Sarah was born as an artist and. musician. She had a great talent for art, but ever since her husband passed away, she lost her interest in everything.However, she could see the expectation and eagerness in her daughter's eyes and couldn't bear to say no to her.Patiently, Sarah talked with Miya and suggested a few things that could be changed. Miya took notes, intending to work on it once she got home.Feeling tired and sleepy, Sarah yawned. The nurse came in and said with a smile. "How are you Miya? I was just about to take Sarah out for a little walk before bed. Lying in bed for too long isn't good for the body nor the mind, byou see.""Right. Shall I take her?" Miya asked."Sure." The nurse said good night to them and left.Miya took Sarah's arm, and slowly they took the lift and went up to the rooftop garden. The moon shone gently tonight."Mum, you know, I've always loved our little garden. You are the best gardener l know." Miya said cheerfully.Sarah nodded with a smile, yet
A week later, the rings, earrings and necklaces designed by Miya and made by the world's top jewelers were displayed at the press conference. Jewelry suppliers, lovers, and designers all gathered to be part of this influential event.However, it wasn't a smooth event as expected.Rare Gem, a nationally renowned jewel company, had also presented the exact same rings of the same themes as the Uba Corporations at the same time.Instantly it was on the news all over the country and internationally. People talked and laughed.Ever since the Uba Corporation was established,especially in the past years when Xenon took over, there had never been any mistakes or trouble. And today, the Uba Corporation was making a joke of itself.Everyone stared at Xenon and Miya, waiting for their response. Levi whispered nervously, "Mrs. Miya Uba, you've ruined the reputation of our company."The company had been preparing carefully to get into the jewelry market. It was ready. The press conference was liv
Who can it be? I've only worked at home and at the office, and every time when I left my desk, I turned the computer off. I'm sure no one has been in my room at home either. Who is it?!She thought hard and suddenly, she recalled the night when she went to visit her mother at the hospital. They had gone out for a walk, and she left her laptop in the room. Luke! She thought and almost exclaimed. He said he had been to the roon and didn't see us. Can it be him that stole the draft?! But he's in the construction business. Why would he steal the draft and give it to Rare Gem? What good does it do to him?Miya couldn't understand. He and I have separated. Why would he do this to me? The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew, and she took out her phone and called Luke."What is it?" Luke asked plainly."Why did you do it?""What are you talking about?”"Thief! You stole my design.""I have no idea what you are talking about. Miya, I sincerely!feel sorry that I broke up with you,b
However, her husband wasn't the most generous sort and didn't like Rebecca going shopping. The only time he would buy her presents like jewelry were on her birthday, Christmas, and their anniversary day. Rebecca wasn't pleased with it all.On hearing that Tiffany was enjoying herself shopping, spending her grandson's money, she was even more upset.As expected, Rebecca said angrily, "Has hè forgotten his grandma?! Huh! Now that he's got money”. Miya comforted gently, "Don't be upset, please, Rebecca. I'm sure he will think of you later."Rebecca heaved a sigh and said in a pretentious tone, "Miya, you are such a good girl. You wereso nice to me. You rarely spent money on yourself, but would buy me lots of presents. It's such a shame that you and Luke.."Brianina sneered quietly and said, "Ah, don't feel sorry, please. I'm grateful that Luke broke up withme actually, or would not be with Xenon now.""Xenon?"Yes. I'm married to Xenon Uba.""Xenon Uba! My gosh. That's wonderful! You
"Don't go to see anyone from the Johnson again, especially that asshole," Xenon said sternly. "I needed to find proof..." "I got it six hours ago," Xenon said. "Huh?" Miya exclaimed in disbelief. "How?" "Easy. I hired a gorgeous woman to seduce him. She got him drunk and found the deleted photos in his phone." "Impressive." Miya heaved a sigh. "It took me the whole day. I've even spent seven thousand dollars to please his grandmother to get her to trust me." "Aren't you stupid?" Xenon mocked. "I am." Miya muttered, then timidly, she added, "Is it possible that I can have the money reimbursed?" "Impossible." "But I did it only because I wanted to help you." "To help me? Whose fault is it that you had your design stolen, huh?" Miya was speechless. She was now worried about the payment of her mum's treatment next month's treatment. The money Xenon gave her wasn't even enough to cover the cost of the necklace she paid for Rebecca.Then, Xenon said with a cheeky smile, "Well, yo
Miya blushed and said, "It won't happen again." Xenon put the paper down, and they ate quietly. There was something on Miya's mind, and she finally plucked up the courage to ask. "Xenon, I've been wondering if you can help me delete those photos and videos. I'm worried that if my mum sees..." "You've done your shit, and now you want me to clean your a.s.s for you?" Xenon said rudely. "I..." Xenon threw an icy look at Miya, and she went quiet. She took a look at the beautifully prepared food on the table but got no appetite for it anymore. Xenon didn't speak again till he finished eating, taking his time. "I've moved your mum to a new place, a garden, quiet and safe. She can recover there while looking after plants. She will get paid. The few gardeners that work there will take care of her. I've also sent two bodyguards to keep her safe. There's no internet or TV, but there's a big study with books and a piano as well as an art studio."Miya listened and gazed at Xenon. She could
Xenon gave it a thought and let go of her chin. "Alright. It's up to you. You can decide what to wear and what car you want to drive, but on formal occasions, you have to wear what I bought you. I will give you another card for shopping. With the old card, you can save money for your studio." Miya looked at Xenon gratefully and said sincerely, "Thanks so much, Xenon." During the lunch break, Miya went to Xenon's office as requested to give him a massage as usual, but Xenon simply said, "Let's go." "Huh? Where to?" Miya looked at him, confused. "Didn't you say you want to choose your own clothing? I will go with you once just to make sure you aren't buying anything too ridiculous." "Ah. I see." Miya was very surprised. It was very unusual that Xenon would have time to go shopping with Miya when he was always so busy with work. She felt somehow touched as well as shocked. *** X Center was the biggest shopping center in town, a grand building of eighteen floors. From the first to
On hearing this, Miya couldn't help feeling unjust. She and Luke had known each other since childhood, but ever since Miya's father died, he never bought her any presents anymore except something cheap on her birthdays. Yet, he's been so generous with those girls he's slept with! Subconsciously, Miya clenched her fists, and she resented them. However, Xenon appeared as if he had not seen them at all. He walked past them, holding Miya's hand, without taking a look at them. Miya followed quietly.Seeing the bodyguards carrying all those expensive bags of luxury behind Miya, Tiffany couldn't help feeling jealous. "Miya." "Alright, Tiffany." Miya turned around and looked at her with a sneer. "Every time I see you, I can't help recalling our encounter in your café."Tiffany glared at Miya, but seeing Xenon holding Miya's hand, she retorted with a mocking smile, "Ha. I wonder how long you can last. I thought Mr. Xenon Uba got tired of you."Miya smiled proudly and said, "Well, I'm a luck
