Chapter 267 Almost a Big Mistake
"Yo, my bad! Didn't mean to," Mia blurted out, grabbing a tissue to dab at Lyle's clothes.
"Whatever," Lyle grumbled, eyeing the stain on his pants. The wet spot was in a pretty awkward place.
Mia, trying to be careful, said, "Hey, I've got some of my brother's clothes at home. I'll grab 'em for you. Can't have you walking around all messy."
Lyle gave a slight nod, looking totally uninterested. Yeah, it was kinda embarrassing.
"I'll hit the bathroom and get some hot water running for you," Mia said, and without waiting for a reply, she headed to the bathroom.
She shut the door, staring at herself in the mirror, a determined look in her eyes. She'd done it on purpose.She didn't know why Lyle so was hung up on Margaret.
Mia clenched her fists, jealousy burning inside her. 'Today, I'm gonna get the guy I love, no matter what!' With that thought, Mia opened the cabinet and pulled out an aromatherapy candle.
This one had a little extra kick—an aphrodisiac effect. Mia smirked, lit the candle, and set it on the counter before leaving the bathroom.
She glanced at Lyle, still sitting on the couch with that cold look, and smiled. "Lyle, the bath's ready. Go clean up. I'll find my brother's clothes for you."
Lyle shrugged off his jacket and headed to the bathroom.
Seeing him go in, Mia's eyes gleamed with triumph, and she went to find the clothes.
After a bit, Mia figured it was time. She grabbed the clothes and knocked on the bathroom door. No answer.
Mia grinned, thinking the candle had done its job. She pushed the door open and walked in.
There was Lyle, leaning against the wall, eyes glazed, totally bare. He had a killer body, and Mia couldn't help but gulp.
Thinking about what was about to go down, Mia felt a rush of excitement. The guy she'd loved for so long was finally gonna be hers tonight!
"Margaret?" Lyle, halfway through his bath, felt like he was burning up, his mind a mess of steamy thoughts. Seeing someone come in, he thought it was Margaret.
Hearing that, Mia's face turned icy. Burning with jealousy, she tossed the clothes aside and threw herself into Lyle's arms, her voice dripping with seduction. "Lyle, it's me."
She didn't care if he thought she was Margaret. As long as they hooked up, he'd have to take responsibility.
Lyle's unbearable heat eased the moment he touched Mia. He held her tight, calling out Margaret's name over and over.
Despite her jealousy, Mia kept seducing Lyle, making him lose all sense.
"Lyle, I love you so much!" Mia wrapped her arms around Lyle's neck, standing on her toes to kiss him.
Lyle had been waiting two whole years to hear those words, and now he finally did. His eyes burned with desire as he leaned in to kiss her, his voice rough. "Margaret, I love you too. I've loved you for so many years, and you finally accepted me. I'm so happy!"
Noticing his deep affection for Margaret, Mia swallowed her jealousy and kissed him back passionately.
As Mia made her moves, Lyle hesitated. 'Wait, you aren't Margaret! She would never be this forward!'
Lyle shook his head, finally snapping out of it and realizing it was Mia in his arms.
"Mia, what the hell are you doing?" Lyle, using the last bit of his willpower, pushed Mia away. He turned on the cold shower, trying to cool himself down.
"Lyle, I really love you," Mia said, her voice full of desperation.
The cold water brought Lyle back to his senses. He spoke with disgust, "Get out!"
At that moment, he realized Mia had drugged him. But he hadn't eaten anything. His cold gaze landed on the aromatherapy candle on the counter, and he got it.
Seeing him prefer a cold shower over being with her, Mia's face twisted with hurt. When Lyle pushed her, she hit the sink, and it hurt like hell.
Mia's eyes reddened, her fingers clenching tightly. She cursed in her head, 'Lyle cares so much about Margaret that he'd rather stay chaste for her! Margaret, you bitch, I'll make sure you suffer!'
Calmed down, Lyle got dressed and left without even looking at Mia.
Thinking about how he almost mistook Mia for Margaret and messed up, Lyle's eyes grew colder, and he felt a wave of fear. Luckily, he hadn't inhaled much of the aromatherapy, dodging a bullet.
The next day, Mia showed up on set right on time. Since Lyle had invited her for a cameo, it was a golden opportunity.
After getting her makeup done, Margaret headed to the set to film.
There was another kissing scene. Margaret was used to it, and the scene with Lyle was quickly done.
Watching Lyle and Margaret embrace tightly, Mia's hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of jealousy.
She could tell Lyle wasn't acting; he genuinely had feelings for Margaret. Especially the way he held Margaret like she was something precious.
Thinking about last night's events, Lyle's cold indifference towards her, and his gentle care for Margaret now, the contrast made Mia even more jealous. She couldn't wait for that Margaret to disappear.
At that moment, she noticed Skylar nearby with a similar expression and smirked.
Just then, Mia saw a few crew members walking by. They were carrying props, getting ready for the next scene.
A calculating look flashed in Mia's eyes. 'Since someone else feels the same way, why not let them take the fall first?'
