Bab 6: Heart Beat.
Chapter Six.
"I won't leave you," She muttered and patted his back slowly; her hands were visibly shaking. However, she managed to control her emotions.
Since the light was still on, it didn't take long before Mia fell asleep while holding Richard tightly to herself. They both stay in each other embrace and Richard's breathing seems to return to normal as he sleeps deeply.
The next morning started with Richard waking up first; he was surprised to see their position, and his body reacted to Mia's lips instantly. Under the sunlight that penetrates through the curtain, Mia's snow-white skin reflects beautifully, and her pinkish lips seem captivating.
For a moment, Richard thought of the night they spent together and wished a night could happen again. Everything became so clear to him and he wanted to have a taste of those lips right on the bed.
Just then Mia squeezed her eyes open, causing Richard to flinch. "Pervert! Pervert!" He remarked as he left Mia's embrace… Richard didn't want to give Mia a chance to know that he was drooling over her face, so he quickly turned the table against her.
Meanwhile, Mia was trying to recover from the shock. Looking at the man she saved last night calling her a pervert?
"A pervert? Seriously! I helped you...." Mia stopped halfway when she realized that she almost spit it out, it wasn't a good idea to tell him about it. He might not be aware that he had a nightmare last night and if she tells him, it might hurt his feelings.
"What are you talking about?" Richard, who noticed that she stopped halfway, questioned instantly.
Mia didn't bother to respond; she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. A loud sound echoes as she closes the bathroom door.
In the Royal setting dining room, the maids and chefs are busy with so many things. Since they had additional people for breakfast, the preparation required a careful process, as Old Madam Brown hated careless preparation.
Everything was set! The table is filled with different meals and special delicacies for Richard. Old Madam Brown made it herself anytime Richard came to visit them in the mansion. Now that he bought a woman with him, Old Madam took her time to prepare this.
"Go upstairs and inform Mia that the breakfast is ready," Old Madam Brown said to a female maid, who nodded instantly before going upstairs.
Mia is already out of the bathroom, and it is Richard's turn; since she doesn't bring any dress with her, Mia changes into the same dress she had put on the previous day.
Then a knock came on the door…
"Who is that?" Mia opens the door to see the maid bowing to her leaving her breathless on the spot.
"Breakfast is ready; Old Madam is waiting for you." The maid bowed again and left.
No matter how she tries, she can't get used to her new lifestyle. She has been living like a maid in the Guilford household, and now, a maid is bowing to her. Is this a good fate or the opposite? She still can't believe that her grandparents are part of the famous billionaire family in San Francisco.
"Do you see a ghost or something?" Richard's voice came behind her and she snapped out of her daze before turning to him. It was surprising that Richard had changed into green pants with a white shirt, leaving the three first buttons undone.
Mia caught his captivating chest, and she had some wild thoughts immediately. However, her thought was short-lived with Richard's sarcasm.
"I know that I'm hot, but you don't have to make it obvious with your eyes," He said with a sneer.
Mia's cheeks turned scarlet instantly; it hit her hard on the spot, and she bit her bottom lip. "What did you mean? Who told you that you are hot? Someone like you has no difference with a teddy bear" She replied nonchalantly and turned to head out.
"Where do you think you are going?" Richard grabbed her hand and closed the door back with his leg. Now, his left hand is on her waist while his right hand is on her shoulder; his intensity is making Mia uncomfortable, and Richard seems to be enjoying the moment.
"What are you..." The short kiss stops her from saying a word further, and a cold spine runs through her veins. Richard just kissed her!
Meanwhile, Richard only planned to tease her, but his feelings took control, and he ended up tasting her lips.
When Mia came back to her senses, she pushed him off. "What is the meaning of all this?" She shot her a deadly glare.
Richard was stunned, for the first time, he was scared of a woman apart from his grandmother.
"I'm sorry...me....i..." He began to stammer, however, he composed himself at the end. "I wanted to give this" He manages to say and show Mia the T-shirt he was holding all along. That was his intention for stopping her.
Mia took a glance at the shirt and clenched her fist tightly. The atmosphere between them has become awkward and she has to avoid that. Taking the T-shirt from him, Mia muttered "Thanks"
After saying that, she rushes into the bathroom leaving Richard behind.
As soon as she left, Richard could hear the sound of his heartbeat. He touched his heart and took a deep breath, everything seemed confusing. Why does his heart become faster? Why did he feel like kissing her all day?

Ever since Mia, Vivian has been living the life she wanted just like before. However, she wasn't at ease after seeing Mia entering a luxurious car. How is that possible? Or is it that the guy is truly Richard Brown?
"No! No! That can't be! He didn't even bring a car when he came to take Mia, which means he can't afford it! Probably she saw the wrong person.." Vivian reassured herself not to think about it.
Just then, the door opened, revealing Eugene with a fruit juice. She seems to be in a good mood as she approaches her daughter.
"Hey, Mom!" Vivian called out.
"Hi, darling!" Eugene replied and dropped the juice on the table.
Vivian, who noticed her mother's mood, was quick to ask. "Is everything all right? You seem to be in a good mood"
"Yes, I am darling, and I've brought some good news for you," Eugene replied with a smile.
One of Vivian's crazy personalities is impatient; she doesn't like to prolong things and would love to know the root of the matter immediately. "What is the good news all about? " She demanded, her curiosity evident on her face.
"I've talked to your father, and he agreed to let you meet the Brown family as the household heiress," Eugene deadpan.
"Brown's Family??"
