Escort stepped a little closer to the front to get a better view. He inhaled the cold air deeply as a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Where is your lovely asshole friend?" Mia started the conversation.
She was asking about George Seith obviously. "You mean George Seith? He is right at the left corner" Mia frowned. So that man actually came to the birthday party of rival company CEO's brother. She didn't look back at her ex-husband. Why would she?
He was useless anyway. Maybe he was having some alone time with Dean Silas like she read. Little did she know that her thoughts were completely opposite in reality. George Seith already noticed his ex-wife from afar as soon as she walked in. He was stunned by his ex-wife's beauty.
It had been a week since he met her last time. He waited for her to come to him and beg him to be his wife again. He believed that she would come. But the young woman was hanging out with her friend happily instead. He got information about his ex-wife.
About how people saw her together with Dean Silas and Roman Silas at the restaurant and about her walking side to side with Escort in the mall. He didn't like it. He didn't like to hear those news. He was expecting other news of Mia fell sick because of the divorce.
He was waiting for her to beg him. Now she was different, she really lost emotions for him. He regretted his decision but did not accept the fact.
His frown tightened.
He didn't even know why he came to Dean Silas's birthday party. Actually he came to see his ex-wife but did not accept his feelings for Mia Grace. He gritted his teeth at the sight of Mia laughing with Escort together. "Mia Grace.." he murmured.
"Then- ah" Mia suddenly pressed her lower abdomen with her hands. She just felt a sharp and dull pain. 'Don't tell me..' "Mia, what's wrong?" Escort worriedly asked. "No, nothing is wrong. Nevermind. So continue your story" Mia changed the conversation quickly with an awkward smile. "Umm that's all"
"Wait what? So you mean your car is in pieces right now?" Mia asked in disbelief. "Yes, I should not have lend my car into her hands" Escort spoke in regretful tone. He gave his Bentley car to one of his ex-girlfriends but the car accident happened.
Thankfully, his ex-girlfriend did not get hurt except scratch. But his Bentley car was broken into pieces thank to the tree. The girl could not give back all the money for what happened. She didn't take responsibility. Escort turned a blind eye on her because he hated drama.
"AHAHAHAAHA why did you lend her? Isn't she already your ex-girlfriend? She must hate you" Mia laughed out loud but still pressing her lower abdomen. "That's right but she was in trouble so I lent the car for her" Escort helplessly explained.
"Without knowing her trouble?" Escort nodded. "Well, you deserve it since you broke her heart, You Flirty Fool" Escort chuckled at the name of what a young woman called. He could talk like a carefree person when he was with the young woman.
She looked unapproachable outside but warm inside. Mia pushed him away countlessly but now she listened to his story and laughed along with him like a true friend. She was dangerous and yet relaxed. She hid many secrets in her hands, not showing to anyone and holding them tightly.
Mia Grace was a mysterious woman, that's the reason why Escort found her very attractive.
Dean Silas was looking at Escort with murderer look as if he found a target to kill. The woman in front of him might be talking non-stop, thinking she got Dean Silas's attention but Dean's eyes were on the young woman with lavender purple hair only.
There were flames in his eyes.
He was afraid of seeing Mia being friendly with Escort Greyson. What if she fell for that Mister Playboy? His heart was in chaos. Dean wanted to run towards Mia and dragged her away from those lustful men eyes. He shook his head.
When did he start being selfish? He frowned tightly. "Please excuse me" he left the woman who was seducing him with sweet talks. "Mia, I got a strawberry macarons for you" Dean's voice interrupted the two who were laughing together.
Mia turned around and faced Dean. "Omg, thanks! I really like strawberry" Her lips formed into a wide grin. Dean's warmly smiled at the sight of the young woman grinning at heart shaped strawberry macarons. "You two must be really close" Escort interrupted the lovely moment.
"Umm not that close, just friends"
Mia explained with a smile, she did not notice Dean's sad face. Escort raised his eyebrow at the sight of Dean's unhappy face because of the young woman's words. His lips curved up into a smirk. So that red haired boy was in love with Mia Grace.
"Is that so? I thought you two were something else" Escort smiled. Mia furrowed her brows, "I told you we are friends. So no more misunderstanding" Dean was in silence, gritting his teeth to hold himself back from impossible thoughts.
"Alright alright, I have a question for you actually" Escort smiled at Mia who was raising her brow in doubts. "What?" Dean was waiting for the question, not walking away from them. "Do you have anyone you like right now?" Escort's question made Mia frowned in disgust.
"Like? Nah, I don't have anyone I like. No one can't make my heart races like an alarm till now" Mia accidentally spoke out. "But I thought you loved George. Didn't he make your heart race like an alarm though?" Dean asked with furrowed eyebrows. Mia gulped.
"I mean I did fell for him just for a moment. But now I don't have anyone in my heart" Mia awkwardly smiled as she put a heart shaped strawberry macarons into her mouth. Escort and Dean nodded in understatement. But there were different expressions on their faces.
There were worries and sadnesses written on Dean's face while thousand of ideas to make the young woman fall for him, were running in Escort's head. Mia could not read two men's faces, she ignored them and continued to eat her strawberry macarons.
"Shit.."
Mia suddenly cursed under her breath, making the two men raised their eyebrows in confusion. She gulped the strawberry macarons with panics in the eyes, the two men stared at the woman in confusion. Mia could feel that her lower part of dress was soaking wet.
'I knew it! That's why these period cramps are killing me today! Why does this stupid menstruation have to come at this time?!' Mia screamed in her mind. She looked up at Escort and Dean with an awkward smile. "Umm, something came up. Please excuse me, I need to go to restroom"
Mia excused herself as two men let her go with furrowed eyebrows. Escort looked at the young woman back with narrowed eyes. His eyes traveled to where Mia was covering with her bare hands. His eyes widened in realization. His face suddenly reddened.
Dean didn't notice anything because some women came to talk to him, more likely to say to seduce him. George Seith looked at his ex-wife who passed by him without sparing a glance. He squeezed his eyes in anger. "What do you think you are doing?"
He grabbed her wrist tightly, making the woman flinched. "George Seith? What the heck, that's the question I should ask" Mia faced her ex-husband with a frown as she covered her back of lower part with left hand.
"You want my attention so much huh? Stop acting like you can live without me and flirt with every men shamelessly so that you will get my attention" George sneered with a disgusted face. Mia's face reddened in anger.
"What the heck are you talking about? I don't want your freaking attention! Let me go, you psychopath" Mia tried to shove away her ex-husband's tightened grip. "Drop your act, Mia Grace. Maybe if you kneel for real, I will let you to be my wife again and give you my attention"
George spoke with his usual cold face, not letting go the young woman's hand. Mia bit her lower lip furiously. 'Why did author write a psychopath as a male lead?!!' She glared at her ex-husband. "I said let me go. Don't you have any shame? Don't cause scandals"
Mia pushed George's strong hand which was wrapped around her wrist tightly.
"Let her go"
Escort's raspy voice interrupted the two. He shoved away his friend's hand from the woman. His face was cold like an ice. His eyes were burning with flames, scaring people who were watching them. Mia looked up at Escort who was glaring at his own friend.
She furrowed her brows in disbelief. Normally, Escort Greyson was not the type of making his friendship with George Seith awkward. He even stepped back for his friend in novel but now he was making the things worse.
It was as if the one who she was looking wasn't the Escort she knew. "You need to go to restroom, right?" Escort took off his dark teal green blazer and wrapped it around Mia's waist. It was the moment, Mia's face flushed.
Her heart skipped a beat for a second. He knew what was happening to her. He really knew that she was on her menstruation. She could not even tell if her face was reddened in embarrassment or because of something else.
She placed her hand on her left chest while biting her lips in disbelief. She looked down at the man who was tying the blazer around her waist tightly to make sure it wouldn't fall down. He face was showing that he did not care about others but her only.
George tightly frowned at the sight of his friend taking care of Mia like a real husband. He gritted his teeth in anger. His blood started to boil as he clenched his fists while his burning glare was on his friend who was caring about Mia Grace only. People stared at the three in fear.
Escort looked up when he finished tying the blazer around the young woman. He flashed his sweet dimples and white teeth at the young woman to make her blinded by his beauty. Mia stared into his sea green eyes with blank eyes, making him could not read her mind.
"What the heck is going on?!"
Bailey ran towards her friend with worries written on her face. She looked down at the dark teal green blazer which was wrapped around her friend's waist. She quickly understood the situation. Bailey's brows were pulled together in displeasement.
She glared at both George Seith and Escort Greyson. "Let's go" She grabbed Mia's hand, escorted her friend to the restroom. Mia walked into the girl's restroom with stone face while Bailey quickly took out an emergency pad from her purse then she gave it to her friend.
"Thanks, you are my savior"
Mia's smile made Bailey's frown replaced with a grin. "I am glad to hear that" Bailey waited for a few minutes in the restroom patiently. The door opened as Mia came out with an awkward smile. "Alright, I am done but my dress is completely soaking wet with blood"
There were worries in Mia's eyes.
"Well, just wrapped that blazer back for now. I will go bring my blazer in the car quickly. Wait here. Don't go outside" Mia nodded as Bailey walked out from the restroom with quick steps while there was a frown on her face. Mia looked at her reflection in the mirror of restroom.
Her eyes looked down at the blazer. 'That guy is a gentleman.. ' she could not help but admitted the truth. Who would have thought he would actually wrapped his own blazer around her waist while knowing that his blazer would get dirty. Also he did not care about people judges.
Without noticing herself, she was already smiling at the reflection.
