answer, everyone in the meeting room was taken back too. Their boss did not watch the video but decided to take lawsuit toward the sender and the crazy woman?
”Anyway, we're joining you for the press conference. Is it okay on your side?” Jeremy asked.
”Yeah, sure. In three more hours at the Golden Horse Hotel. We've invited the media,” Jason agreed immediately and gave the location and time.
”Good. Our team is suing too so there will be two lawsuits.”
”Okay. We take note.”
Jeremy handed back the phone to Mika after he talked about the press conference preparation with Jason.
”Is the food here yet?” Jeremy asked after he looked at the document prepared by the lawyer.
”What food?” Mika mumbled. She stretched her arms to ease the tiredness.
”Jacob, go check the door,” Jeremy told his assistant.
”Yes, sir,” Jacob quickly stood up and went out. He was wondering what his boss meant by asking him to wait at the door. Were they waiting for someone?
He did not have to wait long when three men came out from the elevator bringing bags of food and…
”Coffee…” Jacob's eyes sparkled when he smelled the familiar delicious drink.
Did boss order for them? He knew they were exhausted and hungry and ordered food and coffee for them?
*~*~*~*
Ryn rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around. Ah… she slept in Jeremy's bed last night.
”And I agreed to give him another chance,” she murmured slowly.
She pushed the blanket off her and stood on the floor. Then, she leaned down to do the bed. Then, she walked into the bathroom, pausing for a second to pluck the sticky note from the mirror.
He already arranged a new set of a toothbrush for her and she used it to brush her teeth. Once she was done using the bathroom, she walked downstairs to the dining table.
”He didn't eat?” she frowned when she saw none of the food was consumed. Even the cup he arranged for him to use while having breakfast with her still clean.
”Is something wrong in the office?” she blurted out without thinking but quickly shook her head. He must be forgotten something at the office and needed it for work.
She sat down and poured herself a cup of coffee. She scooped some of the porridge into the bowl and reached for the fried dough. He bought her favourite and she was happy for it.
She was still enjoying her food when she heard familiar music. She frowned and stood up, still with a piece of fried dough in her hand. She looked around and saw a familiar phone lying on the couch.
Ryn frowned. Did she leave her phone there?
She used her clean hand to get her phone and slid a finger to unlock it.
”So many missed calls and messages,” her eyes widened when she saw the notification. Luckily the battery did not die but she was confused why she did not hear any of the calls and messages last night.
”I must be too exhausted,” she told herself, not once suspect this was the work of her newly agreed boyfriend. She checked the callers before decided to call her mother first.
”Hello, mother,” she greeted when the call was through. Her mother did not call her at all but she really needed to call to inform her parents they have arrived.
”Ryn, you've just arrived?” her mother asked weirdly.
”We've arrived yesterday but I was too tired, mother. I'm sorry,” Ryn apologized. She wanted to rub her nape sheepishly, only to remember the fried dough she still holding, she quickly bit into them.
”Are you eating?” her mother asked when she heard the chewing sound from her daughter. She shook her head in bemused. Ryn would never change.
”Hmm… I'm having my breakfast,” Ryn replied. She walked back to the dining table and reached for the coffee.
”Do you have work today?” her mother asked.
”My first driving class,” Ryn answered excitedly.
”You're learning how to drive?” her mother choked in shock. Her daughter finally wanted to learn how to drive?
”Yes.”
Her mother wanted to say something but held her tongue. Could her daughter forget the trauma and start driving?
