The Substitute Wife Chapter 9: 9 Return

Mia gets discharged from the hospital. As she exits the hospital, a car pulls up. Someone came out of the car and it was Hiro.

"Why are you here?" Hiro got irritated. "You woman. Shouldn't you be at least happy to see me?"

She walks pa.s.s him. He grabs her hand and carries her over his shoulder.. "Hey! Let me go!"

He carries her to the car. "Ah!" She tries to open the door but it won't open. "Head home." "Yes Master."

She crossed her arms and avoiding his gaze. Hiro also looks away from her, looking out at the window. Neither of them said a word. They reached home. Mia rushes in the house and heads to the bedroom, locked the door.

Hiro heads to his study. He takes off his jacket and throw on the floor. "This d.a.m.n woman." He scoffs. "What's so wrong picking my own wife up? I could get at least a thank you. Geez." He sits down on the sofa, loosen his tie. He sighs.

He's so frustrated that he doesn't understand Mia. In the other hand, she locked herself in the room. "We're not even mar--" She remembers what happen in the hospital. "No way...could..it.." She rushes out of the room and look for Hector. (Where is he?)

She went to the garden and there he was. "Hector!" He turns and sees Mia. "Lady Mia. What can I do for you?" "Um...that thing...umm the marriage certificate...can I see it?" "Oh...Master Hiro has it in his study." "I see..alright thank you."

(How am I supposed to get it? Hm..) "Lady Mia." "Hm?" "Is there something matter?" "Ah...no." She smiles. "It just ....*sigh...it's complicated." She looks away. "I'll lend you an ear." "Really? So you'll be my friend?"

Her eyes was shining. He chuckles. "Yes. I'll be your friend." "Finally, I got a first friend." "First?" She nods. "I see." "Hector. umm...in the marriage certificate, does it say my name on it?" "Yes. It does." "As in Maya or in Mia?" "It was in Maya but Master calls me to tell them that there's an error so now it's in Mia."

...

Hiro couldn't focus so he looks out at the window. His eyes widen. He sees Mia talking to Hector. "What? She's smiling at him but she's just gives me a cold shoulder. Ha. This woman." He then sees Hector smiles.

Hiro knits his brows. He's growing jealously. He left his study and head to the garden. "Hector." They both turns and sees Hiro. "Master." Hiro looks at both of them. (Just what are you guys talking about?)

Mia then forgot about her deadline of her scripts. She turns to Hector. "Ah, Hector, I better get going. tonight is my deadline. See you around." "Alright, Mia." After hearing Hector calls her by her name. Hiro knits his brows. (Calling by her name?)

After Mia left, Hiro speaks up. "What were you two talking about?" Hector looks at him. He grins. "I wonder." "Hector." Hector looks away. "Chill. She asks me to be her friend. Then she asks about the marriage certificate. That's all to it or rather..." He looks a Hiro. "you think I fallen for your wife?"

"Are you?" Hector laughs hard. "Hahahaha! Oh my. I never seen you have that kind of expression before." Hiro got irritated. Hiro walks away. "Come on, Hiro. You seriously fell hard for her, huh?" "Leave me alone." Hector kept teasing Hiro.

Before Mia gets back to her bedroom, she makes a stop in the study. She opens the door and close the door quietly. She went to look for the marriage certificate. (Where could it be?) She checks on the desk and the drawers but nothing. (Did Hector lie to me?)

She shakes her head. (No. That can't be.) She continues to search again, but she looks everywhere. She gives up. "Let's call it a day." She sighs and heads to the door. The door opens. Hiro was shocked to see her in the study. "Ah." "What are you doing in here?"

"Nothing." "Humph." He walks pa.s.s her. She exits the study room. After she left, he knew what she's trying to do. He sits on his chair and reaches under the desk. He pulls out the marriage certificate. He puts on the desk.

"Why would you looking for this..?"
