297 I am so stupid (2/2)

Despite Mika's reluctant to invite these socialites to her events but these women were her clients and she had to fake her dislike to gather them whenever she had a new collection to show.

”We ate a bunch of hypocrites, old brother,” she commented dryly whenever she was exhausted facing these women during events. He could only smile and rubbed her head to comfort her.

”Do you know they tried to run away?” Jeremy asked.

”Mr He second wife wanted to have an extravagant birthday celebration in the Maldives with all her close friends and Mr He even used the money from us to support the celebration. He realized he could not cover the cost when the company needed to pay for the construction materials.

”How much has the project complete?” Jeremy asked.

”About 50%.”

Jeremy sighed. His hands gripped tightly. Maybe He Daiji thought he would not do anything because he was still young and so-called 'inexperience' in his eyes. But he was wrong.

”Have you called the police about this?” Jeremy asked.

”Yes, sir. I would like to know if you want to go there. There is an evening flight available.”

”Bring the lawyer too and you, Jacob. You will follow me,” Jeremy said.

”Yes, sir. I will prepare everything.”

”And send people to observe He Daiji and his family. Don't let them leave the country,” Jeremy said.

”Yes, sir,” Jacob quickly bowed his head and headed outside. He needed to contact the men to go to the He residence and company. He also needed to contact the lawyer and book the tickets. About the police, he needed to call the person in charge to inform about their arrival so the police could tell them the progress of the case.

It would be a hectic day for him but he was already used with it. He even needed to pack some documents so the boss could read and make decisions about them during the journey.

Jeremy cracked his neck and stretched his arms and back. Despite mooning over Rynb, he needed to finish some of his work. Handling the Green Island problem would take more of his time and hopefully it would distract him from missing Ryn so much.

He sighed.

”Ryn, what are you doing now, sweetheart? Are you missing me? Why don't you quickly come home so we can be together?”

*~*~*~*

Ryn dropped on the bed tiredly. She was beyond exhausted. She did not even have the mood to have a shower to clean herself from all the sweats and dirt she gathered the whole day. All she could think of was sleeping.

Despite the tiredness, her hand reached for her mobile phone. She still needed to recharge both her phone and her power bank. It would be a disaster if the phone suddenly died during her work. Hence, she pushed herself to crawl to the socket and connected both phone and power bank to it.

”Done,” she murmured tiredly and crawled back to the centre of the bed. Then, she promptly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

For the whole week, all she did was working and flying to the next work destination. She barely registered what day it was. She depended on her phone for her schedule always set an hour before to arrive at each destination, including the airport.

Three more weeks to go before she could return. And none of the notes she brought she has time to read. He schedule was too full for her to steal the time for some reading.

Three hours later her alarm clock made a loud noise and she woke up. Barely opening her eyes, she walked to the bathroom to clean herself as quickly as possible and put on her clothes. She stole some time to wash her underwear and a pair of shirt and pants. She almost ran out of clean clothes and did not want to wear dirty clothes to work in. Another pair was enough for her to survive tomorrow and tonight she planned to wash all the clothes she has left.

”Time to go,” she tried to cheer herself in the mirror after she was done with the washing and hanging them. Now she was ready to go to work.

”One more day to survive,” she murmured. Three more weeks to go.

Whose stupid ideas to accept all these jobs? Oh yes, it was her. She should blame herself for being so kind-hearted and accepted so many jobs back to back without a break.

I am so stupid, she scolded herself.
