CHAPTER 64: GIRLFRIEND FOR THE NIGHT

Ryan led her to the party that we as just about to start,the hall was big a lot of people were present including reporters that were excited to have something exciting on their channels. She noticed the workers of his company that were there.

At the other,she noticed Lucy fighting over something with Jason. She smiled feeling a few eyes in her. There was a stage and seats were arranged I the vast Hall,each already occupied,a few if the guests stayed upstairs, chatting happily excited for the party. The atmosphere was lively, Alex,Chris, Hannah sat together,they waved at her. She didn't notice Alexa with them. .

She then looked up to see the girl talking to someone upstairs.

"are you okay?"Ryan asked noticing the way she looked around. Mia nodded.

He led her to the front which was empty,but was occupied by grandpa. She hadn't seen the hold man in along time,she misses his presence and wondered if the old man's opinion about her had changed. She was sure that he found out the truth.

Mia gave a slight now as she smiled to the man who welcomed her with the same smile but sent a glare to his grandson who rolled his eyes. Mia sat beside him,she could see girls looking at her with envy, whispering to each other. Grandpa sat on the right side of Ryan while she was at the left. The ceremony began with host giving her speech.

"how have you been Mia?" she heard grandpa asked,he was looking at her waiting for her response. At first mia felt he wasn't talking to her.

"it good grandpa, thank you" mia replied her voice a little shaky.

"congratulations on your achievement"she added

"you too"

"did you two get back together?"grandpa suddenly asked Ryan. On hearing that Mia felt her heart skip but remained calm

"or is it another contract"

"regardless it's not your business I don't intend to give you a response"Ryan replied curtly

Grandpa didn't reply after that and Mia felt uncomfortable. Regardless of what relationship she shared with Ryan in the past the man still treated her well the way he used to and she was truly grateful for that. They laughed over some things while enjoying the performance on stage

Silence came between them as they listen to the host and the performance.

Not long after the old man left leaving Ryan alone with Mia. He hadn't intend to come in the first place as he expected his grandson to take care of everything since he now runs the entire company. Before he left he shred a look with Ryan before leaving. Mia noticed this and stared at the man beside her who didn't seem affected. She didn't understand the kind if language they speak even till this moment. Grandpa would just look at Ryan and the latter would immediately understand

"is everything ok?" It didn't involve her neither was it her business but she felt the need to ask Ryan that question.

"I'm fine".

Now the host was back on stage stating the achievement of the company over the years including the one of gaming and comics and architecture. She wanted to ask why he runs two different things but before she could do that ,Ryan was called to the stage to give a speech. She listens to him as his deep voice resounding through the speakers as the young ladies drool over his beauty..

By the time he was done ,they both went up the stairs, on the way people came to congratulate him at the same time asking about Mia's identify.

At one point she excused her self to go to the bathroom. She checked her reflection in the mirror,she thought of everything that happened what grandpa had said the kiss, pretending to be his girlfriend for one night just for Lucy,the people who was curious about their relationship. She sighed wanting to process everything,some part if her wanted her relationship with Ryan to be real while the other part wondered if it would be possible.

The dress Ryan chose for was out of the world,it suits, matches her flawless skin.

The door suddenly clicked open,from the corner of her eyes she saw it to be Sasha

"hey Mia long time no see"

Mia couldn't help but smile, after a long time she met this witch again.

"what do you want?"Mia replied facing her this time.

"that's rude..."

"get to the point"

"why are you here?"Sasha asked

"I think it's quiet obvious"mia curtly said

"I thought you broke up with your boyfriend after all I haven't seen you guys together" Sasha respond

"so you've been spying,as expected"mia smiled"think of something that will had value to your life Sasha stop trying to get what is impossible,you are just useless in every language"mia snapped

"I didn't think so,you can't just take what's rightfully mine"

"he's not yours he was never yours to begin with plus he doesn't see you"mia was getting pissed she tried controlling her anger"also don't you ever approach me otherwise"mia warned

Sasha was already red from anger, before she could retaliate mia left slamming the door.

On her way she met Ryan , Hannah had texted that they would leave anytime and she have her phone with Through out the party she noticed the latter had been avoiding Jason who tried to speak to her.

"congratulations"Mia said once they were upstairs where it wasn't filled with people,it was the terrace that was brightly decorated. Ryan had led her there since they she asked about his decision only for him to take her there. Chairs and tables were placed there,mia could tell some people where here due to the half filled bottle of wine that was on the other ones.

"you too"Ryan sat down on one of the chairs and signalled mia to do the same.

"so..."

"I'll accept it"he replied and saw Mia's eyes lit up in delight,she couldn't believe her ears,Ryan nodded in confirmation

"thank you"

"hum Ryan why do run both architecture and game companies"

Ryan was quiet for a while before he opened his mouth to speak.

"it was normally based on architecture but I had passion for games so I developed that with the help of grandpa"he explained and Mia nodded.

Time passed and Mia and Ryan are chatting and laughing. Mia continued to drink wine because of how delicious it tastes. She was about to take another gulp when Ryan seized it from her.

"you are getting drunk"he scolded,mia pouted her lips at him which he ignored

He helped her up,they had spent several hours on the terrace and people were already leaving,mia completely forgot about Hannah. They were both at the parking lot in front of Ryan's car. He helped her in and fastened her seatbelt before going to the driver's seat and taking her home. He had noticed non of her friends are at the venue and had to drive her home,he couldn't leave her alone since the alcohol was slightly in control of her senses
