Chapter 3 - First Meeting (2/2)

”Mister? Mister?” she snapped her fingers breaking the trance that had befallen him.

”I'm sorry about that,” he got back on his feet, ”Watch while you're crossing the road.”

”Th… Thank you,” she muttered and scampered across the road.

Honestly, she wasn't his type.

When he arrived home, sure as hell, Mia was there.

”Tada!!” she exclaimed as she showed him his dinner.

”You really out did yourself,” he said as he took a seat.

The Shitake fried rice with water chestnuts tasted amazing. Mia, definitely had it down when it came to cooking. His previous flings weren't so good in cooking; it didn't bother him though. He could just hire a chef. Then again, aren't all girls supposed to know how to cook? The girl from earlier flashed across his mind. Why?

After dinner, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

Why?

Why her?

She was so plain.

He knew he shouldn't bother about it as he may never see her again.

”What's wrong?” asked Mia who just stepped out of the bathroom and was drying her brunette hair.

He looked at her; measuring and comparing her features to the other girl. Mia had a good body; she wasn't as pale as the other girl but she was blessed naturally with her figure.

He got up and walked over to the dresser and brought a pair of glasses and handed it over to her, ”Wear this.”

She shot him a confused look, but still put on the glasses, ”Like this?”

It wasn't enough but it'll have to do.

”Good, get on the bed,” he said as he began to undress.

Mia, was used to this. He would come back from work meetings and come to her for warmth. She knew he needed the affection. The poor baby still tosses and turns at night because of his nightmares.

The moment he grabbed Mia his phone chirped. It was a message from an acquaintance; one he owed a favor.

'Is that secretary job still available?'
