Chapter 456 - A childish him (2/2)

He smiled boyishly once he got his kiss. He dropped another kiss on top of her head before went to do what she asked earlier; brewing the coffee.

She facepalmed. Why was he being so childish early in the morning? Didn't he see how busy she was preparing for their breakfast?

”Silly,” she murmured, shaking her head in bemused. She continued with her cooking, plating the scrambled eggs as well as scooping the curry. She checked the rice in the rice cooker and nodded her approval when it was done. Just right on time. Only the pudding was still not ready. No matter. She would pack them for his snack.

She brought the food to the dining table. She already arranged for the cutleries and a jug of cold water. A glass for the water and a cup with a saucer for the coffee.

He was at the table but he was looking at his iPad. She frowned but she did not ask him. It must be about work.

She checked the time. If he started to eat now, he would not be late for work.

She waited for a minute or two but when it seemed like he would not stop, she took the iPad and c.o.c.ked an eyebrow when he looked at her in shock.

”Have breakfast first then you can go to work,” she told him firmly.

He looked at the table and realized everything was ready. He shrugged and reached for his bowl of rice.

She smiled and started eating too. They spent their breakfast eating without another word in between.

If Mika was there, she would surely complain that they're behaving like old couple again.

They worked together washing the dishes. Then, he went upstairs to get ready for work, even bringing his iPad along. She went to the living room. Instead of watching the television, she just sat on the couch and sighed.

”Are you sure you don't want me to send you to work?” He asked for the tenth time. He was standing at the living room, facing her who was still sitting on the couch.

”Yes. You should go now or Jacob will be fretting in the office,” she replied.

He gave her a sad look again. He was hoping she would change her mind and ask him to accompany her. But she did not, unfortunately.

She stood up and hugged him. It was the only way she could think of to appease him. Silently she wondered why he was being so clingy today. He was not like this usually.

After a hug and two kisses, he finally was willing to leave. She let out a heavy sigh. It felt exhausted today with his sudden clinging behavior.

*~*~*~*

Ryn smiled as she waited for her turn. Once she received the signal, she started to walk along the runway. As the route was not straight like usual and they walked in two, Ryn needed to rember which route she needed to use.

Once she returned to the back stage, she rushed to change into another dress as one of the hairstylists quickly changed a little bit of her hairstyle to suit the dress. Even the makeup artist was waiting for her to be done with the dress to reapply the lipstick and making sure the makeup was still good. It was a mess but a good mess in her mind.

”What time is it now?” She asked as she sipped her drink. She was finally done with four dresses and she was exhausted. Relieved but tired. Try walking in high heels so confidentally and gracefully on the runway but running like a runner in a sports competition at the backstage. Her feet were killing her too.

”Almost 3?” One of the models replied. She was actually checking her phone so it was easy for her to answer Ryn's question.

”3?” Ryn's eyes widened. Oh no, Mei Li must be waiting for her outside. Instead of waiting here, Mei Li decided to go back to the office to finish some of the works while waiting for her to be done and would come pick her up once she was done. But as she was too busy strutting her stuff on the runway and her bad habit of silencing her phone in her bag, she lost the time. ”I need to go now.”

”You're not going to the celebrating party?” The same model asked.

”I'm sorry. Tell them I'm sorry. I have to rush to the airport,” Ryn said. She reached her bag and took out her phone. Just as she thought, she has so many miscalls and messages from both Mei Li and Mika. Uh oh...

She put on her shoes and rushed to the door.

The model shook her head seeing Ryn rushing. It was funny seeing her acting this way. Then, she turned back her attention to her phone, chatting with her fans.
