Chereads / I Hate Love But It Loves Me / Chapter 11 - She was on his mind

Chapter 11 - She was on his mind

Two days later, a woman inside her room, sat on her bed with a book in her hand. The darkness started to cover the sky. Time was around 6pm.

"I feel bad for second male lead" Mia spoke with furrowed eyebrows. Her habit became reading recently. She didn't have anything to do in villa.

A woman like her got bored in villa alone. She was always running for part time jobs in her past life.

Mia threw the book on bed.

She stood up from her bed then she walked out from the room. Her steps directed to the garden of villa.

A woman in cream colored silk long sleeves dress went out from the villa. Maki saw her Miss going outside.

"Miss Mia, where are you going?" Maki asked as she followed her Miss. "To garden, since it's boring in the room"

Mia answered with a smile, "Then please let me follow you" Mia nodded. "Sure" they two walked inside the garden.

The flowers were swaying by the cold breezes, it was as if they were dancing at night freely.

'Beautiful' Mia thought as she kept walking around. "It's already time for dinner, Miss. I think we should go back"

"But Mister George Seith won't come back tonight. We can have dinner at 8pm" Mia complained. George already told her that he wouldn't come back to villa early like usual.

"No, Miss. You have to eat at the right time for your health. Please don't wait for Sir" Maki stared at Mia with pitiful eyes.

She thought Mia wanted to eat together with George. But she didn't know that Mia refused because she ate many snacks just minutes ago.

"Well I am not waiting for him though. Whatever, you go and prepare first, I would like to stay alone here for a bit" Maki nodded then she went back into the villa.

Mia inhaled the cold breeze.

'Cold'

She embraced herself. Her eyes never looked away from the moon. Even though it was not a full moon night, it was still beautiful for Mia.

Seconds passed then minutes passed.

She never got tired of watching the moon. The best memories ran through her head. A big smile could seen on her face.

She shut her eyes and felt the cold breezes. 'Henry' she called his name in her mind. "Henry" she spoke out loud her thought.

Suddenly a warm coat was wrapped around her shoulder. Mia opened her eyes quickly and turned back to the person.

George Seith, but didn't he say he wouldn't come back early like usual? Was this her imagination?

"Mister George Seith, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you won't be able to come back early tonight?"

Mia eyebrows wrinkled.

Did he hear her? Did he hear her calling 'Henry' name?

"It's almost 8 pm now, why are you standing here alone?" George refused to answer the question of Mia. There was a frown on his face.

There wasn't a watch on Mia's wrist so she didn't know that George was lying about the time. It was 7 pm not 8 actually.

"I just came outside because It is boring in my room" she said truthfully. "Then you should have bring a coat or something"

They stared into each other eyes deeply. Different thoughts were running in their head.

'Is he scolding me?'

Mia's face turned to ice cube. No warm smile nor soft eyes were on her face.

She grabbed the blazer of George from her shoulder then she gave it back to George.

"I am so sorry to trouble you. I will be careful next time" Mia apologized and left the man alone in the garden. No one saw the expression of George.

An hour ago, George who was working in his office, got a phone call from his friend, Escort Greyson.

He accepted the phone call.

"George! Sup?" Escort greeted with energetic voice. "Why did you call?" Hearing the cold response, Escort rolled his eyes playfully.

"Is that how you treat your friend?" "I am working right now, if you don't have any necessary things to speak, then bye"

"Wait!" Escort stopped George from trying to end the call. "I heard that Mia agreed to the divorce"

Without noticing himself, George was already frowning at Escort for calling his wife 'Mia'.

"Yea, that is right"

"You seem to really hate her. Don't you really have any feelings for her? I saw how she changed at the lunch friend date with her"

There was a silence for a minute.

Escort narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Why wasn't his friend answering without hesitating?

George would angry easily if he ever mentioned Mia Grace, he would shout out loud how much he hated Mia Grace.

But now he was hesitating for a simple answer. Did he perhaps have feelings for Mia Grace? "If that is the topic what you want to say, bye"

George hung up the phone, he didn't even give a chance for Escort to speak. He sighed loudly as tried to continue the work.

'They seemed to have fun at lunch date since Escort called my wife 'Mia'.' a thought suddenly popped up in George's head. What?

Did he just say his wife? How could such a silly thought popped up? He disliked her more, that woman could interrupt his work now.

When he couldn't do any work because of his silly thoughts, he decided to bring the work to home back.

He arrived to villa back as he got out from the car, something caught his eyes. It was a young woman standing under the dim light with bright smile on her face.

'Mia Grace?'

What was she doing in the garden at dinner time? She should be in the dining room. He was afraid if Mia might laugh at him for coming back home early.

He told her that he would be late tonight, but now he was standing in the villa early like usual. He wanted to walk into the villa and ignore his wife.

Seeing the young woman embracing herself, George's steps directed to the garden. He walked near to her without making any sound.

"Henry"

His steps stopped, his whole brain started loading. What was going on? Did she say that man name again? Why was he angry though?

George shook his head, he took off his blazer and wrapped around Mia's shoulder. The woman quickly turned around.

"Mister George Seith, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you won't be able to come back early tonight?"

Why? Why was she calling his name like a stranger while she just called Henry with soft smile. He didn't want to admit that he came back early because she was on his mind the whole time.

"It's almost 8 pm now, why are you standing here alone?" He questioned back. He saw the young woman's eyebrows wrinkled.

He lied about the time, did she find out that? Was she going to yell at him for lying? What would she do? His heart was beating like an alarm.

"I just came outside because It is boring in my room" She didn't know that he lied. He felt relieved. "Then you should have bring a coat or something"

He sounded like an empty soul saying empty words. It was true that he got worried when he saw her embracing herself.

"I am so sorry to trouble you. I will be careful next time" her face was cold like breezes around them. Did he sound that empty?

She gave him blazer back and left him. 'Mia..' he called her but in his mind. He suddenly wanted to talk with Mia like others.

Unreadable expression covered his face.
