After eating, Bryan returned to bed and dozed off while waiting for Sonia's editor to contact him. He slept soundly for some hours until the insistent sound of his ringing phone roused him from his midday slumber. He placed his pillow over his head to block off the sound, but each time the call ended, the phone started ringing again, until he had no other choice but to reach for it to see the identity of the person who was bent on disturbing his sleep.
"Are you calling to tell me you have found her?" Bryan asked sleepily, hoping she had disturbed his sleep for something important. As that was the only thing that was important to him at the moment.
"No. But..."
Without saying another word, Bryan hung up and placed his phone on airplane mode before returning to sleep. He didn't want to think or talk about anything else until he was clear-headed.
Mia hissed when she realized he had hung up on her, and she tried calling him again. After dialing his line a few more times without success, Mia hissed angrily as she glared at the phone in her hand as though she was looking at Bryan's face. What was wrong with him? How could he be so rude? How could he hang up and switch off his phone without even finding out what she wanted to say? What was she going to do now?
Bryan's manager had called her to let her know he had been trying to reach Bryan all to no avail, and he had asked her to try and get across to him, and to inform him that he had to go to the airport to pick Sonia up.
Most of his fans had reacted to Sonia's tweet and Instagram post, and they were all expecting him to be at the airport to welcome his fiancee. They knew without a doubt that a swarm of paparazzi would likely be gathered there to get pictures of the newly engaged couple as the news was still making the front pages of gossip columns. They all knew that if he didn't show up at the airport when everyone knew he wasn't busy with work, it would pass the wrong message to the public, and then people would start making assumptions and jumping to conclusions.
Mia glanced at her phone to check the time, and she knew she had no choice but to go over to his house to inform him of what was going on since she doubted he was aware that social media was abuzz with news of his fiancee's visit. She was just going to drive down there and take him to the airport herself.
Without wasting another moment Mia picked up her white blazer and wore it over the pink camisole she was wearing before putting on black sneakers which matched her black trousers. After that, she picked up her purse and house key from the table before hurrying out of her house.
A few minutes later she arrived at Bryan's house and hurried inside. She looked around the living room, and when she didn't find him, she made her way to his bedroom, hoping he didn't have any female company with him as he usually did.
"Bryan?" Mia called out as she approached his room so that he would dress up if he was naked or ask her to stop if he was with someone. Bryan didn't like being referred to as Mr. Hank, hence every one that worked with him simply called him Bryan.
"Bryan?" She called again when she didn't hear anything and slowly pushed the bedroom door before stepping inside. She scowled when she saw him sleeping comfortably on the bed with his legs sprawled on both sides like he had no care in the world, "BRYAN!" She yelled angrily this time, to get his attention.
Bryan almost jumped out of his skin, and he sat bolt upright on his bed the moment he heard his name being yelled. He looked around the room in confusion before his eyes finally rested on Mia, "Are you the one that yelled my name?" He asked with a frown.
"As you can see, I'm the only one here." Mia hissed irritably. At this point, she was ready to lose her job. She wasn't going to hesitate to give him a piece of her mind if he so much as disrespected her or annoyed her more than he had done already. She was fed up with him and his attitude.
"Why are you here? Didn't we just talk over the phone a minute ago?" He asked, wondering if that had been a dream.
Seeing the confusion on his face Mia sighed, "You have to dress up and go to the airport right now," Mia said impatiently as she approached his closet to pick out something appropriate for him. She made sure to pick a yellow t-shirt so it would look like he and Sonia deliberately chosen to wear matching colors.
"What? Why? Is there a job I need to do?" Bryan asked in confusion as he stood up from the bed with a lost look in his eyes.
"Maybe if you hadn't hung up while I was trying to talk to you, you would have known that your fiancee is on her way here to visit you," Mia said, expressing her disapproval in her tone.
"Fiancee? Sonia?" Bryan asked, shaking his head which was still foggy with sleep. Was this a dream?
"You proposed to someone else while we weren't looking?" She asked sarcastically as she threw the yellow t-shirt and ripped jean trousers on the bed, "You should get dressed. She will probably be arriving any moment from now, and we have to be at the airport in time. We can't keep her waiting," Mia said as she headed for the door.
Although Bryan still did not understand what was going on, he could tell by the annoyance and urgency in Mia's tone that Sonia was truly on her way to see him, so he quickly dressed up and joined Mia who was already outside the door holding his car key.
"How did you find out she is on her way here? Did she call?" Bryan asked as he got into the backseat of the car, while Mia took the driver's seat.
"She tagged you to a post on Twitter and Instagram.. I suppose she is tired of playing hide-and-seek," Mia said with a shrug as she turned on the car's ignition and drove off.
