THE ANONYMOUS BUYER
Lois Abbott
20 million dollars.......how many zeros are there?
Philip Solano
(chuckled)
Why don't you count them on your fingers.
Lois Abbott
I can't believe it...
Mia Roosevelt
Neither can I...
Philip Solano
i think it was a fair price, The ecstasy was a masterpiece...i guess almost 10 buyers bid on it.
Lois Abbott
And an anonymous one bought it
Mia Roosevelt
What, no...there was this man who was bidding on it, and he won it.
Philip Solano
Yeah, I saw him too ... but I did hear about an anonymous buyer too
Lois Abbott
He wasn't buying for himself.
Mia Roosevelt
What do you mean?if it was anonymous, there would be a person with the phone on his hand standing on the stage
Lois Abbott
he was continuously texting and as soon as he finished the text he would bid....that meant he was buying it for someone else.
Lois Abbott
And i think he has bought most of your articles, I hope he's not some creep
Mia Roosevelt
And how do you know that?
Philip Solano
Yeah, the buyer's name isn't supposed to be disclosed.
Lois Abbott
Yeah, unless you act like some aristocrat's spoiled wife and look at the list.
Philip Solano
(laughed)
You did that?
Lois Abbott
Yeah, i was curious ...i wanted to know who bought yours and Mia's article.
Mia Roosevelt
Seriously Lois, how do you even think like that?
Lois Abbott
Well i just wanted to see potential buyers names
Lois Abbott
Well Mia always wanted to own a big studio for crafting, as soon I make a lot of money I will invest in her studio.
Philip Solano
Will you employ me Miss Abbott?
Lois Abbott
You know I would Philip, you are part of a package now.
Philip Solano
Thank you....
Mia Roosevelt
You are still holding onto that dream?....
Mia Roosevelt
But first we need to buy a good house, a car, and then I will give the rest of the money to you for your studies
Lois Abbott
Mia we have already talked about this
Mia Roosevelt
Yes, so don't argue more Lois... you are taking this money so suck it up.
A loud cough voice distracted them from their discussion and three of them turned around. A man was standing behind them in a branded suit, he might be in his late thirties, but he was beautiful as hell.
Kevin Fitts
Hello Miss Roosevelt, I'm Kevin Fitts
Mia Roosevelt
Hello Mr Fitts...you are the one who won the bidding, right?
Kevin Fitts
Yes ma'am indeed.
Mia Roosevelt
Mia ...call me Mia...
Kevin Fitts
Well Mia...i must say you have beautifully crafted the article. My boss wanted to buy it as soon as he saw it.
Lois Abbott
(whisper)
told you
Mia Roosevelt
Who is he or she?
Kevin Fitts
It's Mr knight, good night Miss Roosevelt
Mia watches the man go towards the entrance, why does she feel she has seen him somewhere?. Soon the man was stopped by Aaron, and they had a conversation.
Mia Roosevelt
Does he work for Aaron?
Philip Solano
But you can't Bid through someone else when you are bidding yourself.
Mia Roosevelt
If he's bidding for Aaron then I'm afraid he's not getting my article anymore.
Mia Roosevelt
Lois, babe would mind playing the aristocrat's wife again?
Lois Abbott
Nope.... I'll be back
Philip Solano
I'm going to go after her.
Mia Roosevelt
Yeah, nice idea.
Mia sat down on the table, her leg started throb now. She isn't supposed to stand this much longer, the more she stands, the more pressure it's on knees. Not to mention the hard work she has done in the past three weeks, standing for hours and hours.
The accident has harmed her right leg's calf tendons, below her knees. Although this can be cured with the surgery, but she's too poor to afford it now.
Mia Rose from her seat and decided to go to the washroom, She needed to apply pain relief gel on her knees and take her medicine or the pain will kill her.she quickly dropped a text to Lois and went to the washroom.
Mia Roosevelt
Not now Aaron, just leave me alone.
Aaron Knight
Look i just need a talk,
Mia Roosevelt
And I have no interest in talking to you ....so leave me alone.
Aaron Knight
I just want to explain myself that's it ...
Mia Roosevelt
There is no need for the explanation Aaron you loved her, and you got married to her.
Aaron Knight
I have never loved her, neither I love her now
Mia closed her eyes, the pain has become unbearable now. She clutched her cane tightly and looked at Aaron, who has guilt in his eyes, but Mia is over this shit.
Mia Roosevelt
Look Aaron now is not the time.....just get back to your wife. We will talk some time later.
Aaron Knight
You aren't even looking at me now....what happened to your leg ?
Mia Roosevelt
...............
Sweat breaks down on her forehead, the pain isn't allowing her to register whatever the hell Aaron is saying. She leaned more towards the ground, her cane was losing its balance.
Aaron Knight
Look i wanted to tell you everything for so long....i couldn't sleep at night Mia....let me Just explain once.
Mia Roosevelt
Shut up.....SHUT THE F*CK UP....
Mia gripped her cane and put her weight on it to stand straight. The sudden pressure broke the cane in half and Mia lost her footing. She fell forward and Aaron caught her at the right moment.
Aaron Knight
F*ck Mia..... Mia what happened...open your eyes
Mia Roosevelt
don't touch me ......
Aaron Knight
Mia this is not the time to be prideful, let me take you to the hospital.
Mia Roosevelt
I'd rather die than to take your help...i hate you....i hate you so so much ....
Mia tried to get up and go for her purse which was lying far from her. She wanted to call Lois or Philip anyone, but she couldn't move. A loud painful voice escapes her mouth as soon as she tries hard to move
Lois Abbott
Oh my god..... Mia ...
Lois Abbott
What did you do?
Aaron Knight
I did nothing .....i was just talking to her. .
Lois Abbott
And that is enough to cause damage assh*ole
Philip Solano
shit f*ck, what happened?
Lois Abbott
Philip, pick her up, we need to take her home
Aaron Knight
let's take her to the hospital.
Mia Roosevelt
There is no need, this isn't the first time I have collapsed like this ..
Lois Abbott
Yeah, all thanks to you.
Philip Solano
Come on Mia, put your hand around my neck ....
Aaron saw Mia circled Philip's shoulder, and then he pulled her away, the moment they left for the exit all the eyes were already on them. People were talking. Mia buried her face in philp's neck. She was ashamed.
Tears flow down from her eyes, never in her life She has felt like a failure. The accident has left her dependent on other people. she has to live, eat, and enjoy with restrictions.
Mia Roosevelt
I'm so sorry.....i spoiled everything.
Philip Solano
The only thing you have to spoiled is that motherf*cker's face.
Lois Abbott
Let me call the car....
Philip Solano
Do we need to go to hospital?
Mia Roosevelt
No...i just need to rest.
Aaron watched Mia and Philip go, he has never felt this helpless. It should be him helping his girl, but he can't do anything. He never thought it would be Philip who would swoop in and take his girl away.
Kevin Fitts
The boss told me to tell you, to keep your f*ckin hands off of his woman or else he will break it.
Aaron Knight
Well tell your motherf*ckin boss that Mia has always been mine.
Kevin Fitts
The time will see Mr knight, Till then please adhere to the advice.
Aaron Knight
What the hell is wrong with you Kevin? Why the hell are you acting like this
Aaron Knight
Like a f*ckin dog ...
Kevin Fitts
I have always known my place Mr knight, it was you who forgot it.
Aaron Knight
f*ck you Kevin.
Kevin Fitts
Good night Mr knight.
