They could not even show their teeth when they ate, and they were not allowed to talk.
Nathan told Mireya to be at ease. He even had a conversation with her about her newly established company.
“Your idea of establishing a local cosmetics brand is quite good, ” Nathan said. “Although Australia’s development has been rapid these few years, our local brands are mediocre when placed on the international platform. I hope you’ll be able to have some accomplishments.”
“I’ll do my best. ” Upon receiving encouragement from the prime minister, Mireya nodded enthusiastically.
Ryan chuckled. “You don’t have to be so nervous. This isn’t the office. You’re not my dad’s subordinate, and you’re not a civil servant as well. He won’t bite you.”
“You rascal.” After Nathan glared at Ryan, he smiled and said to Mireya, “Ryan’s not wrong. Relax. Since you’ve moved into the official residence, we’re family. You can say whatever you want.”
Mireya was touched upon hearing his words. She asked, “Sarah has done so many evil things. Is there really no way to catch her?”
After a moment of silence, Nathan said, “I do believe you. I believe that Sarah is an evil woman too. However, as the prime minister, my words represent the country’s law. The law emphasizes evidence. If there’s no evidence from your side, the police can’t apprehend Sarah.”
Mireya was utterly disappointed.
“My dad can’t arrest people by force, ” Ryan explained. “We’re not sure how much Rodney is willing to go for Sarah either. If Rodney spreads the word that my dad abused his status as a prime minister to randomly arrest others after we catch Sarah, it’ll leave an unerasable stain on my dad’s career. In the next election, some politicians will surely use this to defame my dad.”
Mireya tightened her grip on the fork and knife. Rodney. It was Rodney again.
“I’m sorry. Actually, Shaun personally contacted me regarding your question as well.” Nathan sighed. ” However, I told him that although I won’t make a move in this matter, I can turn a blind eye.
Therefore, I asked him to figure it out himself.”
Mireya’s eyes lit up. She understood his meaning.
After breakfast, Heidi said, “Yesterday, Rodney kept making a fuss at the gates, wanting to come in. I didn’t let him in, but I think he’ll still come over.
You should hide in the official residence for the next few days.”
Mireya was in a dilemma. “But I was planning to go to the wedding planner to deal with the cancelation of the wedding…”
Ryan was about to head out. As he put on his suit, he said nonchalantly, “It’s not a big deal. I’ll help you to do it.”
“Let Ryan do it.” Heidi nodded. “You’re still inexperienced in taking care of these matters. It’s easy to get blackmailed if the problem is not properly dealt with.”
Mireya understood. If the other party took advantage of the fact that it was a shameful matter and demanded unreasonable compensation, she would be uncomfortable if she had to compensate too much.
Therefore, she accompanied Dani and stayed in the official residence for the next few days without going anywhere else.
Just then, something awkward happened. When Mireya was breastfeeding Dani, the sound of footsteps could be heard at the door.
She thought it was Aunty Loretta who came. After all, this building was her and Dani’s little haven.
However, when she turned her head back and saw Ryan walking in wearing a tailored suit, she was so shocked and awkward. She instinctively wanted to cover herself with her clothes but once she moved, Dani started crying in dissatisfaction as she was not full yet.
Mireya could only… continue feeding Dani.
Ryan simply walked in and put an intricate little box on the tabletop in front of Mireya. Then, he glanced at her with a calm gaze. “My colleague’s wife runs a cake shop, so he gave me some. Try it.”
Mireya was blushing madly, and her face felt hot.
It was the first time she breastfed in front of a man aside from Rodney.
Nevertheless, she still had to act calm and not let Ryan sense that she was embarrassed.
Moreover, Ryan looked at ease in front of Mireya too as if she was just carrying the child. If she were to avoid him, the situation would turn ambiguous.
“Thank you. But… I’m on a diet.” Mireya forced herself to say that.
“Diet?” Not only did Ryan not move his gaze away but he even eyed her from top to bottom. “You ate a lot in the past two nights even though you’re on a diet.”
That was because the official residence’s meals were too delicious.
Also… could Ryan stop standing in front of her?
“Uhm… Can you move away? Now isn’t a good time for me.” Mireya could not bear it in the end.
Ryan stared at Mireya’s blushing face. He suddenly laughed. “So you’re feeling embarrassed. This isn’t a big deal. When I was studying abroad, I saw plenty of foreign women breastfeeding in public at the stations.”
That was another country and not Australia.
Moreover, Mireya was a young girl from the new generation. She was easily embarrassed.
“But… I still respect women.”
Ryan patted her head as he smiled. Then, he turned around and left.
Mireya touched the spot on her head where he had patted her just now. It felt weird.
However, she did not think too much of it.
After breastfeeding, Mireya unboxed the cake that Ryan brought over. It was not very big, just a small slice. She took a bite of it, and it was unexpectedly tasty. The taste was similar to the authentic French desserts that she had when she was working overseas.
However, the cake was too small. After finishing the slice, she was left wanting more.
Therefore, Mireya sent Ryan a WhatsApp message. [ What’s the name of the cake shop that belongs to your colleague’s wife? Is there a contact number for the shop? The cake is pretty delicious.]
Ryan: [Aren’t you on a diet?]
Could a woman be taken seriously when she said she was on a diet? Hmph.
Mireya: [I’ll only have the energy to go on a diet after I’m full.]
Ryan sent an animated WhatsApp sticker that wrote ¡®That makes sense’ to her. [I don’t have to ask my colleague. The cake shop is just beside my office. If you want to eat it, I’ll bring it back for you. Besides, the gates of the official residence are heavily guarded. Commoners won’t dare to send things over.]
Mireya thought he had a point there.
The official residence was different from the previous villa she lived in. People would not dare to deliver desserts over even if she placed an order.
Every person who came near the gates of the official residence had to be checked as there might be spies among those people.
Mireya: [But will I be troubling you?]
Ryan: [It’s alright. I usually like to feed little pigs when I’m free anyway.]
Mireya let out an angry laugh. Ryan was indirectly mocking her.
She replied furiously: [Very well, Ryan. You’re dead meat.]
Ryan immediately sent a WhatsApp sticker of someone kneeling to apologize.
Mireya visualized the scene of Ryan, the big shot, serving her a cup of tea as he knelt before her. She was entertained.
It was pretty amusing.
Mireya continued staying at home for a few more days. After Dani had gotten used to life at the official residence, Mireya went to the cosmetics company to work.
Wasting time every day and not working was not a good idea. She could not avoid Rodney forever either.
The first day she went to the company, she held an important meeting. After that, she went to the laboratory and started developing products.
Although there was a team in the laboratory, they were not as skilled as her.
Mireya was busy until 4:00 p.m. She was about to get off work and had just stepped out of the elevator.
Suddenly, a horde of reporters rushed over.
“Miss Lynch, I heard that you’re planning to divorce Rodney Snow. Is that true?”
“I heard that you both have decided to hold a wedding at the end of the year, but now it’s canceled. May I ask why you two are getting a divorce? You guys seemed to be very in love before.”
