Mia was almost about to drop the cup from her hands in shock, as she saw the empty couch. She looked at Elizabeth, who was waiting for Mia's reply.
She did not know, what to say. She can not even just run out like this, without saying or explaining anything! She could not afford be in bad terms with Elizabeth.
Maybe she is not so close to Rose? Maybe she is a god-mother just for the sake of it. Mia had to decide, whether it was safe to tell Elizabeth about Rose or not! So she had to now judge, how close she was to Rose.
"Ohhh! Where did she go?" Mia looked out of the mirror, pretending to be surprised, looking at the empty couch.
"Ummm! I don't know! Maybe she is in her room!" Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders, casually, not knowing why Mia was so much interested in Rose.
"She has her own room in your house?!" Mia asked in surprise, gulping in nervouseness.
"A room? She has a whole wing all to herself. She designed it according to her taste! This is less of Kareem's house, but more of Rose's house. I told you she is my daughter!" Elizabeth smiled fondly, thinking about Rose.
The look on Elizabeth's face was enough to tell Mia, that Elizabeth was totally fond of Rose. "Ohh! Right!" The only option she now had was to avoid the topic. Thus, she thought of twisting the topic. As long as Rose is in her own room, she can not be exposed.
"So Mia, the name of the company and brand name please!" Elizabeth suddenly came back to the topic.
"Ughhh! Oh yes! Ahh! The name is important! Without it, how will you know! After all you are such a big star, you must be endorsing so many brands!" Mia smiled awkwardly, sipping her tea.
Elizabeth frowned. She was now a little irritated by the girl's delay. Why was she not telling her the name? "Ahh! Right! So it is important to know the name! So that, I take appropriate actions." Elizabeth hinted again.
"Yes true!" Mia smiled casually sipping the tea, not uttering a word further.
Elizabeth waited and spoke up again."So?" Elizabeth shurgged her shoulders.
"So what? Miss Lodge?" Mia smiled awkwardly. She was now sweating profousely.
"The name!!! Tell me the name!!!" Elizabeth spoke in a stern voice, losing her patience.
"My name is Mia!!" Mia smiled innocently, getting more nervous. Her was jumping various hurdles, ready to collapse any second.
Elizabeth slapped her forehead, looking at the girl helplessly. "The company name Mia!! About which you came to tell me! Remember?" Elizabeth now wanted to chuck the girl out of her house, for wasting her time.
"Ohhh! That!! Oh yes! Sorry, I totally forgot about it. You see I often get distracted like this. Even my director tells me, that I get too easily distracted. But yes, still they even praise my work after all that. Do you know, I have also worked with your son. Oh! He is such a fabulous actor Miss Lodge, just like you. Also, he looks so much like you....Same eyes...same hair. Also, Miss Lodge, there is this new film that I am working upon. It is a romantic comedy. I am playing the female lead in it, along with Sofia, Hanna and Andrew with me. Andrew is a new one in industry but still he is nice. He doesn't look like it is second film....He is amazing!!...Blah ...blah... blah... blah...." Mia continued babbling non-stop, talking about everything in the world and smiling like a fool.
