Chapter 62: Beautiful Scar-faced Mia
"I am gonna tell Khloe," she excitedly said and picked up her only to pause and sigh.
"Ahh... It\'s midnight already. She should be asleep by now," Mia thought and considered. "Do I even really need to tell her about it? She would just end up antagonizing everything."
Mia knew her friend so well that she could basically predict her actions sometimes. Khloe had never been in support of her feelings for Arnold who was mostly known as Max freaking Fury in the university.
While he was already making a great impact in his career, Khloe appeared to have hated him the more.
Now, the truth was...
Khloe was trying to link Mia and her boyfriend\'s friend, Cassidy up for a date. However, all this while, Mia and given a disgraceful and disappointing refusal, showing that she had no interest in him.
Since then, Khloe had been deeply mad at her, yet, she hadn\'t given up on the trial to make Mia meet Cassidy.
If Khloe finds out that Max Fury will be visiting, well, that would only add to her madness as he could clearly have nothing to do about it.
Just very early in the morning, Mia got up from bed and was set for the day. It was Saturday morning, so most students preferred going to the gym, with some just deciding to stay idle and rest since it was a weekend.
Mia was one of these people. Although it was it was her first time having to stay in her morning on a Saturday morning without going on a jog.
It wasn\'t strange after all, Max Fury was coming for a visit. Shouldn\'t she just stay and get prepared? If it were to be another person in her shoes, she would have done the same thing.
The fact that Mia had also developed a sudden strong feeling for Arnold manifested in her actions. She had regretted not collecting his mobile number on that day, but now, it seemed that there would be less to worry about.
He would be here today after all, why should she still worry?
Happily and singlehandedly, Mia decided to make a meal for him in secret. It was going to be quite a long journey from Chicago to Phoenix, so it should be considered a lunch.
Whether or not he came in the day or the night, Mia didn\'t care. She only promised to give the best entertainment needed.
As time went by in a blur, she only hoped and waited for him...

Arnold was out to the airport in time, not wanting to reach Arizona late. He would prefer to come back to Capside Centre today, but he had doubts.
Perhaps he didn\'t make it, he would lodge in a hotel in the city. He had informed Mark before he left... He didn\'t bother to tell Lila because he knew she might feel bad...
However, unfortunately for him, there was nothing he was hiding.
While he entered the car transporting him to the airport, Lila came out from nowhere and watched the car zoom off, a complicated look on her face.
"He is going to see her, right? Lila turned to Mark who was also watching behind her mad asked.
"Yes..." Mark said, focusing his gaze to see her reaction.
Lila was a cool girl. Her reaction was only a nod, but one of noticing the despair lurking deep inside her heart.
"Whoever she is, I would love to meet her."
Suddenly, Lila forced a smile and said. Mark who completely detected that this wasn\'t a smile from her heart could only sign repeatedly, speechless.
Seeing Lila walking away, he couldn\'t even utter a word.

It took a few hours before Arnold arrived at Phoenix. Without wasting much time, he journeyed into the city, arriving at Rising Impact University after almost fifty minutes.
He had missed this beautiful busy city after getting away for four months now... Although there were little to no physical changes, he felt that Arizona was becoming greater than before.
That feeling. That aura had convinced him.
When the cab stopped him at the gate of the university, Arnold needed his Former Student ID to gain entry. Showing it to the two gatekeepers, a man and a male-looking woman who was fortunately possessing eye-catching boobs, he was allowed to enter in an instant.
After all, it was weekend. Even though not everyone was allowed in, he was a former student who had full right to get in. Anyway, perhaps it would have been another case if it was a weekday.
Entering the academy, Arnold landed with a glance around the surroundings, followed by a smile.
"Everything still looked the same, except for that statue," he pointed slightly at the newly created statue of a Hall of Fame awarded wrestler.
Carved on the statue was the first-ever champion of Ultimate Revolution Wrestling, Gage Slade. He was arguably recorded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, known as the main man who brought the Ultimate Revolution Wrestling Promotion to the world with his incredible achievement and fame.
Arnold stared a few times and continued walking. He already asked for her number after chatting her up, so he called her phone after arriving at the final-year female dormitory.
After Arnold\'s department had signed out, Mia\'s department had now graduated from the third year to the final year. They took control of every facility rendered to the graduates, now having it as theirs, as it was supposed to be.
"I am outside the dormitory, Come on out," Arnold said softly to Mia after she picked up his call.
He waited just for less than twenty seconds before Mia dashed out from the stairs and approached him.
"Good... afternoon," Mia was the first to greet but stammered.
However, it was quite fortunate that the man in the scene was bold, as it should be.
"Good afternoon, Mia. It\'s so good to see you again," he smiled at her.
"Same here, Max. We have been impressed with your performance in the Grindhouse Wrestling Show. I suddenly found myself becoming your fan just one day," Mia chuckled, causing Arnold a slight laugh as well.
Then it seized, as both figures stared at themselves in a clash, just on an exact occurrence.
They both stared speechlessly with a cold look for a while until Arnold decided to break the silence. At least, nothing awkward should be happening now.
"Thank you... For being a fan," he suddenly raised a disruption.
Mia could only grin again and folded her arms. "You have come to grant your rewards, haven\'t ya?" She then asked.
"Sure... But not just that, Mia."
"Not just that? What else?" Mia\'s mind went far at instant.
Meanwhile, as Arnold stared at the Beautiful Scar-faced lady, he gave a warm, suspensive reply.
"Something that might blow your mind."
Nodding at the beautiful lady, her face could only be noticed turning dark and dark.
\'Maybe he came for a date...\' Mia just suddenly saw herself thinking this way.
