Episode 4: Annoying

The boss goes into the house while Dara, Jackson, and Ethan who went in after giving Mia another glare. Mia rolls her eyes and goes in with them.

They all stopped at the living room which was beautifully decorated with white paint. The sitting room is divided into two with a couch separating them.

At the right are five couches, two placed parallel to each other with a long couch placed by their left facing the plasma television placed firmly on the wall.

On the left part of the room is a dining table with seven seats and the table is set for dinner.

“Sofia" the boss called out with his hands in his pockets as he relaxes on the long couch

A tall and slender lady walks into the sitting room holding a bowl covered and places it on the dining table.

“When did I become of so much importance that you have to scream my name, Henry" Sofia said

She sounded very mature but she does not look like she is up to thirty. Mia kept on operating her phone and lifted her head once in a while.

“She's here," Henry said

Sofia looks up at Mia and looked surprised at first but composed herself in the next second. She was surprised to see Mia covering her face. She never expected that.

“Hen, why is her face covered?" Sofia asked

Henry stood upright and glanced at Mia who seemed uninterested and concentrating on her phone screen. She is not surprised by Sofia's behavior. She was used to it by now.

“She does not like people seeing her face," Henry said walking past Sofia

“And what if she is one of our enemies?" Sofia said facing him

Henry turns around slightly with his hands still in his pockets. “I'll know and that should not be your problem," he said and faces forward “You should show her her room not question her custom" Henry concluded and disappeared into the house further

Sofia sighed and walks up to Mia. Mia turns off her phone and puts it into her jacket's pocket.

“Hi, I'm Sofia. I guess you know that already" Sofia said giving Mia a handshake “Sorry, about my behavior, I'm just trying to be careful" she said

Mia nods. “So I guess you've met them already and you know their names," Sofia said glancing at the guys

Mia nods again staring at Sofia. “Okay guys, could you help her with her bags," Sofia said

“It has been sent to her room," Jackson said grabbing the television remote as he sits

“Oh okay," Sofia said

“Did you expect us to help her, I'm sure she could have done that herself" Ethan said glaring at Mia

“Ethan" Sofia called out reprimanded by and Ethan hissed

“Follow me, let me show you to your room," Sofia said and leads Mia to her room

Mia's room was painted red and it had a reading table on the left and a bed with a blue bedsheet is on the right facing the reading table. Mia scans around and spots her bags placed on the ground close to the large wardrobe.

“Hey, are you thinking about Ethan?" Sofia said

Mia felt lost as she stared at her room. She was always the one that made a choice but now she is given what they have. She moved around scanning the room and picking up her bag and she remained quiet. Sofia felt she felt hurt and asked her about it.

“I don't want you to bother about him. You can just see him as annoying" Sofia said

Mia nods and unpacks her bag. “You don't talk much? Or you don't talk? You always nod every time I say something" Sofia said

Mia clears her throat. “I didn't want to speak," she said glancing at Sophia

“Alright, your voice is beautiful anyway," Sophia said and walked to the door “Come down for dinner," she said and opened the door “I feel you behave like Ethan," Sophia said and left Mia's room shutting the door

Mia glanced at her phone again one last time before she began unpacking. She did not want to leave her clothes wrapped up in bags for another minute.

On the dining table, Henry arrived, and everyone was seated ready for dinner but Mia was not present on the table.

“Where is she?" Henry asked

“She must be in her room" Sophia replied

“Didn't you inform her?" Henry asked

“I did" Sophia replied

“Could we eat and let her be in her room hungry? She wants preferential treatment" Ethan said grabbing his plate

“Go and get her" Henry ordered

“I?" Ethan asked

Henry nods taking his plates filled with food. Ethan sat still staring at Henry who was now eating his food. He did not want to get Mia.

“Why are you still here?" Henry asked

Ethan gradually stood up and was about to leave the table when Jackson stood up. “I'll go," he said and left the dining table in a hurry

He got to Mia's room and knocked but there was no reply but after another knock, the door was opened.

“Hi," Mia said with a smile

“Hi, we are having dinner come join us," Jackson said

“I'll be there soon, let me change my clothes. I just had a bath" Mia said

Jackson nods and goes back to the dining table. “Where is she?" Henry asked

“She will be down soon. She wanted to change" Jackson said

“Just to have dinner? She is gonna be a piece of work" Ethan said

“Why do you have a problem with her on her first day?" Dara asked smiling “Do you know her?" he said

“No" Ethan retorted “I can't know such an individual," he said

“Have your meals" Sophia said irritated with Ethan's behavior

Mia got dressed and sat on her bed. She was impressed with herself for actually leaving her kingdom to some other place. She admired her room for a while then laid down on her bed with her feet still on the ground.

She grabbed her phone and scrolled through it and tapped on the messenger app. She text and once she sends it she stands puts the phone in her pocket, sighs before walking out of her room acting as calm as she could be.
