George gritted his teeth in anger when Mia left him alone. She chose Escort Greyson instead. That young woman was acting like she did not care about him but actually in love with him deeply. He believed like that. He thought she was messing around to get his attention.
Now she got it. He gave his attention to her. He was sure that she would come back to him after some days. He believed she would regret her decision for choosing Escort Greyson. He believed that Mia would run into his arms and beg him to forgive her behavior.
George Seith left the party with a stone face, not caring about others. As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw his friend, Escort Greyson walking out of the hotel with a satisfied smile. He ignored Escort and went out of the hotel, his steps directed to his car.
Meanwhile Dean was broken inside. He bit his lip in annoyance. "I am tired, you do whatever you want with the party" Dean spoke as he walked out of the party, decided to go back home and leaving the others with his brother. He stepped into elevator with deep thoughts.
His gloomy face was reflecting in the elevator mirror. If that two men did not ruin the party, he could even become more closer with Mia. But now she left the party too early. He regretted his decisions suddenly. A loud sigh escaped his lips as he stepped out of the elevator.
Dean went into his car, started the engine with a broken face. He wanted Mia to stay at his birthday party with him, not going back with that Escort Greyson. He could see that Escort Greyson was playing around with Mia Grace.
That man was famous with breaking girls hearts. How could he let Mia Grace fall for Escort Greyson? He did not want to see the young woman crying in pain. Thoughts ran in his head as he speeded up the car. "Mia.." he murmured. After some minutes later, he arrived back to the villa.
The maids greeted him politely but he did not greet back. He just walked up to his room with a stone face. It was weird for the maids to see their Second Young Master's stone face. Normally, he would greet back at everyone politely. Now he did not even spare a glance at them.
Dean took off his coat and threw himself on the king sized bed.
'Did I fall for Mia Grace?'
The question repeated in his head. Did he just fall in love at first sight? Maybe it was true. The moment when the young woman started crying in his arms that night, was unforgettable moment for him. She started to interrupt into his thoughts every day.
He would imagine the young woman smiling beautifully under the moonlight. He totally fell in love for the first time. But he did not want to accept it because he could see the wall between the young woman and him. She drew the line between them.
It looked like she was afraid of love, maybe she even hated the love. If that was true, all the blames would be on George Seith. He was the one who hurt Mia, the one who broke Mia's heart. Dean could not understand why that George Seith pushed Mia Grace away.
Mia was fun to be around and beautiful. Why did George Seith hate her? He must be blind. Dean frowned at the thought of George Seith pushing away Mia. If he was George Seith, he would hug Mia Grace tightly so that no one could take her away from him.
Dean sighed tiredly as shook his head. "Present!" he suddenly sat up on the bed. His hands moved to bag which was on the table beside his bed. He peeked into the bag with hopes. Thankfully, he grabbed the bag from party which Mia gave to him as a present for his birthday.
He took out the box from the bag. His heart started to pound. The box was styled with white ribbon on the top, looking pretty with glitter. Dean opened the box while biting his lip in anxiety and hopes. A sight of black watch fell in front of him.
His lips formed into a smile. He liked it. No matter what it was, he liked the present of Mia. Even if the present was just a sweet, he would gladly accept it if it was from Mia. Dean stared at the watch with a warm smile for minutes, he forgot about the other things for a second.
He put on the watch carefully.
A satisfied smile appeared on Dean's face. The black watch which was curved with gold line, looked great on his wrist. "It feels like this is a valentine present.." he spoke out loud his thought. When he realized what he said, his face suddenly covered in redness.
He squeezed his eyes in disbelief. He was becoming more weirder. His thoughts became wild. "I need to shower.." he covered his embarrassment as stepped out of the bed and directed to the bathroom, putting the watch in the drawer where only important things were kept in.
The next day, on the huge bed, the young woman was sitting lazily as her ocean blue eyes were on the wall, already spacing out in the early morning. A loud sigh escaped her lips. She grabbed her phone from the table which was beside her huge bed. Mia scrolled through the social media.
The first new made her sighed tiredly.
[What is the relationship between Mia Grace and Escort Greyson?]
[The friendship between George Seith and Escort Greyson has broken!]
[Does Mia Grace like Escort Greyson? Are they secretly dating?]
[Watch the video of Escort Greyson and Mia Grace sweet moment at Dean Silas's birthday party!]
[Dean Silas's birthday party was ruined because of the heated fight!]
The news disappointed Mia. Wherever she looked, there were news about what happened last night only. As if Mia Grace was a celebrity. "Looks like this world can't live without me.." Mia chuckled at her own words. She shook her head and put down her phone.
Mia quickly did her morning routine and went down to eat breakfast with her parents. As she stepped into the dining room, she saw her parents, Theo and Camilla talking on their phones. They did not even notice their daughter since they were so busy.
Both of them were talking on phones, it seemed like they were telling media to bring down their daughter's news. "Good morning, Miss Mia" Maki and her granddaughter greeted Mia with a smile. "Hello.." Mia replied with a weak smile as she sat down across of her mother.
"Oh, hello honey" Camilla greeted with a usual smile while she hung up the phone. Mia nodded and smiled back at her mother. "You should avoid meeting with Escort Greyson for awhile, Mia" Theo spoke as he hung up the phone. Camilla nodded in agreement.
"He is right, Mia. We are talking for you" Mia sighed tiredly and nodded in understatement. "Yes, I will" Camilla smiled. "Good, oh by the way are you going out today?" Camilla asked as she gulped the food. "Umm no. Why do you ask?" Mia furrowed her brows.
"Lorcan is absent today"
Mia frowned in confusion. She had no idea of what her mother was talking about. "Lorcan?" She asked with an awkward smile. "Yes, your bodyguard's name" "Oh.." Mia nodded in understatement. 'What a shame, I never asked him his name' she spoke in her mind.
"He is not the type of person who would absent though" Mia raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Well, actually his mother died today. And I let him rest" Mia fell into huge silence. She blinked twice as gulped. "I feel sorry for him" Mia lowered her head and continued the breakfast. "Yea"
'He must be in pain' Mia spoke in her mind, spacing out again. "Mia, why aren't you eating?" Theo raised his eyebrow and asked. Mia snapped back from thoughts, she looked up at her father and mother who were staring at her in confusion. "Oh, I am sorry.."
Mia apologized and ate the food quietly. "Umm when is Lorcan coming back to work?" Mia asked, making her mother raised her eyebrow in suspicion. "Don't get wrong idea. I just want to know" Mia awkwardly smiled and explained. "Tomorrow or maybe three days later"
The young woman nodded.
"Don't go outside often if it is not necessary. Then, take care Mia. I have to attend meeting today" Theo stood up from the seat after wiping his mouth with napkin. Mia smiled at her father and nodded in understatement. "Take care, dad"
The man walked out of the dining room. "I need to go too. Goodbye, honey" Camilla stood up from the seat and walked towards her daughter to give a kiss. She planted a soft kiss on her daughter's cheek and left the dining room. When her parents left, Mia let out a loud sigh.
"Please bring me strawberries" Mia wiped her mouth with napkin and stood up from seat. Maki nodded and went into the kitchen to prepare the strawberries for the young woman. Mia walked into the living room with a stone face, thinking about Lorcan who lost his mother.
She could not help but felt sorry. Mia sat down on the couch after opening TV to watch her favorite korean drama. Not even a minute later, her mind left the chat, completely spacing out again. Maki's granddaughter walked into the living room with a plate full of strawberries.
"Here are strawberries!" Maki's granddaughter put down the plate on the glass table and waited for her Miss to eat. But the young woman was staring at the TV only, not sparing a glance at the strawberries. Maki's granddaughter frowned in confusion.
"Miss, is something bothering you?"she asked Mia who was sitting on the couch in the living room, not paying attention to her favorite korean drama. "Miss?" Maki's granddaughter called again since the young woman was spacing out. "Miss!" She shouted.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Mia snapped back from thoughts and looked at the girl with a frown. "Here are strawberries" the young woman looked down at the plate and sighed. "Thanks.." "Is something bothering you? You keep spacing out" Maki's granddaughter asked with worries written on her face.
"No, I am fine. Nothing is bothering me"
