Miya couldn't retain her smile anymore. She blinked and looked at Xenon with her big tearful eyes."Honey, please.." she said pitifully."If you were an actress, you would be the worst. I say I shall deduct the rest of the money in theaccount." Xenon said coldly, let go of her, and walked away without taking another look at her.Miya stood there silently and watched Xenon walking away, feeling helpless."Mr. Xenon Uba, which department should we inspect first?" She heard Levi speaking.Suddenly, she ran towards Xenon and grabbed his arm. "Honey." She said with a sweet smile."Take your hands off me," Xenon said with disdain.Miya looked at him and spoke sincerely, "Xenon, my mum is the most important person to me. I'mcompletely dependent on you now. I promise that I will be the best pet for you. Whatever you like, whatever you need, I will do my best to please you."Xenon didn't seem convinced. He pushed her hands off her arm with his other hand and said coldly, "You'd better do."M
Xenon sneered and said, "Right. You aren't too dumb. I will deposit the money deducted yesterday back to your account then."Miya's face lit up, and she said with excitement, "Really?! Thank you so much, Xenon."When the car stopped outside the Uba Corporation, Xenon asked casually, "Do you really want a job?""Yes." Miya nodded. "I don't want to stay home all the time.""Why don't you work at the headquarters then?""The Uba Corporation?"Miya exclaimed happily, then she looked worried, "but i only have two to three years' work experience, and the U Corporation is one of the biggest companies in the world. I'm worried that I'm not competent enough.""Three-month internship. If you. can't make it, then you are fired and don't ever think of looking for a job again," Xenon said plainly.Miya felt more worried than excited now. I don't have another choice, do I? She thought. At leastIt's a job. "Ok. I would like to work in the design department...""You will be in the secretary departm
Xenon was still seated by the desk, but he wasn't working this time. Leaning back in his seat, his eyes closed, he said briefly "Make me some tea." He didn't even take a look at Miya.Miya looked around, spotted the tea and kettle on the table by the window, and brewed a cup forXenon. She placed the cup of tea on his desk and asked politely, "Is there anything else, Mr. Uba?"Xenon tapped his temple with his long slim forefinger and said plainly, "| I have a headache."Miya understood straight away and went over to give him a massage, from his upper back, shoulder blades, up to his neck and head, rather professionally.After a while, Xenon felt much lighter and the headache, as well as the tension on his shoulders, seemed to be gone. "Have you taken any massage courses?.” Xenon asks Miya."Not really. But my mum used to sit and draw or play the piano for a long time, and gradually shestarted to develop backache and. have tension on her shoulders. I did some research and learned a bi
The man leaned back in his chair lazily, his legs stretched out on the. desk, crossed, a cigarette in between his left forefinger and middle finger, in a casual light denim shirt, its sleeves halfway up.He looked slightly younger than Xenon and resembled him a bit, specializing his brows and eyes. Yet Xenon carried an air of authority. and appeared cold and distant, while this man was more of the playful sort. There was a certain feminine look about him that one might naively think him an easy-going and amiable person.When he met Miya's gaze, Miya saw the sharpness in his eyes and realized that she should be cautious."Sit." The man spoke, his eyes fixed upon Miya. Miya sat down. "You are..." she muttered."Who do you think l am?" the man asked."Jameson Uba?""Right." Jameson retreated his legs and leaned forward, placing his elbows on the desk."May I ask why you want to meet me?""I want you to work for me,"Jameson said clearly. "To work for you? But I'm just a secretary with ze
"Mr. Jameson Uba, please forgive me and understand that I can't help you." Miya shook her head immediately. Then she added, "However, I promise to stay neutral. Whatever you and your brother fight over, I can't support you, but I won't support him and go against you either. But, of course, I do hope you two can find a solution in peace. You are brothers, after alI.""Don't waste my time and speak nonsense. Listen, I will pay you one million every time you help me, but if you refuse, then I will make sure you regret it." Jameson snapped."Mr. Jameson Uba, I honestly don't have the capability in obtaining any confidentialinformation from your brother, and I don't want to have anything to do with whatever conflicts between you two. Please, please!”."You will regret it.""I merely want to stay away from it.""You are his lègal wife! You are already involved." Jameson sneered and waved his eye, implying that Miya should leave now.Miya hesitated, took another look at Jameson, and left. S
"Huh?" Miya found it senseless."But then everyone will know. Are you sure I should leave early ?"Xenon said impatiently, "My time is more important than yours.""Yes, of course. But isn't it easier if I take a taxi or...""Don't cross me." Xenon snapped.Miya shook her head in confusion. "l just thought you didn't want people to know about our relationship.""The staff and strangers don't need to know, but my family and relatives do. If they find out, let them."Miya decided to leave it be. Whatever he says. She thought. I shall not argue with him. Pointless."Right." Miya compromised."How are you liking your job?" Xenon changed the subject. "It's not bad.""Tell me the truth," Xenon demanded."It is not bad. I have a lot of free time for myself.""What do you do with it?""Just checking some new design works about interior decoration and architecture. It's interesting."Xenon was rather surprised to hear so. He thought he could bore her by not assigning her any work soon that she
Miya found cooking very therapeutic, especially baking. She also baked two cakes, one looking like an angry dragon and the other a gentle fairy hidden in a little forest.When Xenon arrived at the dining room, he noticed the cakes first. He was impressed at first, then he looked a bit annoyed and said with a sneer. "A very angry dragon. What is it going to do with the frightened fairy ?"Miya didn't expect Xenon to interpret her thoughts. Worried, she tried to justify herselfinstantly, "Oh, I just had a weird dream about them last night. It doesn't meąn anything.""Did I say it's supposed to mean anything?" Xenon retorted, his eyes fixed upon hers."Ha. No. Well, it's meant to be eaten for sure." Miya replied with a cheeky smile.Miya sliced the head of the dragon, put it on a plate, and passed it to Xenon. "I hope you like it." She grinned.Seeing her cheeky look, Xenon seemed less distant. He accepted the cake and forked a bite into his mouth. "Very nice. You will get a reward of o
Xenon decided to help Miya when they first met merely because he thought she looked like Sol Keaton, but as he got to know her a bit better, he realized that Miya reminded him more of the little girl, the angel.Miya breathed heavily, looking at Xenon, not knowing what to do or what to say anymore."Get up and get out of my room." Xenon got off her and said coldly."What's between us?" Miya asked, lying on the bed still. She bit her lips, looking at Xenon with tearful eyes."Nothing. I purchased you. You are a toy. What else do you think you are?" Xenon sneered."Xenon Uba, you can have any woman you want. Why did you do that to me? Don't you find it..."Miya wanted to say 'disgusting,' but she thoughtbetter off and rephrased, "Don't you think you deserve better?"Xenon glared at her. "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it. You were moaning aloud." He got up and walked to the bathroom. "Ask the maid to come and change the beddings. Don't forget to take the pills."Miya heard the bathroom
