Chapter 31 Spies and Players

Mia stood giantly at the doorway, awaiting Tristan's return. She had ordered the maids to search everywhere for him, he possibly can't hide from her, can he?

She was tired of waiting already, why won't he just come. With eyes popping out dazzling round the compound and ears standing erect she stamped her feets on the floor, clenching her fist, she was mad.

"You!" She flared, "where have you been, breakfast is almost set." She spoke huskily the moment Tristan walked in.

She didn't bother about the tired woman standing beside him, she just wanted him to explain to her why he dashed out of the house without informing her.

Tristan, stupefied at the behavior she just portrayed before, looked at her for some seconds trying to figure out what problem she had with him going out.

Seeing that she wasn't ready to drop the long face she wore he decided to act cool and get her a disturbing answer. "I went for a run with my partner." He said, smiling at Cleopatra.
