366 Food was more important than her boyfriend (2/2)

It seemed like they had to push the contractor to work faster on renovating Ryn's new house. She could not stay here longer without anyone trying to 'steal' her from them.

Luckily the men went out on the third floor. Mika blew out a sigh of relief seeing them going out. She was worried the men would stay until they reached their floor and saw where Ryn lived.

Tomorrow, Mika decided, they needed to go to the house to check the latest state of the house. As long as Ryn still refused to expose her relationship to the public and made it hard for Jeremy to live with her… wait… Mika scowled at the thought of Jeremy 'conquering' Ryn's time. She definitely did not like that, conveniently forgetting the fact that she would get married to Jason in just a few more months.

”What are we going to eat?” Ryn asked again after she unlocked the door and walked into her house with Mika following behind. Ryn looked at Mika sleepily.

Yes, she was still sleepy but her stomach was starting to ask for food.

Mika dropped the bags on the floor and sighed.

”Mika, are you okay?” Ryn asked. She finally noticed the scowl on her best friend's face. What was wrong with her now?

”I'm okay,” Mika murmured. She did not want Ryn to know what bothering her mind. She did not want Ryn to laugh at her. Yes, she knew she was being childish wanting to keep Ryn to herself, but what else she could do? She really cared about Ryn and wanted Ryn to be happy with her.

Ryn narrowed her eyes suspiciously but she did not ask much. She, again, shrugged it off and went to the kitchen. Was there something she could whip up quickly for their dinner?

”You really need to do your grocery,” Mika commented as she watched Ryn going through the cabinet and refrigerator. There was nothing to make except cereal. There was not even a slab of meat left!

”I guess so…” Ryn mumbled. She knew it already. She always planned to do the grocery but she always forgot to do so. She was too busy with her work until… well… she forgot.

”Well, do you want to go out for dinner? No. Not dinner. It's supper.” Mika asked before frowned, ”But I'm still full.”

”I just call a delivery,” Ryn decided. She was too exhausted to get out just for a meal. Besides, she could save some money with the drink.

Mika just nodded dumbly and without asking, went into the bedroom. She opened the cupboard and took out the pajama. She also grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom.

She needed a shower to clean the sweat off her. And at the same time, she needed the space alone to think of a good plan to help to block others from stealing Ryn away.

Ryn was unaware of what Mika was thinking. In fact, if she knew that Mika was worried someone else would 'steal' her away, she would be laughing at Mika's silliness. No one could steal her away without her permission. Heck, she was her own person. No one could own her.

Right now, all she could think of was her dinner. No. Not dinner, but supper. She took out her phone, planning to order something. But, her eyes widened when she noticed the amount of miscalled coming from Jeremy. He even left her messages.

Why didn't she notice any of it? She wondered silently.

And more importantly, why would he call her so many times?

”Whatever. I should order the food first,” she muttered and did just that. Food was more important right now for her.
