Tonight?" Mia looked surprised and confused
" Yes , your mother's secretary just arrived in the City and gave me this " August said handing over the file in her hands
Mia could not believe her eyes . Her mother had managed to locate her again . She had managed to keep a low profile this time but the Crazy Woman of the West had to find her just as she thought that she had been successfully forgotten.
So now she had to go to this ' date ' She sighed
" Whose rich man's son is it this time ?" Mia asked while scanning the document. She stopped midway
"The Raichand have a son ?" She raised her eyebrows
" It... seems ...so "August who was also shocked answered.
" I won't go" Mia said with certainty
" Oh no no no, hell no" August rushed in front of Mia as if trying to stop her thoughts from running wild
" Remember the last time you did that. You could not leave the country, buy anything, find a job ... you couldn't do anything..." August breathed in some air before continuing
" You know the Crazy Woman of the West very well, just go to the date, sit there for about thirty minutes,smile and drink a sip or two of champagne and leave ... simple okay? "August tried to persuade her
There was a silence in the tent that a pin could have been heard drop. August looked at Mia with hope.
She could not let the incident from four years ago to repeat itself.
After running away from home, Mia's mother gave her a condition that she could only do what she wanted if she got herself married. That was a big No No for Mia. So from then on Mia's mother or rather the' Crazy Woman of the West' had been arranging dates for Mia so that she could get married so that there would not be any risk of Mia suddenly coming back to the Roberto Mansion to claim her father's businesses.
Unfortunately four years ago Mia being Mia had run away from her date. As her punishment, her mother made it so that she could not get any job in the country, neither could she buy anything, let alone stay or rent anywhere. From then on Mia had gone to every arrange date in exchange for her freedom.
But this time she suddenly decided not to and August was having none of it
" Mia you are going to that date, even if it means that l have to drag you there or drug you and take your body there, l would not mind." August said looking directly into her eyes
" Is this a challenge?" Mia slowly approached her
" Does it look like one?" August was not backing down. This was a do-or-die situation. A situation that would determine Mia's freedom as much as hers.
" You look cute when you are serious" Mia winked at August
" I am not buying that" August saw through her facade
Mia raised her hands in defeat
" Fine, thirty minutes it will be ... okay ... happy? Let's go and prepare or else l will be late" Mia smiled at August and started walking out of the tent to where their car was parked
August knew that Mia was planning something else.
She wanted to run away from having her date.
She had to do something.
She smiled wickedly at Mia's back
