Selfish

Chapter 63: Selfish

"What do you mean that she can't even save herself?"

A confusion have arisen inside of Madam Hera. She was aware of the situation that Mia was thrown into with Kevin dealing with Great Records.

What more could have happened?

"I don't know if I even have the right to tell this to you but since we are in the topic and I now know that I could trust you" then Argon's face manifested sadness on a different level.

"She's dying"

Madam Hera was frozen on the spot.

That kid that saved her years ago, the reason of the start of changes in her life that led her to where she is right now is dying?

"What do you mean dying" she said in a low voice.

"She had an accident two years ago, apparently, a blood clot have develop due to the accident"

"Then we could have that remove thru an operation"

"She already passed the stage where she could have a surgery, the blood clot have become a tumor"

Argon talked to her doctor, Florence the very next morning that Ysa told him the situation.

He doesn't want to believe that there no cure, at the current times that they are now and with the technology that medicine have advance to, it's more than impossible that they couldn't do a single

thing.

But what he feared was true, it wasn't death that Mia feared but her memories.

Talking to Florence confirmed that, it was also the reason that her previous doctor have told Florence

why she declined to have the operation 2 years ago,

"A memory loss would be the least side effect of the operation" he shared to Madam Hera.

Her maternal instinct kicked in, for her that kid is almost her child, she never have a family of her own but she treasure Mia more than what other person could think.

"How could this be" then she started to shed some tears "how could that kid live such a life"

"Currently, the other members are still not aware of the situation, even Mia don't know that I am aware of her situation" Argon handed over his handkerchief to Madam Hera who is crying in front of him.

"She's really stubborn" Argon just bitterly smiled.

After gathering herself, Madam Hera holds Argon's hands.

"Please if there is anything that I could do, whatever it may be, let me know" she said with full conviction.

"Will do Madam, will do"

"I have told you that I would rather work in silence that you staying here and keeps on asking me what's what, I won't be able to finish this in time, I am telling you"

Mia is just plain irritated.

She just want to drag the person who just barged in her studio and kept on asking her question, she can't even finish what she should have finished hours ago,

"Alright, alright, I'll keep my silence"

Lance Gregory is much more annoying right now, she would rather have the Evil PD.

"You much more annoying right now than when you're still keeping your Evil PD act." Mia then

continued working in front of the computer and started working on a film scoring.

"Wow"

Now that Lance have kept quiet, little by little Mia is getting absorbed into her work, she is beginning to forget that he even exists in her studio.

Lance on the other hand can only stare at her work at awe, he never saw anyone work with sounds before.

As a PD he have sat down in the editing machine before and even do it by himself but sounds and audio have never been his territory.

Mia is currently working on a new pre-produced drama that is set to premiere two weeks from now, that's why she needs to finish it as soon as possible, she still need to preview it with the director to

get his approval.

"Sorry, I just can't help but ask, how can you decide what kind of score you are going to use" Lance's curiosity got the better of him.

"You just feel it" then Mia continued to work "I do sometimes ask the writer what kind of feeling do they want to be felt in that particular scene"

"The writer?" it irritated Lance because as far as he knows it is always the director have the final say when it comes to the artistic side "don't you have to ask the director himself?"

"I don't even have to ask the director, most of you just tell what you guys want and leave the work with me, but in the case of some drama that have different a different writer, I always want to ask

them what are they feeling when they write a particular scene"

Then Mia just kept on minding her own business.

Mia just wants to keep the innocent feeling that the writers feel when they wrote a particular scene or feel, most of them don't have a control on what will the final visual will be, helping them convey the feelings that they first felt while writing is the only thing that she can do.

"Are you always like this?" Lance asked out of nowhere causing Mia to stop what she's doing

"Always what?" she looked at Lance and see his serious face.

"Don't you have things you want to do?" he then moved closer to her "You always place others first before your own, do things not because you wanted to do them but because it is the right thing to do"

Mia just smiled at him and shook her head while chuckling

"I don't do things that I don't want to do Lance, the things that you see are things that I want to do, not because they asked me too"

Then she looked at him straight to the eyes.

"I am the most selfish person that you will encounter in your life" then she just laughed again and just continued working on her computer.

Lance understood what she is trying to say to him, but as far as he's standard, she is the most selfless person he have ever met in his life.
