Chapter 32: He is also my best friend
"Yes, the most handsome man is talking"
The playful tone was heard from the other side of the phone, making the young woman furrowed her brows in disgust. "Hello, it is me, Mia. The most beautiful and perfect woman on the world" she talked back while sitting on the couch.
A chuckle escaped Escort's lips, the answer from the young woman satisfied him. "So tell me why did the most beautiful and perfect woman call me?" He leaned back on the car's headboard, smiling in satisfaction. "Are you free today?"
Mia asked, making Escort Greyson raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Umm no.. but I can be free if you want me to" Escort smiled as Mia rolled her eyes in annoyance. That man could not live without flirting. "Then how about tomorrow?" She questioned again. "Why do you ask?"
Escort questioned back. "I just want to give your blazer back" the young woman answered. "Ah.. you can take it" the man smiled, but the woman refused. "No, Escort. I don't want to. Just tell me your location of the house and I will send the blazer with my bodyguard"
The man frowned at the young woman's words. "Why don't you come instead? I will cook you something as a lunch if you come" Escort spoke sweetly, making the young woman accept his offer. Unfortunately, the young woman did not accept his offer.
"No, thanks"
"Medias are dying to ask me thousand of questions. If they found me in your house, I will be dead meat" Mia replied. Escort frowned tightly, he did not like the reply of young woman. "But, we are friends. It is normal for friends to come over to each other homes"
"Don't be childish. They will never see us as friends and will even make false rumors" Mia spoke like a mother teaching her son about the cruel world. Escort sighed. "But I want to see your beautiful face" he sweetly spoke, flirting endlessly.
Mia rolled her eyes and pressed her lips in annoyance. "Then go search my name on social media, there are hundreds of photos of me" Mia said coldly, making Escort sighed tiredly. "I thought I made your heart flutter" the man's words made Mia laughed in satisfaction.
"Well then, you failed Mister Escort Greyson" the young woman chuckled. "At least, I made you smile and your voice brightened up my day" the man smiled, he was not flirting this time. He meant his words. He was telling the truth.
Mia fell into silence when she heard the serious voice of Escort. He was not lying nor flirting. She shrugged away her thoughts and ignored the man's sweet words. "Whatever, tell me the location of your house. I will send your blazer back today" she said with a stone face.
"Are you coming?"
Escort questioned. "No, I can't" the young woman replied. The man frowned and sighed. "I will send the location through message" he spoke as Mia thanked him. "Then bye, Escort" the young woman bid goodbye. "Bye, take care" Escort replied with a smile.
They two hung up the phone. Mia let out a loud sigh, she felt so tired. Being the daughter of famous companies owners was not easy. Everyone was watching the fault to drag down Theo and Camilla. They were trying to find faults in the famous couple's daughter everyday.
"This is so tiring" she murmured as leaned back on the couch. "Miss, your friend is here" Maki's granddaughter spoke, bringing Mia back from trying to sleep. "Oh, Bailey?" the young woman furrowed her brows in confusion. Her friend did not even tell her that she was coming.
"Yes?" Bailey walked into the house with a smile, Mia stood up from the couch and ran towards her friend. they two hugged tightly with smiles on their faces. "You did not even tell me" Mia frowned and released the hug. "Because I want to surprise you"
Bailey said as the two young women sat down on the sofa. "Please bring two glasses of orange juice" Mia ordered as Maki's granddaughter nodded and stepped out of the living room, leaving the two friends alone. "So tell me, what brought you here?"
Mia asked. "I just came here to check you since everyone is searching for you to answer their questions" Bailey said as she leaned back. "I am fine, my parents are helping me to cover the media" the young woman replied with a smile.
"That's good. Oh right. Dean Silas told me to tell you something. He is worrying about you a lot. He said 'Take care, Mia. Don't go outside alone. Call me if you need something'" Bailey imitated Dean's voice and spoke, making the young woman giggled.
"He is so cute"
Mia replied with a grin, Bailey frowned. "Don't tell me.." "No, Bailey. It is not like that. I did not mean like that. I meant in the close friends way. I can imagine his nervous face while telling you to deliver that message" Mia explained with a serious face.
Bailey narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "I am telling the truth, Bailey. Don't look at me like that" Mia raised her eyebrows. "Well well. Whatever" Bailey shrugged away her thoughts, not thinking anymore. "By the way, you should never go near to George Seith again"
Mia furrowed her brows at the name. "I know, I don't want to go near him too" she replied with a disgusted face. "I think he is a psychopath who thinks you are in love with him. Eww just thinking about that makes me feel disgusted"
Bailey's upper lip curved up, making a disgusted face. "Let's talk about something else. I don't want to hear about him" Mia said with wrinkled eyebrows. "Alright, let's talk about your relationship with Escort Greyson" Bailey raised her eyebrow and smiled.
Mia sighed tiredly. "Come on.. we are just friends" she replied, already knowing what her friend was thinking. "He is not a good man! I mean I know that he helped you that night but still he is a player! What if you fall for him and he left you? I am talking for you"
There were worries written on Bailey's face. She did not want to see her friend crying in the corner again just because of a man. That Escort Greyson was the man with sweet talks who would make you fall for him then leave you alone in the end.
"Who said I'll fall for him?"
Mia furrowed her brows and glared at her friend. "He is a playboy, I know that but he is not a bad friend. He treats me like a real friend. It is ok so don't worry too much before your hair start to turn white" Mia teased as she ruffled her friend's hair.
Bailey pressed her lips. "Yea yea. I understand" she rolled her eyes. "Are you hungry? Our head maid's dishes are the best, you know. Do you want to taste?" Mia wiggled her brows, calling her friend to eat with her together. "Do I even have a chance to refuse?"
Bailey raised her eyebrow, knowing that she had to eat even if she did not want to. "Ahaha, no. You can't refuse" Mia dragged Bailey to the dining room, ready to eat lunch with her friend. "Oh you can put them down on the table" Mia ordered.
Maki's granddaughter just finished making orange juices but the two young women were already sitting at the table, ready to eat lunch. She nodded in understatement and placed the glasses in front of the two young women.
"When we finish eating, let's have a tea time in the garden" Mia smiled at her friend as Bailey nodded in agreement. "As you like" they two ate the lunch peacefully. After finishing eating lunch, they two went to the garden.
"Please sit, Mia"
Bailey frowned in annoyance at the sight of Mia dancing to her imaginary song. "You look like a fool right now. Sit down!" Bailey raised her upper lips in disgust as Mia laughed out loud at her friend's reaction. "I look beautiful, right?" Mia sat down across her friend.
"In your dreams" Bailey rolled her eyes, making the young woman giggled in satisfaction. Maki and her granddaughter poured the tea into the two young women cups. "Is that green tea?" Mia looked up at Maki and asked.
"Yes, it is green tea, Miss" Mia nodded as Bailey took a sip. "You can rest now, I will call when we need help" Mia spoke as Maki and Maki's granddaughter thanked her. "Then please excuse me, Miss" the two left the two young women in the garden.
"The weather is really nice" Bailey said as she looked up at the sky. They were sitting under the shade so the sunlight could not lay on them. "Yea" Mia agreed with her friend. "Umm, Mia. There is a man standing behind you"
Bailey pointed at the place where the man was standing. Mia furrowed her brows and looked back. "Lorcan!" she called out his name, "Why are you standing there? Come here!" Lorcan hesitated for awhile. But the young woman was calling him nonstop.
In the end, he went near to her, "Good afternoon, Mia" he greeted with a stone face. "Good afternoon. I called you because I have a work for you" Mia smiled at the man as the man waited for her to continue.
Bailey frowned, she observed the man and the young woman quietly. Why was the man calling her friend 'Mia'? Why was her friend smiling at the man? Her friend did not even mind about the man calling her just by first name.
"I will come back"
Mia spoke as she stood up from the seat, going into the house with Lorcan, leaving Bailey in pool of confusion alone. "What the f-" Bailey frowned. Mia walked up to her room with Lorcan. She stepped into the room and grabbed the bag on the table. She handed it to the man.
"Send this bag to this location" Mia showed the location to the man. Lorcan nodded in understatement. "I understand. Anything else?" he asked, Mia shook her head. "Then please excuse me" he left the villa.
Mia went back to the garden with quick steps. Bailey was sipping green tea while spacing out. "Sorry.." Mia brought Bailey back from train of thoughts. "Isn't that your bodyguard?" Bailey asked with a frown, she was talking about Lorcan obviously.
"Yes, he is also my best friend"
