“It happens that my colleagues have been asking me to have you treat them to a meal.” Mireya’s mouth twitched. “I’ve been to my colleagues’ places for meals a few times. It’s time you treated them to a meal.”
“In that case… I have to do it. I’ll book a private room tonight.” Ryan promptly said, “I’ll book one near your office so that it’s convenient for everyone. How many people will be coming?”
“I don’t plan to invite Cate and the rest. Just those in the lab… Seven to eight colleagues.”
“Alright. We’ll go for karaoke after dinner.”
Soon after, Ryan sent her the address of the restaurant.
Mireya shared it with her laboratory colleagues in their WhatsApp group.
By the time Mireya and her colleagues headed over to the restaurant together after work, Ryan was already there. He was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a black sweater with a white T-shirt underneath. The buttons were left undone.
Mireya had not seen him for two days, and he had cut his hair short. Under his short hair were a nice forehead and a pair of bright eyes.
Mireya darted a glance at Ryan. Before she could scream, her assistant, Elena Shanks, who was two years her junior, shrilled beside her ear.
“Oh my gosh! Miss Lynch, there’s a handsome man standing there. He’s like a cute puppy. Oh no, my heart is racing so madly that I’m almost breathless.”
“….”
Mireya blinked and followed Elena’s gaze. Her eyes then rested on Ryan.
¡®Ahem. So Ryan is the man whom Elena was referring to.’
¡®§¯§Ñ…’
¡®Acute puppy?;
She nearly cracked up.
However, she had to admit that Ryan started dressing even younger after he stopped working for the government.
In particular, he looked less mature, and his face seemed more childish after he had his hair cut short.
As a woman, Mireya was rather proud of him.
After all, those women found her boyfriend handsome…
“You’re here.” As soon as Ryan saw Mireya, his lips curled into a grin, and he strode toward her.
“I’ve ordered the dishes.”
As he was speaking, he draped his arm across Mireya’s shoulders spontaneously.
The colleagues behind Mireya were astonished, let alone Elena.
“Mireya, is this… your boyfriend?” Everyone was stunned.
“Yeah. Can’t all of you recognize me?” Ryan wore a gentle and friendly smile.
All the women on the spot blushed, and their hearts were pounding. Even the older women were no exception.
After all, everyone was aware that the man standing before them was the prime minister’s son. They had come across those in wealthy families who were all condescending people.
Even Shaun, who always came to pick Cate up, looked serious. He would only soften when he saw her.
PlayvolumeAd However, Ryan was amicable and did not put on airs despite having an unusual identity. Above all, he was… really handsome.
“Ahem. Young Master Snow, you always wore a mask every time you came. We’ve never taken a good look at your face before.”
Mrs. Grace spoke frankly. Most importantly, Ryan always dressed maturely, so those women thought Mireya’s mysterious boyfriend was in his 30s.
“I’ve wanted to take off my mask for a long time, but someone didn’t allow me to do so.” Ryan threw a loving look at the woman in his arms.
Mireya rolled her eyes at him and sulked. “It’s because of your unusual identity. Nobody would dare to be with you.”
“Yeah. It’s very bold of you to get together with me, darling. Thank you.”
Ryan said with a sincere look on his face.
At the sight of the scene, everyone felt that the two of them were showing off their relationship.
“Let’s go in.” Ryan then called out to everyone.
After they took their seats, Ryan opened a beer bottle and said shrewdly, “Don’t be nervous. Since all of you are Mireya’s colleagues, you can take me as an ordinary person. Plus, I’ve resigned. My career isn’t any better than yours.”
“Young Master Snow, please don’t say that,” The oldest professor, Professor Xavier, hurriedly said, “Although you’ve resigned, your future will be bright given your competence. You’re a lot better than us, who work in the lab every day.”
“You’re Professor Xavier, aren’t you? Mireya always mentions you, saying that you’re very capable,” Ryan said with a gentle smile. “Personally, I find research the most difficult industry. I particularly admire all of you for your ability to bear with boredom, perseverance, and active exploration.”
Professor Xavier waved his hand awkwardly. “All we do is deal with cosmetic products. It’s nothing great.”
“Please don’t say that. To research good cosmetic products, you need to be equipped with knowledge about biology, plants, and medicine. Learning things from these few areas is much more difficult.”
Ryan said frankly, “Also, stop calling me Young Master Snow. It’s weird to hear that. Just call me Ryan. Since Mireya works with you, we’ll meet each other very often.”
At first, Mireya was worried that everyone was nervous and that she would need to break the ice. However, it turned out that there was nothing she had to do after she took her seat.
On top of that, Ryan was knowledgeable, so he soon brought up the popular professors in the fields of medicine and biology.
The conversations started shortly, and Ryan was already mingling with everyone.
After the dishes were served, Ryan put some food on Mireya’s plate while chatting with everyone. Sometimes, they would clink their glasses.
All in all, the dishes were delicious, and Ryan had become familiar with Mireya’s colleagues. He even saved their numbers.
….
After dinner, Ryan invited everyone for karaoke, but they turned him down perceptively.
“It’s still early. Both of you can go on a date,” Professor Xavier said with a grin. “Mireya, your boyfriend is wonderful. Please bring him over to my place for a meal next time.”
Mireya secretly sighed. Aside from work, not many could mingle with 50-year-old Professor Xavier, but Ryan was an exception.
After seeing everyone off, Mireya harrumphed and jogged the man beside her with her elbow. “Not bad. All the women are fond of you, including my 20-year-old assistant and a 50-year-old woman. Ryan, you have quite the skill.”
“It’s because they’re your colleagues.” Ryan wrapped his hand around her waist intimately. “I’m usually quite aloof in social functions, but I acted that way today for your sake. Anyway, your colleagues are pretty nice. Those who deal with research aren’t so scheming.”
“That’s because I didn’t invite those ones for dinner.” Mireya leaned in his arms and snorted. “You’ve saved quite a few young women’s numbers today, but you’re not allowed to chat with them.”
PlayvolumeAd5 Ryan turned Mireya around with a smile. “I saved their numbers all because of you. In case I can’t reach you, I can ask your colleagues about you. Or when I need to propose to you or celebrate your birthday in the future, I can seek help from them.”
“You’ve thought quite far ahead, huh?”
Undeniably, as his girlfriend, Mireya was pleased by how caring Ryan was toward her. He had also made her look good tonight.
“As for me, I usually play it by ear.”
Ryan took out his phone and glanced at the time. “It’s only 7:30 p.m. now. Do you want me to shop with you, or should we watch a movie?”
Mireya browsed through the movie app and noticed that there were hardly any new movies recently. At last, she decided to shop around.
When they got in the car, Ryan bent over to press his body on Mireya’s and gave her a passionate kiss before they could fasten the seat belts.
Indeed, it had been a long time since the two of them kissed.
When they kissed in the Lynch family’s villa the other day, they did not kiss intently as they were afraid of being caught by Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch.
With only the two of them in the car right now, Ryan did not hold back.
After a few minutes of kissing, Mireya got so worried that she could not take it anymore. “Wait a minute. Someone is coming…”
