Chapter Twelve.
Their expression shows that there is confusion in the air. Why are they bowing to Richard and Mia when Williams and Vivian are the real people?
Mr Allen, who recognized Kendrick, felt pressurized the moment he saw him. "Mr Kendrick, you are welcome. I don't expect you to show up here" He managed to act natural. Not all people know Richard Brown in person, as Kendrick was the one who represented Richard most times, and it was hard to know who Richard Brown was.
When Richard introduced himself earlier, Mr Allen found it funny. Even Kendrick never walks alone, many bodyguards walk with him. If the real Richard Brown would show up, he would have thousands of people trailing behind him.
Mr Allen felt angry when Richard remained rude and kept claiming he was the real one.
However, Kendrick wasn't interested in those fancy greetings of Mr Allen, he was burning in anger instead. "Young Master, are you okay?" Kendrick asked, furrowing his brows as he examined his face until his bursting lips. "Do you get hurt somewhere?"
By that time, Mr Allen was already shaking; with Kendrick's interaction with Richard, it seemed he was the real Young Master.
Meanwhile, the lady who leads those hefty men happens to be Mia's assistant. "Young Madam Mia, I'm sorry for being late. We lose track of you, thinking you have returned to Young Master Richard's house; the Old Madam Scottish has ordered us to protect you from now on. I'm your assistant; my name is Annabel," Annabel explained.
Mia stood stunned, she never thought this kind of moment would change so fast. It seems her grandmother is like an angel that knows the times of trouble.
Mia glanced at Vivian secretly; she confirmed the expression on her face to be written as shock and joyful feelings surged through her. "Thanks, Annabel, it's nice meeting you. I will leave the situation to my husband to decide" Mia replied calmly, her hands folded beneath her chest.
Then, Richard had a deadly gaze on and he placed his hands on Kendrick's shoulder. "Hi Kendrick, someone just slapped me in the face and refuses to apologize. He claimed to be the Brown family staff, and he hit me because I tried to buy a gown for my wife," Richard explained in a tiny voice that could cause laughter. However, no one dared to chuckle except Mia, who found Richard cute at that moment.
Kendrick understands what Richard meant with his dramatic words; with a little nod, two guards move up to Allen and hit him on both his cheeks, respectively.
"Make sure he loses his teeth!!" Kendrick yelled, his anger was fierce like a hungry lion.
Also, Annabel noticed the undone zip on Mia's gown and demanded it instantly. "What happened to your gown? Did someone try to bully you?"
Vivian, who has been watching the scenario, felt something off; she could still cope with the shocking revelation of Richard being the real Young Master. However, Mia can never be a Young Mistress; it seems Richard hires some people to act this way.
Rudely, Vivian steps forward. "Don't even think of deceiving me even if you did to others, okay? I know you are not a Young Mistress unless someone like him helps you to become one," She mouthed firmly.
Williams couldn't believe that fact also, he knew Mia was nothing but a poor girl. "You can't become the Young Mistress if not because of Young Master Richard." He supported Vivian. However, the tone of his voice changed as he secretly respected Richard.
Mia shut her eyes firmly and clenched her fist tightly, she hated everything about them. For a moment, she regretted falling in love with someone dumb like Williams. "For your information, I'm the Young Mistress Scottish. And I don't think I have the right to explain my identity to you." Mia turned to Annabel and said to her. "Take care of these shitty people"
Richard also gave Kendrick a glance which he understood immediately. "Take care of them!"
In a swift moment, Williams received a thunderous slap that affected the ecosystem while Vivian was still trying to act like a rich kid. When Annabel moved up to her, she placed a handkerchief on her right hand before hitting Vivian on her cheeks.
Then, her heavy makeup appeared on the handkerchief, causing Annabel to chuckle. "Just as expected, the difference between you and a slut is minor"
The people begin to retreat as they sense danger coming their way if they don't leave quickly.
Richard turned with Kendrick as they made their way out of the boutique. Mia quickly said to Annabel, "I will see grandmother later on; I have to follow my husband home." She said in a hurry, and Annabel nodded.
Mia followed Richard with some escorts behind her. On getting to the car, Richard is already inside the car, which gives Mia confused feelings.
Why is he avoiding me?
Mia pushed the thought aside and sat beside him in the back seat. However, throughout the drive back to the estate, Richard never exchanges words with her.
When she tried to bring a conversation up, Richard had already closed his eyes. Before long, Kendrick drove into the estate, and Richard stepped out as soon as the car pulled up. He didn't glance at Mia before he entered the estate, leaving her behind.
Mia slowly got out of the car in confusion; she was prompt to talk to Kendrick in that uncomfortable situation. "Hi Kendrick, do you know what happened to Richard?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm not obligated to answer that question." With this, Kendrick passed and walked to the backyard.
With a deep breath, Mia took a firm step into the estate. When she entered, she heard the sound of running water coming from upstairs.
The last time she came to the estate, she wasn't able to figure out the rooms in it. However, Mia followed the sound of the running water, which eventually led her to a large, luxurious bedroom.
When she entered, Richard was just coming out of the bathroom and they bumped into each other. Unfortunately, Mia lost her step and was about to fall, but Richard caught her in his embrace, leaving a few inches away between them.
Mia's hot breath brushed against his chest, and Mia couldn't take her eyes off him, especially the water dripping from her body.
"It seems you are balanced." With this, Richard let her go and wanted to bypass before Mia stopped him.
"Wait! Why are you avoiding me?" She asked calmly.
"I don't understand what you mean." Richard walked into the wardrobe and wanted to pick his outfit when Mia stood in front of him.
Before he could think, she got on her toes and kissed his lips deeply.
The kiss lasted for a few moments before Mia broke it. "I'm sorry if I offended you." With this, she turned around, but Richard held her hand.
"Finish what you started. " And with that, he captured her lips fiercely with his tongue, finding its way to Mia's m
outh. She also responds to the kiss at the same pace, and her hands find their way to Richard's waist as they both enjoy the burning moment.
