Chapter 18
Edward was taken aback by the outburst and he just stood there staring at her. Mia then sat on the floor and covered her face and wept.
“Oh my sweet Mia” Dorothy said when she came into the living room and saw her.
She helped her up and took her out of the living room to her own room.
“What was that about ?” Levi asked breaking the silence.
Calvin just stood up and went to his room leaving the two. Edward just ignored Levi and continued watching the television.
In Dorothy’s room, she was consoling a weeping Mia.
“What happened Mia ?” Dorothy asked.
“He came back” Mia replied crying.
“Your ex boyfriend came back ?” she asked.
Mia sniffed her nose and replied “yes he came back and was apologizing for everything that happened, he said that he wants me back”.
“And what did you say to him ?” Dorothy asked.
“I told him to go to hell and rot in it” she replied.
“That’s my girl” Dorothy complimented.
“You don’t need him in your life Mia, you deserved better” Dorothy said.
“I know Doro but it hurts so much, I loved him with all my heart and he took my love for granted” Mia said.
“Forget about him and think about someone else like Edward” Dorothy suggested.
“No Doro, I think I should let the guy chose me because I was the one that chased Taylor and it resulted to this” Mia said.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“OK maybe you should take a break with relationships” Dorothy said and hugged her.
“Thank you so much Doro” she said hugging her back.
“Come let’s go to the kitchen, I made some chicken parmigiana” Dorothy said.
“I don’t want to anywhere, I just want to stay here” Mia said.
“OK wait here, let me get you the food” Dorothy said and left the room for the kitchen. She came back with a plate of food for Mia.
“Get up and eat Mia” Dorothy said to her.
She got up and collected the food from Dorothy and started eating.
“Don’t worry Mia, you will find someone better than him” Dorothy consoled.
“I know but it hurts so much” she lamented.
“It is OK you will heal with time” Dorothy said to her.
“I know I will” she replied and continued eating her food. After she was done eating, Dorothy turned on the television to their favourite channel and they started watching.
Meanwhile, Edward was in his room playing video games, he just can’t get his mind off the outburst of Mia. By the couple of times he had an encounter with her, she doesn’t look like someone who can ever be angry or in pain like this”.
“What could have made her to be heartbroken ?” he thought.
“Why am I even thinking about this girl, she is not important to me” he muttered and concentrated more on his video game but his mind kept drifting off to Mia.
Unable to concentrate, he came out of his room and started looking for her. He asked a maid if she saw her and the maid told him that she was in Dorothy’s room. He wanted to go to Dorothy’s room and see Mia but decided against it, knowing Calvin he wouldn’t like it if he learnt about him going to his wife room.
He went to the garden to clear his mind a little. Mia and Dorothy had left the room and was taking a stroll around the compound. They entered the garden, Mia saw Edward and pretended as if he was not there. Edward then came to where they were and asked her “are you okay”.
“That’s none of your business” Mia replied.
“Let’s get out of here” Mia said to Dorothy and they left the garden leaving a confused Edward.
“Where you trying to shoot your shot ?” Levi asked startling Edward.
“Why do you enjoy sneaking on people ?” Edward asked.
“I like their reactions” he replied.
“So did she say yes ?” he asked.
“Hell no ! I was just asking her if she was okay, I cannot ask her out she is not my type” Edward replied.
“You know a relationship counsellor said that fifty percent of people that says they don’t like a particular girl or boy actually likes them” Levi said.
“Well I am in the other fifty percent” Edward replied.
“Man just ask the girl out, you know you like her” Levi said.
“No I don’t and will never will” Edward said walking away.
“Where are you going ?” Levi called and followed him out of the garden.
Mia and Dorothy went to Dorothy’s room and they were feasting on a snack.
“That’s kinda harsh” Dorothy said.
“What is harsh ?” Mia asked.
“Talking to Edward like that” Dorothy replied.
“Doro I don’t give a shit about him, men are scums” she said.
“But not all men” Dorothy said.
“Yeah I know but basically all the men I have associated with are all scums, I wonder how many men in this world are not”.
“Believe me they are many you just have to find one” Dorothy said.
“OK but first I need to take a break” she said.
They finished eating their snack and Mia started preparing to leave.
They went to the kitchen and Dorothy packed some food and snacks for her.
“Here she comes” Levi said when Mia and Dorothy came outside the house. Edward looked at their direction and looked away.
“She is staring at you” Levi informed but Edward ignored him.
“Still staring intensively” Levi said.
“Deciding whether to come or leave”
“still deciding”
“Wow she is coming !” Levi whispered to Edward.
“Shut up” Edward. said to him.
“Hi handsome” Edward heard someone greeted from behind, he turned and found out it was Mia.
“Sorry about earlier, I didn’t mean to shout at you and your Boss, please forgive me” Mia said.
Edward did not hear what she was saying because he was busy admiring her face. Her thick eyelashes with a very beautiful blue eyes got him enchanted.
“Levi was right, this is probably the hottest girl I have ever seen” he thought.
“So will you forgive me ?” he heard Mia asked.
Edward wanted to hug her and say yes but instead he said ” I don’t bloody care” and walked away.
