Are You Mirabel?
Chapter Four.
There is nothing to gain if she continues to drag the matter with him, it was certain that Richard will be the one to win since he was right. The only thing she could do is to accept her fate and accept the contract. At least, she will has nothing to lose.
"I will sign the contract" She accepted slowly.
Richard smile secretly, his logic is working. No one could beat him easily not even with this strategy. "You have to sign the agreement and go through the terms and conditions" He tap on the file before passing it to her.
Mia took the file, go through it and felt satisfy except the last part. "Only you can end the contract?" She was surprised to see such terms, only heard of a one year agreement or probably two years not this type of agreement.
"Exactly Miss Mia, don't forget I bought you with my money" Richard reminded her sternly, using his logic again.
All the agreement terms is good except that one, she would have access to good food and some other things of pleasure. What would be her reason to object then?
In a swift moment, Mia signed the contract agreement. At that moment, Richard's phone ring out and Grandma with love emoji appear on the phone screen.
Richard sigh heavily, he knew what the topic is going to be all about which is marriage. His grandma always nag at him any chance she got, and that seems to be annoying at times.
With a little hesitation, he pick up. "Hello Granny" He said as the call connected.
A groggy voice sound out from the other end. "What took you so long to pick my call? Do you want me to die of anger?" Even her voice sounds weak but one could noticed the firmness in the voice.
"I'm sorry Granny" He apologize in a calm tone. By then, his cold face has become smitten that got Mia wondering if that was the man that speak few minutes ago.
"What kind of grandson are you? I'm getting old everyday, you refuses to give a great grandchild and you keep getting on my nerves" Old Madam Brown spat angrily on the phone. It was true that Richard might make her died of anger.
Richard, who knew it was going to be the same topic had a smirk on. It seems his grandma won't died after all, she would be shocked instead. "Opps Granny, I was sorting things out with my wife when you called. We are planning to come over and pay you a visit"
The last part rechoe in Old madam's ear, it was as if she didn't hear quite right. "What did you just say?" She asked again to confirm what she heard in the first place.
"Exactly what you heard Granny" Richard replied.
When one heard a good news, the Joy can't be confide in. Old Madam Brown inform the Old master immediately and he took over the phone. "I'm proud of Son" Grandpa declared.
Although the two grandparents always nag at Richard, but the Old Master still maintain some peace unlike the Old Madam who always threatened Richard.
"If you don't want your grandma dead, bring your wife over for dinner" She threatened again.
Richard knew no one could win her when she threatened about something, the best choice is do what she wanted.
"Alright Granny, see you tonight" As soon as Richard finish talking, the phone disconnected making a beep sound.
Mia was just watching all along, he seems like a different person while talking with his grandparents but was totally indifferent towards others. Now that she give a deep thoughts about this, does that mean she will be getting married to the most famous Richard Brown? Not just that, she would meet the Old Brown's family?
Wow! It seems the luck was on her side.
"Miss Mia, since you are fully dressed, why don't we go to the civil affairs before heading to my family house" Richard suggested and Mia nodded instantly.
Checking his wristwatch, Richard stand up on his feet. "We still have two hours left before the civil affairs close for the day. Let's hurry and take your passport first" The eagerness in Richard's voice shows he can't wait to see his grandparents.
Richard was the first to go out , then Mia follow while Kendrick was the last person to leave the sitting.
About an hour later, Mia has holding the certificate in her hand. "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Brown, you are now married to each other" A clever looking lady shake hands with Mia and Richard before they walk out.
Once outside, Richard turn to Mia. "Now that we are already married, it's time to put your skills into act" He uttered.
Mia understand what he meant and respond instantly. "Don't worry Master Richard, I will do a great Job" For unknown reasons, she suddenly felt free around him.
Although Richard was taken aback, but he kept his composure. "And I would love if you can call my name when we get there" He remarked before entering the car.
"Okay Rich... Richard" Even if find if awkward but the name sounds sweet in her mouth. Kendrick close the car door as soon as Mia entered and he drove off slowly.
Just as they left, Vivian was trying to explain what she saw to herself. "Is that not Mia? Why would she enter such expensive car?" She was left speechless with different thought.
Williams also appear behind and tap her slightly, causing her to flinch. "What is the matter?" He asked.
"Huh? It's nothing! Nothing!" She quickly wore a smile and respond.
"Okay let's go" Williams wrap his hand round her neck, they both come to the brand store across the civil affairs while on a date. Meanwhile, Vivian has the intention of digging into Mia's husband.
Now in the Brown's family house, a lot of preparation was made with Old Madam inspecting everything carefully. Also another family seems to be present, it was the Scottish family who has been friends with the Brown's family over the years.
Not quite long, the Rolls Royce pulled up in the compound and Richard step out with Mia.
"Are you prepared for this?" He asked.
Mia take a deep breathe and replied. "Yes I am"
They both walk into the mansion with so many maid bowing as soon they saw them until they finally entered the sitting room, where the families are waiting.
Just as they step in, the old Madam of Scottish family become shocked to see the lady that resemble her late daughter.
"Are you Mirabel?"
