THE OWEN HEART BEAT

OWEN-87

...MIAMI'S...

Owen had been away for almost four days on a business trip. During that time Owen only focused on his work.

He wants to hurry home to see Mia again. Although during his departure not a day did he miss without monitoring Mia, still his existence that was far from the girl, always made his heart unsettled.

"Master. The report sent by detectives from London" said his private secretary handed him an FD containing portraits of Mia.

Owen quickly picked up the FD and directly checked the contents. "For the past few days, there have been people who have always followed Miss Mia. The detectives have even taken pictures of those people."

Hearing that Owen's forehead wrinkled with feelings of anxiety. Who is always following their women? is Mia in danger this time? inner Owen began to rile.

After taking a closer look at the contents of the file, Owen felt a little relieved. "Leave it. This man isn't a threat." The person Owen's secretary meant was Elston.

Although Owen was annoyed by the existence of Elston who was always behind Mia as he was, but it was considered no problem.

At least as long as he goes Mia will always be safe. That was what made the anxiety in Owen's heart slightly lessened.

"Do we need to stop the detective, sir?" ask the secretary named Troy. "No need. Let him continue his work. I want to keep getting information about Mia" Owen said again.

"Alright sir. I will say as you command"

After closing the laptop in front of him, Owen took the phone on the table on his right side. Looking for Mia's name, then...

...Tuuuuuuttt.......

...Tuuuuuttt.......

...Call first, fail....

Owen still wants to try again.

...Tuuuuuttt......

...Tuuuuttt........

...Second call, failed....

Is Mia asleep? what time is it now? Owen looked at the clock in his hand, then put the phone back.

Ever since the debate that night, they had never again spoken by phone. Even all the messages Owen sent like spam were only ever replyed once by Mia.

That's why Owen never expected more. Because from the beginning, it was he who first fell in love and loved the girl.

It was he who made the girl hurt. If now Mia ignored him, and pushed him away, it was a worthy thing for her to accept.

Owen did not care about the other men who approached his woman. And also the words of Mia who says that she already loves other men.

He could feel that the words were not true. The words that came out were only because Mia was angry at him. Owen is very sure that Mia still loves him, and his heart will never go wrong.

Owen took back his phone and typed in a short message..

...To : My sugar palm...

..."I miss you. Just want you to know. Good night."...

...-send...

After sending the message, Owen again tried to focus on his work. If he wants to meet Mia soon, then he should be able to finish all the files in front of him in time.

...❄️❄️...

"You don't want to come with us? we'll go to dinner together." Maurin asked Mia. Both of them just got out of the elevator.

Because there was a bit of work that was previously delayed, instead tonight they had to work overtime.

"This time I'm not coming. I'll just go home." reject Mia who really feels tired. "You sure?" maurin said again.

"Hem. I'm certain. Just y'all. See you tomorrow." Mia waved her hand back.

"alright. Be careful on Mia's road. Till tomorrow." reply the girl is friendly as always.

As he exited his office building, a car Mia knew all too well stopped right in front of him.

Bones walked out the driver's door, and approached Mia. "Bones?" said Mia who was a little surprised by the existence of the middle-aged man. He had thought that the one who would come out of there was Elston. Ah. what am I thinking!

"Good night, miss." said Bones, who opened the back door. "Please enter. I'll take you home." added Bones confirmed the reason for his arrival.

"What,-

"Master isn't inside" said Bones who could understand the reason for the doubt on Mia's face.

"Nothing?"

"Master is still in the office. After driving you home I'll pick you up." explained Bones. Mia looked back at the clock in her hand. It was time to show at eleven o'clock in the evening.

Mia did not make a sound anymore, she got into the car as Bones requested.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived. But this time not to Mia's apartment, but to Elston's office.

"You want to come with me?" mia asked doubtfully. He felt a little awkward because he hadn't seen Elston in a long time.

At least he won't be able to behave like before. Mia also hesitated how Elston would react when he saw her. Will Elston be angry? or just ignore himself?

"No miss. I'm just waiting here." declined Bones who wanted to give Mia and her young master time to talk.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure." said Bones. "Master's in his room. Go."

"Well then. Till later. We won't be long."

...❄️❄️...

Mia who already knew where Elston's workspace was located immediately went to her destination. He did not need to ask for help from security guards or anyone else. Elston used to bring him here.

Although now Mia's heart is still filled with doubts about whether her arrival is the right decision or just the opposite, but what she knows is the pounding she feels is very real.

...Geck.. Toks.....

...Mia knocked slowly at the door in front of him....

"Just go get Bones!" said Elston. The voice coming from inside sounded tired. Is Elston working harder than usual?

Mia slowly opened the door and peered inside.

The man was there. Sitting in his chair in his back position. "Have you taken Mia home? does he look tired again?" asked Elston which question should be directed at Bones.

Any more? Elston was worried about me. Mia's face meets...

"I should have asked you to buy him dinner. The girl must have forgotten to eat because she was too busy working. Ah. I can-can-can-can be,-"

The man turned his chair, in just a matter of seconds the two looked at each other..

Degs...

Mia's eyes were perfectly rounded. While the rhythm of his heartbeat began to be irregular. The enchanted tub of enchanting spells the two were glued to each other in silence..

Degs..

Degs..

Conscious Mia. What are you doing! Speak on. You're not a statue! the inner girl reminded to return to her consciousness right then and there.

"Ma.. want to have dinner together?" the words came out stammering. Mia nervous. Should I smile? but it feels so awkward.

While in front there, a surprised Elston immediately stood up from his chair. He wanted to run at Mia right then and there. No. gabe. No. gabe. Withstands. Withstands. Right like this. Holdin' on...

"Mia, what is it? I mean why are you,-" Elston can't pinpoint which words are right for him to say.

His chest felt full and crowded just because of the girl's existence. Moreover, Mia already wanted to talk to him.

Is my waiting time over? is this a dream? no. gabe. This isn't a dream. It´s real.

Seeing Elston who was silent without continuing his words, Mia also ventured to walk over to the man. "Have you had dinner? want to eat together?" mia repeated the previous question.

Any dinner? both? Really?

Elston was almost at a loss for words because he was happy. These are the moments he has been looking forward to for a long time.

"Hem. Sure do. Let's have dinner together."
