Chapter 61

Scandal (2) "Ryder, I've been back for some time now but I haven't even had the chance to see you or talk to you properly. I miss you a lot Ryder. Didn't you miss me at all?" Mira asked. "Miss Mira, I don't think we are close. Why should I miss you?" Ryder asked "Hahahaha....." Matt immediately burst out laughing when he heard that. He could not hold back his laughter at all. Is Mira a masochist? She can clearly see that he doesn't want to talk to her yet she keeps trying. Isn't she just asking to be ignored and made fun of? Mira was already feeling terrible when Ryder said that they weren't close and that he didn't miss her. Her already bad mood sank even lower when she heard Matt laughing. He didn't even bother to hide the fact that he was making fun of her. Who the hell does he think that he is? Hmph! He should just wait! Once she gets back together with Ryder, she is going to make him pay! Right now,she cast a long glace at him but Matt pretended as if he did not see it. It's not as if this is his problem. Ryder started this. He should deal with it on his own. Mira bit down on her lips and she looked as if she was about to start crying any second now. "Ryder...I....how can you say that about me? We....I know I did wrong but..." Ryder did not let Mira finish what she was about to say. "Miss Mira, we did date in the past. But we parted ways amicably. I really hope that you won't do things that will make people misunderstand" Ryder said. Maybe he won't had been so cold to her if Matt did not tell him why Mira came back. But since he already knew, he knew that he had to keep his distance from her and make things clear. Or else all of this is just going to snowball into a bigger incident. Mira really wanted to cry now. She had always believed that Ryder loves her.she believed that in the past five years,he has always been missing her. She didn't really imagine that he was going to be so cold to her. What should she do now? She really did not want to let him go at all....she really did not want to admit defeat. Mira glared at Matt again. She was sure that this person must have said something to Ryder. That's why he's so mean to her now. But no matter how angry she was, Mira knew that she could not show her anger here right now. She had to hold it in. "Ryder.....I know that it was my fault five years ago...I was the one who hurt you... but I really didn't have a choice...I.... why...can't we go back?" Mira asked. She didn't think that she was wrong. After all, she was with him first. It's that woman Scarlett who wants to steal Ryder away from her. And she won't give her a chance to do that at all! Ryder really wanted to give it up for Mira for her shamelessness. She was the one who hurt him then and now she even has the guts to come back and say these things to him? Ryder didn't believe that Mira didn't know that he was married. Is she really planning on being a mistress? "Mira....I don't know if you know but I'm already married. And I don't plan on breaking up my marriage. The both of us were already over five years ago. Please, don't do this!" Ryder said. Mira was fuming in anger now. It was one thing to know that he was married,it was another thing for him to try to use his marriage to reject her like this. What does he take her for? She won't accept this! Never! "Ryder...I just want to be with you...I don't care....I don't care about those things. I don't care if you are married or not ..I really just want to be with you now...even if it's in secret" Mira said. She really didn't want to be a mistress. Mira's main goal was to push Scarlett away and marry Ryder. But she thought that she had to start from somewhere. Once she gets together with him,she will think of ways to get rid of that wife of his. But the most important thing right now was to get together with him first. Ryder and Matt : "....." They really didn't know that Mira had become even more shameless and unreasonable in the last five years. Ryder was even more surprised. How on Earth didn't he know that this woman was like this? Ryder pretended as if he was thinking about it. Then he looked up at Mira and asked, "So you are saying that you want to be my mistress?" Mira : "....." Even though she knew that that was exactly what she was trying to do, she really didn't think that he was going to say it out like that. Her face burned in embarrassment. Did he have to spell it out like this? And in front of Matt? But since he's saying it like this, does this mean that he is thinking about it? Ha! She just knew it! She knew that he wasn't over her just yet! As long as she works hard, she was sure that she would be able to get this man to marry her! Mira batted her eyelids and said, "I really don't care about whatever title I have. As long as I can be by your side....I really don't care about it at all...." Mira said. She tried to act as if she was very understanding of him. "So you are saying that you want to be a mistress?" Ryder repeated. He could tell that Mira wanted to change the topic. No matter what, it wasn't a good thing to be called a mistress. No matter how shameless she is, she won't admit it all at once like this. On his part, Matt was trying his best not to burst out laughing. He had to give it to Ryder. He knew now to trap Mira with a few words, without giving her a chance to escape at all. Well, serves her right for trying to play smart with them. She deserves it! Mira was specheless. Does he have to keep harping on this? She already said it so nicely, does he have to use the word mistress? This is so damn annoying! But as long as she would be able to get Ryder, Mira was ready to do anything. She didn't even care about embarrassing herself here like this. She bated her eyelashes and then said, "Yes, I can be your mistress. I just don't want to make things hard on you. I just want to stay by your side" Ryder snorted. "Im sorry but my answer is no. If you want to be a mistress you can go look for other men who like keeping mistresses. I'm already married and I have no intention of cheating on my wife or having an extra marital affair Mira!" Ryder said. His voice www harsh now, not giving Mira a chance to continue saying anything else.
