"I wonder how Miya managed to seduce Mr. Xenon Uba!""Well, she's definitely a bold one. She just slapped Miss Sophia Moore! I wonder whose side Mr. Xenon Uba will stand on.""Miss. Sophia Moore, of course! I mean, who has the guts to anger The Moore’s family?.”"But isn't Miya now Mrs. Uba? Surely, Mr. XenonUba will support his wife...""Hush...t's Mr. Xenon Uba. Hush.."The crowd wère murmuring and gossiping with excitement, but as soon as they saw Xenon coming, they hurried away.Miya didn't see Xenon coming from behind, but Jameson and Sophia did. Jameson stayed andwatched indifferently while Sophia was curious to know how Xenon would react.Seeing that Miya didn't know he was behind her, Xenon stopped and gestured to Levi and hisbodyguards to stop as well. He wanted to see how Miya would deal with it.Miya could sense that something was up. The crowd had left. Perhaps they don't want to get involved, which is unae iandable. Miya thought.She wanted to get back to work soon as
His breathing, as well as his words, made Miya blush. She felt a sense of pleasure and embarrassment. Levi and the bodyguards must have heard! She thought.Miya buried her face on his chest, too embarrassed to look at others. In fact, no one was looking at them at all. They were either looking up at the ceiling or down on the floor.They knew well enough when not to interfere. Xenon grabbed Miya's chin and lifted her face up, "I still remember clearly what happened this morning. You are the very first person who has the guts to confront me and speak to me like that."To her own surprise, Miya replied, "What about those that went behind your back?" She regretted it as soon as she said it.Xenon's face turned stern, then he sneered, "Ha-ha. Dead." He said briefly. It sent a shiver down Miya's spine."Thanks for sparing me," Miya said timidly. The door opened, and she scurried away. "Have a nice day." She hurried back to her seat, where she felt the safest.As usual, all the other secre
Since she was little, Jodie hated to see people being bullied or taken advantage of. She had always wanted to protect those in need.Miya was her best friend from childhood, and surely she wouldn’t want anyone to treat Miyabadly. Just as she was speaking with enthusiasm, she suddenly looked terrified and turned around.Confused and shocked, Miya asked. "What's the matter, Jodie?""He, err, he's here." Jodie stuttered.Miya turned around and noticed that the bustling canteen had suddenly turned silent, and everyone was looking towards the door. It was Sean Smith walking in with the company of a few bodyguards. He had a subtle and gentle smile on.Smartly and neatly dressed, he looked elegant, successful, and there's an air of authority abouthim. His charm was different from Xenon's distant feel nor Jameson's carefree playfulness, but he was not a bit less charming than either of them.It was apparent that people were looking at him with admiration. Before Jodie could hide under thet
There was apparent mockery as well as jealousy in their tones, in their laughs. They all despised her. Miya heard pretty much all that they said, yet she remained quiet and pretended that she had not heard anything.When it was about clock out time, it suddenly went quiet in the office. Miya was working on an interior design sketch when she realized the sudden silence. She looked up from her laptop and saw Xenon coming. Everyone greeted courteously, "Good afternoon, Mr. Xenon Uba."Miya stood up immediately and accidentally bumped her knees at the leg of the table. "Ouch." she cursed quietly.Xenon stood by the door, a hand in his pocket, and looked at Miya coldly. No one dared to look at him directly except Miya, and Miya noticed the awkward silence and intention. She opened her mouth as if to say something but didn't know what to say.Xenon beckoned Miya and turned around to leave.Without hesitation, Miya hurried after him.When she followed
"Good to know," Xenon replied plainly. Then he handed a little box to her. "Put it on.""Huh?" Miya was startled."Open it.Miya opened it, saw the silver ring studded with a big pink diamond, and stared at Xenon open -mouthed. It must be worth millions! And the design is beautiful. Miya thought. She noticed the letter K carved on the ring and put it on her ring finger.Thank you." Miya said with a smile, then she thought of something and asked, "What about yours?""Huh. Why would you think I should wear one?" Xenon said with a sneer."I thought you would kneel down to propose. Isn't that the usual way?" Miya said with a grin."Who do you think you are? You are asking me to kneel down before you?!" Xenon almost exclaimed"I was just joking. We are married,after all." Miya muttered timidly. "Give it back to me if you don'twant it," Xenon said coldly."Of course I want it. I like it very much." Miya replied immediately."Then don't complain.""I won't." Miya pouted her lips and thought
Sitting next to him was an elegantly dressed beautiful lady, who must be in her seventies, butlooked only around fifty years old.Her hair had also turned gray, but she looked bright and healthy.Xenon was sitting next to his grandfather, both appeared emotionless. They look so alike. Miya thought, not just their face, but also the way they carry themselves.Benjamin opened his eyes wide at the sight of Miya, but he quickly resumed his cold andemotionless look. She looks just like Sol Keaton! He thought. He wasn't pleased with it at all.Miya noticed the change on Benjamin's face and her heart sank. She glanced at senior Mrs.Uba, who looked at Miya coldly and quickly turned toJameson with a smile. "Jameson, i've missed you so much." She beckoned him. "I wish you could come to visit more often. Why don't we get together every week instead?"Jameson wènt over and gave her a hug. "| I miss you too." He said gently. It was obvious that she had completely ignored Miya.Miya hesitated. Sh
Sophia came over and stood next to Mrs. Uba and placed her hands on Mrs. Uba's shoulders to show how close they were. "Sue, I've met her a few times. I'm rather confused and surprised how she is now Xenon's wife,I have to say. I mean, just a month ago, she was engaged to Luke Johnson, and she was his private and special assistant, helping to get contracts signed byseducing their potential business partners. Thèn suddenly, she and Xenon are married. I'm reallycurious about how she did it."On hearing this, Sue Uba was shocked. She frowned at Miya and questioned, "What sort of life were you living?"Miya wasn't stupid. She knew what Sophia was doing. Though angered, she composed herselfand said calmly, "Luke and I had a talk, and both agreed that it's better we separate. It was thepast anyway. I'm now married to Xenon, and I'm content and honored to be his wife."Xenon liked Miya's response, and he joined in supportively."Mama, let the past be the past. Miya was unlucky to have met
Miya recalled what Jodie had suggested to her. I should show her i'm not just a meek little lamb,or I will just get bullied. I have to put up with Xenon and his grandparents just because Xenonis paying for mum's treatment, but I don't have to put up with her!"Don't you threaten me with my mother!" Miya suddenly picked up a knife on the table andpointed it at Sophia. "If you ever hurt my mother, as long as l live, I will slice your facę and take revenge!"Frightened, Sophia staggered and stared at Miya open-mouthed. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had been brought up spoiled by her brother and father. No one ever dared to say no to her. Miya was the first person that ever challenged her. Just as she was to shout back at Miya, she noticed Xenon hadi just arrived, standing at the door. Immediately, she changed her attitude again and spoke gently, "It takes patience and love to cook, especiąlly for someone we love. It's ok that you don't know how to cook.I can show
