CHAPTER 75: UNIQUE FLOWER

"you take care of her , you have my permission"lily said to Ryan ,she gave him a light tap on his shoulder with a wide smile plastered on her lips

"permission for what?" mia asked walking down the stairs as she had gone to her room to change her clothes,her black hair combed and let down with some resting on her shoulders.

"to take you out"Ryan replied when mia got closer to them. After bidding her mum goodbye,the duo headed outside and stood where Ryan's car has been parked,mia turned to him"you didn't seek permission when. you took me out of the city and now you are asking for it" she knew if Ryan wanted he would have taken her where ever he wants without the need to tell her mum about it.

"I met your mother at home and it had been such a long time,it would be wrong not to tell her that I came for her daughter wouldn't it"

Mia was about to say something when Ryan said"she gave permission for you to live with me and with grandfather not around you wouldn't have to feel uncomfortable with his talks " Ryan leaned on the side of his car, watching and observing the girl who stood in front of him.

" he left?" mia questioned as the information was rather a surprise for her but then she knew the old man wasn't living there in the first place.

Ryan hummed"but not girl long,think of it as him going on a vacation as he can come back anytime but until then let's make the most of it but it also leaves us with those two brats " he was talking about Jason and Lucy. Apart from his grandfather pestering him to get married,Jason and Lucy constant bickering and fights was enough to give one an headache.

"let's stop by the flower shop " mia said and it had Ryan wonder why.

At the flower shop, colourful flowers were arranged at the front,placed in front of transparent glass windows for display so that those walking by would be able to notice.

The shopkeeper was attending to another costomer trying to convince them to bye as he brought flowers to their liking. The place was neatly arranged much to people's taste. On noticing the couple that had just walked in while they scanned the place as if searching for a particular type of flower.

We was quick to meet them at the front and welcome them "good day to you both,how many I help you?'" the shopkeeper with a thin mustache gave a small smile.

"blue flowers please" mia was the one to speak, somewhere she didn't have a particular type of flower in mind.The shopkeeper replied with "do you have a particular type of flower in mind?"

Mia gave it some thought as she hadn't particularly thought of what type of flower she wanted "forget me not should do" the man left to get the flowers from the other side of the shop that was not seen by people..

Ryan leaned in ,he whispered beside her ear "do you just have to buy one particular type of flower? he saw mia turned to look at him where their noses brush against each other.

"I don't have any use for more..." she paused,Ryan on the other hand was waiting for her to continue.

"I remember you have a small garden on the balcony of your room,it could really use some colour,you can buy some flowers for it"

"I didn't know you were snooping around my room in the past" he tilted his head to the side. Mia pursed her lips trying to find ways to invade the question,she wasn't going to tell him she had entered his room behind his back.Mia remembered the wall in his room wasn't painted with bright colours but it was enough for one to be in awe.

"I don't need to answer that" mia finally spoke.

Ryan turned to his side to notice roses that were arranged,he picked on of the red flowers bringing it in front of mia whilst he twirled it in between his fingers "people say roses are symbol of love...but I don't like roses"

A small drown made its way on Mia's face as she asked "why?"

"it's too common there are other flowers that signifies love other than this "although he said it Ryan still placed the flower on the side of her hair,he commented "it looks beautiful on you but it doesn't mean I won't buy you something else"Ryan didn't like the flower for as long as he can remember but it didn't mean he wasn't going to deny how beautiful it looked on Mia.

A small blush appeared on Mia's cheek,her hand reaching up to touch the flower on her hair. She looked around seeing no one was looking on their direction,she stood on her toes before kissing Ryan on the cheek.

"is that all i get?" be asked and mia didn't know how to reply "that's not good enough for a kiss" she heard Ryan say.

"I think that's good enough" mia shrugged using her hand to touch the flower again and at the same time the shop keeper appeared with the flowers

A huge mansion stood tall and strong on its foundation with water fountain in the middle with small flowers on the surroundings area. Inside one of the many rooms, grandpa sat comfortably on the couch,he arrived earlier and now busied himself by reading the magazine in his hand. On the small table in the middle sat hot tea that was half finished accompanied by a biscuit on a tray.

The door to the room clicked open and after a while grandpa heard it close with a sift thud as if someone had just walked in. The old man closed his eyes, irritated with the fact that someone had walked in without feeling the need to knock. He heard light footsteps from behind him before it came to an halt in front of the old man.

Putting down the magazine that obstructed his view if the person, grandpa leaned forward to take the tea before taking a sip from it,he said "I suppose I don't need to teach you knock,you are way past that age".

The person didn't react to the comment but replied "I hope you are not upset"he sat on the couch opposite to the one grandpa was sitting on "I thought to come see you after all it's been a while"

After drinking the tea until the last drop, grandpa placed the cup on the table and said "you wouldn't know I'll be here unless you have been keeping an eye"the old man wore a blank expression making it hard for one to know what was going on in his mind .

"you can choose to stay in either of the mansion anytime you wish it is why I had to confirm your whereabouts"Charles said to his father,his gone barely changing as he spoke,he was the son of the old man who now say in front of him.

"I'm guessing you came here not just because you missed me"he knew hai son well enough to come to that conclusion

"you are right"Charles didn't deny his father's words as he stared at him calmly "I don't need to further explain why I am here and what I need"

"when his this going to stop?"

"when Ryan transfers the company under my name,I'm better gut to run it instead of him you should know that" Charles glared
