Back then, Mia walked toward Byron and was unhappy to do it.
She almost arrived.
Then she heard the voice of the nasty Freya.
Mia knew eavesdropping was impolite, but she did it.
Instinctively, she stood against the wall with Alice.
Alice was very puzzled.
It was a corner. They didn't have to stick to the wall, and Freya could not see them. But Mia did it carefully. She was so cunning.
"Something changed." The annoying Freya lowered her voice, sounding very unhappy. "I met a stinky kid, and she invited Byron to dinner."
Stinky kid?
Mia frowned to hear that. Could it be the stinky kid meant her?
"Now she is inviting Byron and wants to have dinner with him!" Byron continued, "I will pretend to be uncomfortable in a while and let him take me away. Anyway, he must go home with me today!"
Mia was shocked.
Alice was also shocked.
They looked at each other in blank dismay.
They seemed to hear something fishy!
"He is different now. He becomes so fond of children. If our plan is successful this time, I can use children to be with him." Then the voice faded away.
Mia was nervous.
"Is she going to do something bad to the gentleman who bought your paintings?" Alice asked Mia.
Mia nodded solemnly, "She is a nasty and villainous woman!"
"Miss Mia Newton, what should we do now? Do we tell that gentleman about it?" Alice thought she was unlucky these days. She would pray after she returned home.
"She is the person Byron likes, and adults believe in the person they like more," Mia said seriously.
Alice thought these made sense. Mia was so clever to say that.
"Then what should we do?" Alice asked.
Mia looked at her, "Alice, I'm sorry."
