Chapter 307 Growing Pains
What Mia least expected to happen happened after all. She thought Lily accidentally let it slip because she only told Lily.
But Lily was also confused, she said she didn’t.
I later learned that it was actually the professional stylist responsible for Mia's transformation who deliberately revealed it to the media in an attempt to gain credit for himself.
However, this is no longer important, because Mia's world has been turned upside down and it is difficult to recover.
Despite her unwillingness, Mia's identity was exposed in advance, so she had to attend Genovia's diplomatic dinner as a public relations tool to save her image.
As a result, Mia was out of place and still clumsy. She not only made a series of jokes, but also created a series of crazy accidents that completely ruined the dinner.
It’s a complete mess.
Mia was very guilty and nervous. She thought the Queen would be disappointed and angry, but the Queen was not.
Not only did it not happen, but Mia also reminded the queen of her son.
The next day, the queen asked Mia to temporarily give up the princess training course for a day, and the two traveled to San Francisco together to give each other a chance to get to know each other.
Although the war was chaotic again, this time it was slightly different. Mia saw the Queen's approachable side, and the Queen saw Mia's sincere and lovely side. The two finally put down their guard for the time being and started communicating, and Mia also I heard more stories about my father from the Queen.
On a whim, the Queen even took the initiative to play the role of a driving instructor, taking Mia back to retrieve her Mustang and helping Mia learn to drive.
As a result, I got into trouble.
And again and again.
Just like Mia, this time, she almost crashed a San Francisco city tour bus and blocked city traffic, causing chaos.
In times of crisis, the Queen showed her royal style, not only defusing the crisis, but also winning the hearts of the citizens with her affinity, becoming a hot topic on the streets and making the headlines of the "San Francisco Chronicle" the next day:
News about Queen Genovia and the princess spread throughout the city.
This time it is slightly different. Countless people have become fans of the queen and princess. It is no longer curiosity and inquiry, but support and love.
In just one night, Mia, who was once completely transparent in school, suddenly became a famous figure, and it seemed that everyone became her good friend.
Instead of looking at her weirdly, he tried to get close to her. Even Josh, whom Mia had always had a crush on, looked at her differently and invited her to Saturday's beach party.
Mia, ecstatic.
Mia found Michael and told him that she had no way to go to Michael's band to perform. Mia, who was so carried away by Josh's date invitation, completely ignored Michael's loss; to be more precise, this It didn't matter at all, because she had even forgotten about Lily's invitation to a TV interview on Saturday night.
Mia happily went to the appointment, but she did not expect that everything was just a trap:
A hype trap.
Josh tried to kiss her in front of reporters to create a scandal, and Lana tried to dismantle a mobile beach dressing room while she was changing clothes for reporters to take pictures.
Everyone is trying to get something from her, but there is no sincerity.
At the moment when Mia was curled up in Helen's arms in a bathrobe and crying heartbrokenly, the entire screening room fell silent, with only the trivial sound of silently wiping away tears.
It turns out that this is the price of growth -
Stumbling, bumps, scars and heartbreak are inevitable.
From heaven to hell, it only takes one night.
It seems like just yesterday that all the major front-page headlines are praising and pursuing Mia. Suddenly, everything is covered by Mia's "scandal".
The media did not pay attention to the truth and were not prepared to understand Mia. They labeled her a "party girl" and published a series of embarrassing photos of Mia.
Queen, extremely angry. but.
For Mia, nothing compares to the fear of losing her friend.
Mia needed to apologize to Lily, and sincerely apologize to Lily. As a result... it naturally turned into a quarrel, but the direction was slightly different from what she imagined.
Angry, sad, depressed, and irritable, Lily did not hide her disappointment.
However, when Mia told Lily that she was not ready to be a princess, Lily was very disappointed.
Lily admitted that she was jealous, and she admitted that she was worried that Mia would no longer be her friend.
"...but in fact, it is a miracle that you become a princess."
"Think about it, I found that my TV show only has twelve listeners. If you want to change the world, there are only insignificant people like me. Power, this is a nightmare, but you? ”
Lily hopes to protect the earth, whether it is her TV show or her volunteer activities, everything is trying to make her voice heard. .
“‘Wow’ means you have influence and you can make people listen. How many teenagers have this ability?”
Lily opened a door for Mia.
But the upset Mia didn't think much about it. She had already made up her mind that she would not accept the title of princess at Genovia's National Day dinner.
Despite this, Mia still hopes to make up for her mistakes, invites Lily to Genovia's ball, and hopes that Michael can be her dance partner.
When Michael delivered the car that had been repaired by the garage, Mia tried to extend an invitation.
What a pity.
Now it seems that it is too late.
"...Listen, thank you for everything you have done for me. You are really kind." Mia put the remaining payment for the car repair in an envelope and prepared to hand it to Michael.
Michael kept his distance calmly, stood across a table, straightened his back, and showed a polite smile, "I didn't do it for you. The doctor asked the band to practice there, and I Help fix the car.”
Draw the line.
Mia was a little disappointed and a little cautious, "Yes, of course, yes..." She handed the envelope to Michael, "Here, here it is for you."
Michael took the envelope politely and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, Michael was about to leave, but just as he turned around and before he had time to move, Mia continued to speak, which caused Michael to stop and look down at the envelope in his hand, avoiding Mia's sight.
Mia mustered up her courage, "I know you're still angry that I let you down. I'm really sorry. I, uh, I want to make up for it." She was trying hard to maintain a cheerful tone, Trying to put on a sweet smile, he looked at Michael intently.
That look fell on Michael’s skin.
Michael's shoulders and arms were slightly stiff. He realized that he was losing ground. He realized that he was losing heart. He lowered his head uncontrollably, turned his head slightly to avoid Mia's sight, and equipped himself with armor. Arm himself, but he needs to toughen himself up and cannot just compromise.
So, Michael held the envelope with his left hand, put it behind his back, picked up a painted mask on the table, and put it on his face to cover his expression.
At this time, I finally had the courage to look up.
With nothing visible through the mask, Michael looked directly into Mia's eyes and looked over quietly, using all his strength to keep his voice steady.
"How to make up for it?"
