379 I dont need more of these things 2 (1/2)

”Mom, I have to go. I will call you later. Bye,” Ryn quickly said her goodbye. She did not think she could stop blushing once her mother decided to tease her.

”Bye, dear.” Her mother chuckled when she quickly ended the call. Maybe this time her daughter would open up her heart and accept Jeremy. And hopefully Jeremy would not hurt Ryn's feeling. She would not

mind having him as her son-in-law as long as he could take care and love Ryn as much as they taking care of their daughter.

Ryn blew out a sigh to calm herself. And then, she checked on the message from Mei Li. Her silly manager just realized the same date and time and apologized. But, at the same time, Mei Li actully gave her another proposal. Ryn shook her head in bemused. Why did it feel like this manager of hers taking her as the only model she was in charged with? Didn't she have a few more models under her belt? What about Harry? She did not think it was a problem to make him try applying for this brand even though it was a female product.

Ryn quickly typed her suggestion and sent to Mei Li. She did not notice the way she was treating Harry seemed special in others' eyes. In her mind, as a senior, she should help Harry improving himself and become a good model.

Ryn went into the shop once she was done and Mei Li agreed with her suggestion. She saw Jeremy already finished using his charm to calm the saleswoman down. Ryn bet he even took pictures with them in an exchange of not exposing their relationship.

”What do you think of this?” Jeremy asked when Ryn stopped beside him. He showed her a set of ruby red earring, necklace and ring.

Ryn fell in love with the set but thinking of how much they would cost dump cold water on her excitement. With a heavy feeling, she shook her head slightly, ”I have a lot of jewellery already. I don't need more of these things. Where can I wear them?”

Those who listened looked at Ryn weirdly. They never saw a woman refused to accept gift especially expensive jewellery from a man. Was this a tactic from the woman? Their heart could not stop from assuming.

Jeremy smiled. He knew she would reject it. The ones she received from her jobs and those Mika gave were stored in the extra room of her house. But this time, he would insist.

”Please. Take this as my birthday present to you. I lost two years of celebrating your birthday. Please.” His voice was quite low so only Ryn could hear him.

”But why these?” she still refused to accept. Where could she even wear them? She hadn't even worn the five sets Mika sent her previously.

”Why not?” he asked her back, refused to give in.

All the females and even the security watched without blinking as Jeremy kept persuading Ryn to accept his 'birthday gift'.

”Fine... fine... no need for those rings. I'll take the set. And please, no more. It's getting late. We still need to buy the grocery,” she said hurriedly, holding onto his arm to stop him from going to the other glass cabinet.

Jeremy grinned winningly. He made a show of handing his credit card to the one serving them, ”Pack them.”

Ryn crossed her arms and frowned. This was seriously her own fault. Maybe she should let Mika following them today. How stupid of her thinking that Jeremy deserve some time alone with her? Her earlier plan was to spend time with him at his place and after a few hours, she would take a taxi or he would send her home. On the way, she would go to the grocery store to buy some food. She was still optimistic when she decided to ask him along for the grocery shopping so they could both buy what they needed. But now... she could only blame herself for being too... soft hearted.

”I think we can't no longer hide our relatinship now,” he whispered as they left the shop.

”This is your real plan, right?” she accused with narrowed eyes. Even though he said he would give her time to accept him back but his action spoke the opposite. And he kept playing dumb when she pointed it out.

”I have no idea what you're talking about,” again he played dumb. But he couldn't hide the glint in his eyes when he looked down at the paper-bag with the jewellery logo on it.
