Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 51

She pressed her ear against the door and asked, "Andre, are you taking a shower?"

"Yep."

"Do you feel dizzy? Should I get someone to help you?"

Andre: "Not feeling dizzy."

Mia politely said, "Alright then, just holler if you need help."

"You mean to scrub my back?" Andre teased.

Next thing he knew, the bathroom door was kicked by Mia. Andre could feel the kick was more like aimed at him, "I'll call Hansen to scrub your back for you."

She sat on the couch, her mind turning. Would he remember anything once he sobered up?

If he didn't remember, he wouldn't know about their kiss. But if he did remember, things would be pretty awkward between them.

Mia looked up and sighed. Her first kiss was just gone like that.

Before long, Andre really called her, "Mia."

"What's up? You're not really asking me to scrub your back, are you?"

Andre asked, "Where's the bath towel?"

"I put it away. I thought we were leaving tonight, hang on, I'll go get it for you."

Mia ran to the cloakroom, found the white bath towel she had put away, held it in her arms and quickly walked to the bathroom door.

She knocked on the door, "Can you crack open the door so I can hand you the bath towel?"

Andre swallowed, he didn't even grab a bath towel and pajamas while taking a shower! Now he was only relying on her help.

Andre unlocked the door and cracked it open. He saw Mia's eyes tightly closed as he reached out for the towel.

He found it amusing. Tying the bath towel around, he walked out of the bathroom.

Mia was stunned. He was half naked, and his muscles were visible, which she could see very clearly. Mia even noticed the hair on his abdomen and waist.

Her face turned from white to pink, and finally to red.

Andre was wiping his hair, enjoying the change of Mia's face color.

"You're blushing like that, then why are you still looking at me?"

Mia said stubbornly, "I'm not blushing. When I go swimming, some guys wear even less than you."

"Then why are your ears so red?"

"I, I'm hot!"

Mia made an excuse and turned around to leave. She didn't look at Andre anymore.

Andre chuckled and went to the cloakroom to change into his pajamas.

When he came out, Mia had already put his dinner on the table.

"It's not that fresh anymore, just make do with it. It's late and the servants are off. No one's cooking for you."

Andre sat on the couch.

Mia handed him a fork, "You can eat. I haven't touched the food I left for you."

When she reached the living room, Mia stopped when she saw Naomi. Naomi was also stunned when she saw her.

Both of them were afraid of quarreling with each other.

Coincidentally, they had the same destination. Both of them silently got their own water by the water dispenser.

It was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the water running from the water dispenser.

"When are you guys moving out tomorrow?" Naomi looked at the water outlet. Her tone was no longer sharp. Maybe it was because it was night, and she was tired. She looked a lot softer.

Mia: "Depends on when Andre sobers up."

Naomi finished getting water, she held up her glass and said to Mia, "Don't come back after you leave. Whatever the Cedillo family owes Andre, I won't stand in the way. But there's only one lady of the house, and that's me. If you want to compete with me, it'll just make you look silly. We can get along peacefully, even if we don't like each other, at least we can maintain surface harmony. But if you get greedy and want to swallow Cedillo Inc. whole, I won't let it go."

"What are you talking about?" Mia was very confused.

What lady of the house, what share, and what swallow?

"You don't understand what I'm saying?" Naomi laughed sarcastically, "You're clearly trying to kick me out of the Cedillo family, and then you become the lady of the Cedillo family, so you and your husband can swallow Cedillo Inc. whole?"

She held Andre's water cup, with her gaze frankly directed at Naomi. "I never wanted to compete with you for the position of the lady of the Cedillo family. Don't frame me. And the thing about Cedillo Inc., that's up to the Cedillo family. It has nothing to do with me. I've never thought about competing with you for anything. Don't be deceived by your delusions."

"Mia, have you forgotten what you said when you bullied Jillian?"

"I bullied her?" Mia pointed to herself and asked in surprise.

Naomi said, "I know Andre's a catch and all you girls are into him. You've been throwing your weight around, threatening Jillian, even claiming you're gonna snatch the title of The lady of the Cedillo family. Now you're gonna deny ever saying all that in front of me?"

Mia was the type who liked to clear the air. She told Naomi, "Let's get one thing straight, I now get why you've always had it in for me, always picking on me. Turns out there's a snake in the grass stirring things up between us."

Despite her young age, Mia wasn't a bit frightened, her eyes full of determination. "I swear on my life, I've never said I wanted to be the lady of the Cedillo family or that I was going to take over Cedillo Inc. all on my own. I've never said anything out of line about Jillian either. If I'm lying, may God strike me down. Please tell me how Jillian described my words to you."
