Tell Me Again, My Love

Of course, he knew about her plan to sell some of the shares to Ryn so they could work together. He approved it and even planned to sell some of his shares so that three of them could still own the company and Ryn would feel like one of the owners in the company.

He already ordered Jacob, his personal a.s.sistant to proceed with the agreement and all the details he already worked with his a.s.sistant so none of the three had any disadvantage when the shares moved.

He told Jason about his decision and ignoring Jason"s argument, Jeremy simply cut the conversation. He still needed to call his Ryn and tell her about his decision. And he knew she was waiting for him at home. She would not move without knowing who would go to the shooting.

Now, it was time to coax his Ryn to agree with his decision. He stopped at the couch instead of walking out of his office. He crossed his legs and frowned. How to tell her and make her agree?

It took only one ring before her call being answered. He quickly smiled, hoping the smile was delivered through the phone straight into her heart.

Yes, it was stupid but he was optimistic and full of hope.

"h.e.l.lo, love," he greeted.

"How is it, Jeremy? Can you help me with the filming?" Ryn asked hurriedly. She was so stressed waiting for his call. So when her phone rang and his name appeared on the screen, she quickly slid the screen to answer it.

"About that…" he paused, just wanting to make her nervous. It was enjoyable listening to her but of course, he did not want to make her suffer. "I"ve arranged everything."

"Really, Jeremy? Thank goodness you are here to help me," Ryn cried. She checked the time and found she still had time to buy a ticket bus to go to her parents. She could leave for the evening trip and would reach her parents" home around night.

"Are you still at home? How do you plan to go to your parents"?" he asked rather innocently.

"I"m taking the bus. I think there is one for the evening and I will reach home at night, I think. And then, tomorrow morning I will pull dad to the hospital so I can hear what the doctor say myself."

"Can you wait for half an hour?" he asked, his mind was busy thinking what he should do to make his plan worked perfectly.

"Why, J?" she asked in puzzled. Why would he ask her to wait for another half an hour?

What was in his mind?

"Just wait, okay? Don"t worry. Everything will be alright."

"But… J…" she was puzzled, completely puzzled with his weird request.

"Bye, love."

Jeremy quickly went to Jacob"s table and silently let out a relieved sigh when he saw his a.s.sistant was still at his table. He quickly told him and the others to keep sitting when Jacob and the others quickly stood up.

"Yes, Boss?" Jacob asked nervously.

"I"m going away for several days. Send the files for me to check online. Mika will help to handle the company but if it requires me to decide, I will discuss it with Mika. All the same as usual," Jeremy broke the news.

"Again, boss?" Jacob"s eyes widened and he quickly covered his mouth.

Jeremy c.o.c.ked an eyebrow.

"I"m sorry, boss," Jacob apologized hurriedly. He was scared his boss heard what he slipped up just now.

"I won"t talk about your mistake if you keep doing your job right," Jeremy murmured. His finger was tapping on Jacob"s table.

"Yes, boss. Of course, boss," Jacob even stood up and bowed at Jeremy hurriedly. He was relieved when Jeremy did not punish for his mistake just now. How could he even say that right in front of his own boss?

"Good. You can contact me via phone if anything happens. I"m leaving now," Jeremy said as he straightened up.

"Okay, boss."

Jeremy did not waste any more time here. He needed to go to Ryn before she changed her mind and took a bus.

Hence, exactly half an hour, the time he asked her to wait for him, he arrived in front of the apartment. He checked the time and sighed in relief. Just right on time.

He took out his phone and speed-dialled her number. He sighed again when she answered the call on the second ring.

"Hey, love," he greeted for the third time. His mood lifted just to hear her voice.

"So, how is it? Will everything be okay?" she asked hurriedly.

"Hmm… I"m waiting downstairs," he said simply. He chuckled when she sputtered something unintelligent. She must be shocked when she knew about his arrival. He did not tell her earlier so it was no wonder she was taken aback with his behaviour.

"Jeremy, are you fooling with me? Is this a joke?" she choked out, finally able to speak a coherent sentence.

"It"s not, love. I"m downstairs. I"ll help you," he chuckled. His other hand tapping the steering wheel, waiting for her agreement to go downstairs.

"But… but…" it seemed like she still could not stop from sputtering. What was wrong with her today? What was wrong with everyone today?

"Just come down. Bring your bag along. And check all the electrical items. Make sure you switch off everything and lock the door," he reminded before grinned, "Or do you want me to go upstairs and help you check?"

"No… no… no-no… NO," she disagreed quickly. She did not want him to come upstairs. What if someone from her university saw him? It would create more rumour about her. No. No more rumour. No more gossip. She had enough of this.

"So, I"ll be waiting for you," he grinned. "Just right in front of the entrance, as usual."

"Give me ten minutes," she said finally, unwillingly. Why was she not even surprised when he did this? She should expect him to do this.

Once she ended the call, well, more like cutting the conversation with a loud groan, she went to grab her bag. Then, she checked all the electrical compartments before she left the house. Once she was satisfied, she quickly left the house, heading downstairs toward Jeremy who was waiting for her with a huge grin on his face. She could not stop grumbling under her breath. Why did she give way to him again and let him do whatever he wanted… again?

He was smiling when she saw him. He took the bag from her hand without saying a word. He put it in the bonnet, alongside his bag. He always had a bag in his car completed with two sets of clothes for days and two sets for the nights. Everything he needed was in the bag.

"What do you have in mind right now, J?" she asked once both entered the car. She put on the seat belt while giving him a questioning look. He did not tell her anything except whistling happily when he put the bag into the bonnet and got into the driver seat.

It was frustrating to be truth. He was frustrating her so much, she felt like screaming.

"What I have in mind?" he asked with a sly smile.

She crossed her arms and frowned. She was not ready to smile or giggle. There was a lot of questions in her mind.

"Don"t worry. I"ve arranged everything," he said while patting her thigh.

"The reason behind my worry when you refuse to tell me anything. I don"t think it"s fair to make your own decision without discussing it with me. This is regarding my life," she muttered.

He laughed listening to her words. She sounded like a childish kid sulking when unable to get her favourite candy.

"I"ve arranged everything. Mika will help you with the shooting. I will help by bringing you to your parents," he told her cheerfully.

"What? How? Does Mika agree with this? Mei Li?" Ryn asked hurriedly. She was puzzled on how Jeremy pull everything in just a short of time. Was he lying at her?

"Mika has agreed so don"t worry about her. Jason will help bringing her to the studio. About Mei Li, I haven"t told her yet and was hoping for you to do the honour," he explained, not hiding anything from her.

"I"ll call her now. She must be worried too right now," Ryn took out her phone and dialled Mei Li"s number. She had to wait for a while before her manager answer the call.

"Mei Li, h.e.l.lo," Ryn greeted hurriedly.

"h.e.l.lo, Ryn. What is it? Have you told Jeremy? Has he agreed?" Mei Li asked without wasting another moment.

"About that… err…" Ryn paused, not knowing how to explain the latest plan.

"Yes?"

"Mika will help me to go to the show. Please help her."

"Miss Long? What about Young Master Long? Jeremy?" Mei Li asked in puzzled. Wasn"t Jeremy supposed to go to the show?

"No. He will not go to the show. In fact, he will help me with my dad. And I hope you can keep this a secret, please," she requested.

"Wh… Oh… Err…" Mei Li was stunned, she did not know what to say.

"We"re on the way to my parents" now. If anything wrong, just contact me, okay?" Ryn said with a heavy heart. She was a bit worried leaving Mika doing her job. But then again, she was worried if she did not see her father.
