Chereads / I Hate Love But It Loves Me / Chapter 8 - Rumors

Chapter 8 - Rumors

"When will we divorce?"

Mia asked with blank eyes. She held no emotions in her eyes. There was no smile on her face. Cold...

The cold face of Mia Grace which no one had seen. She had changed. She finally changed into someone they didn't know.

"Next month"

George pressed down every feelings inside him and put a smile on his face. The smile seemed to be mixed with lies.

Mia who didn't know about feelings, only gave out a small smile. "Ok I will sign the paper next month, prepare to tell our parents" then she left the dining room.

Maki was still at the spot. She was kneeling down with many expressions. Could her Miss find someone who truly deserve her?

Maki didn't know what to feel anymore.

Should she cry in pain because her Miss agreed to the divorce with warm smile like a person who gave up over everything?

Or should she be shouting in joy because her Miss was finally over on someone who didn't even spare a glance at her?

Before Maki could finish finding the answer, George grabbed the divorce paper and walked out from the villa. He went to the company.

He must be quick about the divorce.

Mia sat on the couch in her room, her heart felt like broken into pieces. The body was Mia Grace after all.

So the feelings came from the original owner Mia Grace. She must be shouting like a crazy woman if she was still in her own body.

Now Mia was different. She felt relieved. Even though the divorce should happen after next two months, this was best.

She was going to free after this month. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Knock knock"

A maid came in with lowered head, the granddaughter of Maki. "What is it?" Mia asked softly, made the girl head up.

"You left your phone at dining table and it's ringing, Miss" A girl politely said.

"Did you bring it?" A maid nodded as she handed the phone to Mia. The phone number wasn't new.

'Lila' the name of the girl who drugged George for Mia Grace at the party in novel.

"Thank you, you can go" a maid nodded and left the room.

"Hel-"

Before Mia could finish saying 'Hello', Lila spoke first quickly. "Mia, what happened to you that night"

She was clearly talking about the party night. Lila must be confused since Mia cried in stranger man's arms.

"That was two days ago"

Mia innocent said. Lila got angry at unexpected answer. "Mia! I didn't have time to call you yesterday because I was on date with Escort"

Mia almost choked on air when Lila said the words. She spoke as if Escort was more important than Mia.

"Escort and you are dating now?"

The question from Mia angered Lila more. "It doesn't matter. Did George hurt you for hugging stranger man?"

"No, why would he?" "No way! You caused trouble for him though! Do you even know the rumors running around the town?"

Lila words held blames on Mia. As if Lila was ashamed of being Mia's friend. Well, Lila only befriended with Mia for connections after all.

"What rumors?"

Lila didn't notice that she was showing her disgusting side to Mia. "What rumors?! Are you kidding me? You really don't know?!"

"I don't know"

"Gosh!! People are telling that you are having another man behind George. And that another man is the man you hugged"

Mia frowned. She hated people judges the most. They all did was judge and nothing. "But it is not true"

"Ofc, but people believe that the man is your second man. They talk as if you are cheating on George. Gosh why did you hug that man? George must be tired of you"

Mia clenched her fist. Even she had no feelings for George, why didn't he tell her about the rumors?

Maybe he care for her?

No, it couldn't be.

"Do you even hear me?!"  Lila shouted because Mia was silent all the time and didn't utter a sound.

Mia hung up the phone. Lila got angry and called again. But she faced with blacklist.

"How dare she add me to blacklist?!" Lila shouted. She only befriended to Mia just for connections and she dared to disrespect her?

Mia threw her phone to the side on couch. She could help cleaning the rumors if George had said to her.

Now she caused troubles for him. Maybe that's why he told her to divorce so early because she crossed the line.

Mia decided to accept the punishment for causing trouble. She would like to sign divorce paper as soon as possible.

Living as the wife of most successful man was same with prison for Mia. She couldn't even talk with man friendly.

Three hours later, Mia came out from the shower. She wrapped the white towel around her body as her lavender hair was wet.

She agreed Escort to have a lunch together but now she was hesitating because of rumors.

What if they saw her with Escort?

Mia sat down in front of mirror stand. She looked at her reflection. "What will you do if you were me, Mia Grace"

She spoke out loud her thought.

The seconds slowly turned into minutes. Time kept passing but Mia only kept looking at her reflection.

Her phone rang.

'Mister Escort Greyson'

She hesitated to pick the phone which was ringing on mirror stand. The phone fell into silence after a minute.

But then it rang again.

Mia sighed and picked up the phone. "Yes? Mister Escort Greyson" the man on the side furrowed his eyebrows.

He didn't like to be called like that.

"I'm gonna be there in twenty minutes" Mia looked up to the clock on the wall.

12pm.

Already time for lunch.

"I have something to tell"

"Yes?" Escort wrinkled his eyebrows. He wondered what will she say to him. "there are rumors about me having another man"

Mia said in low tone. Escort already knew those rumors. His friend, George came to him to stop the rumors with him.

"So what?" Mia tilted her head in confusion. How could he say like rumors are nothing?

"I don't think I can make it today with you. I promised Mister George Seith not to cause problem for him. And you might get in trouble because of me"

Escort laughed out loud.

He laughed uncontrollably.

Mia waited the man to finish laughing. "Are you done laughing, Mister Escort Greyson?"

"Ahaha y-yea, Miss Mia please don't worry. I can handle the situation very well. Even if people see us together, we are friends after all. They can't do anything."

"I don't remember saying we're friends" Mia words made Escort smirked. "But you agreed to be my friend"

"Well, I give up Sir."

Escort giggled. He found it really cute. "Whatever, we are going today" Escort said confidently.

"Well well. Then, see you" Mia said and hung up the phone before Escort could say anything.

He was right. If Mia Grace was here, she wouldn't care about people judges. Why would she?

Mia nodded to herself.

She got up quickly and called a maid,  granddaughter of Maki to help her getting dress.

"Please do the lightest makeup for me" a maid nodded hardly that her neck could break. "Yes, Miss!!"

The maid seemed to more excited than Mia. She helplessly sighed in her mind. Then she changed into an outfit.

"Omg! You look so beautiful as always, Miss" a maid praised Mia. "Thanks" Mia said as she checked her cards in purse.

Then she left the room. A maid also followed Mia to help wearing high heels.

After a minute, a black Bentley Flying Spur Speed car drove into the villa. The car stopped in front of the main door.
