"She did what?" Mei Li cried in shock once Ryn finished explaining what happened in the restaurant just now."I think she"s gone crazy after Jeremy did not accept her feeling... and did not even spare her feeling and reputation by suing her," Ryn commented, rubbing her stomach sadly. Because of what happened just now, she could not even eat her fill. There were still two plates of food left on the table but she was too worried about her safety to finish everything.
"She is crazy. I can"t believe n.o.body called the police to put her behind the bar. She is dangerous to everyone!" Mei Li was starting to get hysterical. She was blaming herself as well. She should follow Ryn instead of staying here to watch over other charges. She should provide her with an a.s.sistant.
"Her company might try something funny to clear back her name so I think you should prepare to handle it," Ryn suggested. This was the reason why she told Mei Li what happened. She did not want her manager to be taken aback when Jennifer"s company make a move.
"Don"t worry. I know what to do. Hmm... you did say a lot of people recording the quarrel?" Mei Li asked for confirmation.
"Yes. A lot of people," Ryn nodded. She was relieved actually when those who recorded what happened were eager to agree with her and even told the managers what happened when being asked.
"Then, I will contact the hotel for their report," Mei Li decided. She would check the media social for the videos. She had no doubt those people would start uploading any minutes now. Especially when Jennifer kept screaming her name, so it would be logical to think the video would have her name in the t.i.tle.
"I suggest for you to tell Jeremy too because Jennifer will pull his name in her revenge," Mei Li suggested.
"Hmm... I"ll tell him after I"m done with the meeting," Ryn said. She knew if she called him now, she would not be able to eat (one thing) and would forget about the time and might miss the meeting.
"Catherine!"
"What?"
"Don"t take this lightly. This time she did not manage to hurt you but next time? And she would do anything to hurt you, even making false stories about you just to ruin your name."
"I know. Believe me, I know how important this is but I need to eat. And I need to prepare myself for the meeting. I don"t want to be late for the meeting," Ryn pointed out.
"Hmph... you have so many excuses. I can"t win against you," Mei Li muttered.
"Don"t worry, Mei Li. Nothing bad will happen to me here. They won"t dare to create any more trouble," Ryn coaxed.
"Hmm... just... just be careful, okay? I couldn"t come to you. So many contracts to check especially for that Harry. And I need to accompany him for his audition," Mei Li sighed.
"Oh... tell him good luck from me. I was too busy to help him with his walk. I hope he practices a lot," Ryn said, remembering how much Harry improved the next time she asked him to show his walking. Hmm... maybe after this she will check his poses as well. In order to make him a better model, it is important to share all the tips and tricks. As his senior, it is her job to help him.
"I will. It seems like you"re worried about him the most," Mei Li commented without thinking. Then, she bit her lower lip, feeling weird with the way she said it. Did Ryn have any feeling on Harry? Was this the reason why Ryn gave special treatment at Harry? She kept wanting to teach Harry with his walk and pose.
Oh no, what about Jeremy?
"Of course," Ryn replied. Her eyes brightened seeing a familiar paper bag. Then, with pounding heart, she reached for the bag with one hand while another still holding her phone firmly at the ear.
She used the same hand to open the paper bag to look inside. She licked her lips hungrily seeing the already cold fried dough. Food. Delicious food!
"Don"t tell me you like him," Mei Li cried. She was already nervous. It was always dangerous when two models in the same company in a relations.h.i.+p. If the relations.h.i.+p ended with a happy ending, it was good but if they broke up, the company would have a headache as well.
But most importantly, what about Jeremy?
"He"s my senior in university and my junior in modelling. He is my friend. Of course, I need to help him especially when I was the reason he went into the modelling world," Ryn answered. She did not think much about Mei Li"s question. It was a normal reaction by her manager but it did not mean much.
Besides, she"s with Jeremy now.
She started chewing the bread happily but still not disconnecting the call. Mei Li could just tell her whatever she wanted.
"What are you doing, Ryn?" Mei Li asked suspiciously. Why was there sound of chewing from that side?
"Fried twisted dough," Ryn replied simply. She had a huge smile on her face as she enjoyed the fattening food. It was already hard but still delicious.
"Ryn!"
"What?" Ryn looked around for her drink. She just remembered she bought a bottle of cola too and hadn"t drunk that one yet. With her still clean hand, she tapped the screen to make the call on speaker. Then, she went to get the cola from the bar. She poured the cola into the mug provided and sipped it happily.
Ahh... this is what breakfast should be. Fried twisted dough paired with cold cola. Yum~
"Don"t eat too much. You have to go to the meeting later," Mei Li reminded.
"I need to be full before I can go to the meeting," Ryn argued back.
"Ryn, is this why you always want to go alone to jobs? Why you don"t want me to follow you? Why you don"t want an a.s.sistant to accompany you?" Mei Li cried.
"Of course. You just realize it?" Ryn was not ashamed to admit it. With Mei Li around, everything she ate would be watched over and even though she still could eat her beloved steaks, it would not as many as she wanted. How could she stay full with only one or two pieces of steaks? And why must she eat bunny food (vegetable)?
