Chapter 633 - Three new script!
"You will audition for Evalyn's role?" After their heart to heart talk, Rika ate the breakfast Jai made for her while she showed him the script she read last night.
"Well," Chewing her food down, her brows raised briefly as she shrugged.
"Do you want to co with you?" Before she could reply with a complete answer, Jai inquired.
Rika furrowed her brows. When she swallowed down her food. Rika asked,
"How about work?" Her eyes never left him as she picked up the glass of water and drank it.
"Oh, right? I sent my resignation letter weeks ago. They approved it this morning."
Rika nearly choked on the water. She coughed, letting out the waters that were forced out of her mouth.
"Hey, careful." Worried, Jai patted her back as he looked at her worriedly.
When she recovered, Rika scoffed as she blinked her eyes and asked in disbelief. "You… resigned?"
"I want to surprise you, so I didn't ntion it. I decided I want to spend more ti with you. I can continue working in the clinic." Jai explained with a smile, still stroking her back gently.
For a minute, Rika processed his last remarks in silence. Not that she wasn't happy. In fact, she was excited! But…
"The clinic…? You an…" She raised her brows.
Getting her hints, he could not help but chuckle. After all, they t at the sa clinic; back when Lexi got pregnant and wanted to keep her pregnancy as private as possible.
"Honey," she sighed, bouncing closer to him. "It's not that I don't trust you, but you know... "
Rika tapped her forefinger against each other, casting him an adorable puppy eye.
"You have a wife now and this might sound childish, but can you co back when your wife is ready to compromise?"
"Haha. I already planned to. Don't worry." He smiled, patting her head as he already thought about it long and hard.
Since Jai had beco busy with not just work but seminars during the past year, he wanted to take so ti off. Obviously, that d.e.s.i.r.e to make it up to her just grew stronger.
"Aww…" Moved, Rika squeezed herself into him.
Hearing him say such words and knowing he still loved her made her feel everything was worth it. That holding onto him, believing in their marriage, and trusting this love was all worth fighting for.
"I love you, honey." As she embraced him, she whispered with a content smile.
"I love you more. Sorry if I neglected you for a long ti." Jai's eyes softened, casually stroking her back.
Just then, a notification sound from her laptop reached their ears. Unconsciously, both of them gazed at the laptop where Jai was reading the script.
"You have a mail. Wait, let --"
"It's nothing." Before Jai could break away from her embrace, Rika frowned and ignored it.
"It might be important." Chuckling, Jai gazed down and left a peck on top of her head. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
He added with reassurance. Reluctantly, Rika let him go, and he grabbed the laptop before sitting beside her.
"You should check it…" He trailed off as Rika interrupted him.
"You check it. I'll eat." Since she wasn't hiding anything from him and knowing Jai, who respected her privacy despite being married, Rika urged.
Rika had been receiving a lot of mails from Abigail and offers from other companies. Yet, she never replied to any of them, as she wasn't ready to make a coback.
"Alright," Jai nodded.
He then checked the mails. Seeing it was Abigail's na, he glanced at Rika.
"Its three new scripts from Manager Fan." He inford and read the titles. "The Superstar's Bride, The Grim reaper and I, and Wild Young Princess: Mister, let's sleep?"
Jai furrowed his brows and comnted. "That's a long title."
"Trash the first one. But, let's read the rest?" With little interest at the first script, Rika's eyes brimd with excitent as she cast him an expectant look.
"You don't like the first one?" asked Jai, as he glanced at her.
"No, not that I don't like it. It just sounds cliché and just reminds of Eli's problem." Rika waved and saw Jai look at her as if he was waiting for her to fill him in.
She cleared her throat, taking a deep breath as she recalled her brief talk with Eli.
"You see, Eli's grandma had a heart attack last night. You know her, she's been worried about her favorite grandson and wants him to settle down."
Rika started explaining. Jai listened in silence, nodding as he got the good grasp of their good friend's predicant.
"At the mont's spur, that stupid, idiot Mister Gong, lied and told her he's dating seriously now."
"Oh…" Jai's eyes raised his brows, casting Rika a knowing, shocked look. Rika let out another sigh as she was as shocked as Jai when she heard it.
"Yeah, I know. So, last night, he called and asked to find him a fake bride. Gosh… that idiot. He should have admitted it to her, but he couldn't. Afraid she would have another heart attack. The doctor said she might not survive another attack."
When Rika finished summarizing her dear but stupid's friend's dilemma, both husband and wife sighed. Eli was a dear friend to them. Especially for Jai. He owed him a lot because Eli had been there for Rika when Jai wasn't.
Also, part of Jai felt bad because at one point, he looked at Eli as his competition. After all, Rika and Eli might bicker a lot of ti, but their chemistry was perfect. If not for his wife's devotion and unconditional love, Jai would have his suspicion.
"This is why I don't lie. It cos back ten tis more stressful than ever." Rika muttered, and Jai could never disagree.
"A fake bride… Did he think marriage is a joke? Gosh!" she added, cl.i.c.k.i.n.g her tongue as she was torn between helping him or lecturing him.
"Maybe, Ethan knows a few… I'm sorry. Nevermind." With his strong d.e.s.i.r.e to help, Jai thought about Ethan.
However, as fast as the idea ca up, the faster it faded away.
"Don't tell Ethan, honey. You know him. He will either tell it to Grandma Gong or straight up to bury Eli himself. But, I'll ask for Lexi's help." Rika replied, and both husband and wife let out a sigh.
