Mia, the love of my life
Mia rushed out of the hospital at once. She had to get to Shawn’s place of work fast-
Then her steps halted all of a sudden. She didn’t know the place… she had no idea of how to get there.
That aside, she wasn’t even welcomed there.
She remembered how Shawn had reacted the other day that she went to give him food in the office-his words… the look in his eyes that day…
Goosebumps formed all over Mia’s body at once.
What was she to do now?
It then occurred to her that she had to go home first. Madam Susan would most certainly have her master’s number.
Mia began to shuffle her feet down the pedestrian, different thoughts running through her mind.
She was in dire need of money and her only hope right now was that card.
She had only taken about eleven steps away from the hospital when an arm suddenly flung over her shoulders and she was instantly pulled into an embrace.
“Hey, baby.”
Mia was completely caught off guard. She was startled and almost lost balance.
“I’ve been waiting for you.” The voice rang above her ear and she felt a person’s breath feather it softly.
She blinked her eyes rapidly to regain consciousness and immediately angled up her jaw to look at the person whose arm was wrapped around her.
Lo and behold, it turned out to be the man from yesterday. Her classmate’s uncle. Mia was extremely shocked at the revelation.
His stunningly gorgeous face was not one that could easily be forgotten. He was a breath taker.
“Why did you take so long-I’ve been waiting for you all these while.” Damien’s voice resonated in Mia’s ears.
But the girl didn’t understand what was happening or what he was saying either. Was he speaking gibberish?
She wasn’t given the chance to process his words and he tightened his arm around her and pulled her closer to his body. The cologne he was wearing immediately overwhelmed Mia’s ability to think, sweeping her small brain away.
Damien grinned, looking down at Mia with his blue eyes: “Baby, meet Maria, Maria, here’s the love of my love.” He gestured with his hands.
It wasn’t until then that Mia tore her gaze away from him and planted her eyes on the lady standing in front of them. Her mouth flung open immediately.
The woman looked stunningly beautiful from head to toe. She was elegantly dressed, exuding sophistication and style. She was clad in a yellow crisp, button-up shirt made of fine silk, the fabric flowing smoothly over her frame. The shirt was a soft shade of ivory, enhancing her complexion and lending an air of understated elegance.
Complementing the shirt was a caramel brown knee-length skirt crafted from a luxurious blend of wool and cashmere. The skirt gently hugged her curves while also allowing freedom of movement.
Completing her outfit, she was confidently standing in a pair of sleek high heels that were expertly crafted from supple brown leather, providing both comfort and poise. Their slender design added height to her silhouette, elongating her legs and adding a touch of allure to her overall appearance.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Also, in her hand was a brown bag-delicate gold jewelry adorning her wrists and neck. Her hair, immaculately styled, cascades in loose waves, framing her face with effortless grace. A hint of a floral fragrance lingered around her in the air.
Maria ran her eyes over the little girl standing next to Damien and then let them settle on Damien’s arm around her. Tears began to well up in her eyes.
Seeing how close the two were… Were they really together? Damien was with a little school girl? Damien-Damien who was a single manwhore. All he did was womanize…
When did he get in a relationship? What about Charlotte?
Sniffling hard, she gazed into Damien’s eyes, “see you around, Damien.”
After saying those words, she spun on her heels and ran off into a yellow Masserati. The car zoomed off immediately.
After seeing that the car was completely out of sight, Damien quickly retracted his arm from around Mia’s shoulders. Then he took two steps backwards away from her.
“I am very sorry.” Clasping his hands together, he apologized calmly.
“I was put in a tight spot and had to make use of the only option I had-and it was you.” His crystal clear blue eyes gazed directly into Mia’s brown ones.
Even as he spoke, he had his signature smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth and it made the girl shiver. As if that wasn’t enough, his eyes felt like they were piercing directly through her soul-she felt naked before them.
Mia quickly pulled her head away and broke eye contact with him.
She then tried to make sense of what had just happened. After a while, she got a grasp of everything and understood. The man simply used her to get rid of the lady.
But why? That lady was gorgeous and down to earth.
Well, that was none of her business.
Mia cleared her throat anxiously. “Hu-hum-it’s fine.”
Damien let out a charming smile, nodding his head once, and then he continued to stare at her in silence.
“Then…” It was time for Mia to run along but her legs remained unmoving and her gaze wandered around aimlessly.
All of a sudden, she heard the man let out a deep throaty chuckle.
Huh? What was funny? Did she do something funny? Mia’s brows furrowed subconsciously.
Ignoring the girl’s questioning gaze, Damien reached in his pocket and brought out his phone.
“Well, you’ve helped me out twice and I’m gravely indebted to you now.” He paused, “if you don’t mind, I’d like to have your phone number so I can repay you sometime.”
He smiled a charming smile at her.
Mia chuckled nervously, waving her hand in disapproval: “Err… Erm, no. That’s not necess-”
The man cut in, “I insist. I do not like to owe debts.”
He reached out, took Mia’s hand and put the phone in her hand. “Go on.” He nodded.
When their hands came in contact, Mia felt a wave of electricity rush through her and she quickly retracted her hand.
She gazed hesitantly at the phone for a while before finally deciding to put her phone number in there. It wouldn’t hurt to drop her number, would it?
But just as the girl was about to type her number, a cold chill suddenly ran up her spine and every strand of hair on her body stood up at once.
She felt a cold gaze boring holes in her back and she instinctively turned around immediately.
