After pausing for the daughter to think, Minnie asked again. “How about it, Mia? Do you want to meet up?” For three seconds, the girl's lips just trembled without a word. Knowing her daughter's doubts, the old woman let out a faint sigh. "Do you know? His fate is almost the same as yours." "Almost the same?" Mia muttered, starting to wrinkle her brows. "Yes. His name is Liam. He is also the son of a servant, who was educated by a kind businessman. Now, Liam works as the good man's personal assistant,” Minnie explained, successfully getting the attention of her daughter. With a slightly downcast face, Mia pondered. "His background is similar with mine." "Yes. Your lives are too very similar, even though he's not as lucky as you. That's why, I'm sure, he can understand you." From under the raised eyebrows, the girl examined her mother's expression. "Why isn't he as lucky as me?" she asked slowly. “His father died while taking the

Hearing a low-pitched voice that spoiled the ears, Mia suddenly shuddered. Her hearing wasn't wrong at all. The young man holding her hand was indeed named Liam. "What is it, Miss? Is there something wrong with my name?” the personal assistant asked while raising an eyebrow. His charm successfully snapped the girl in front of him back to her senses. “Sorry,” Mia sighed as she lowered her hand and stepped back a little. With stiff lips adorned with a grimace, she made up an excuse. "Your name sounds familiar." With a small nod, Liam flashed a wider smile. The man seemed to hide something behind the mysterious twinkle in his eyes. Not wanting to be hypnotized anymore, Mia immediately moved her palm towards the door. However, before she could speak, another voice had already interrupted. "Uncle Howard? Why are you here? Gosh, I should be the one approaching you. Now I feel a little bit cheeky,” Julian chimed in as he approached with arms outstret

After a moment of silence, Julian raised his voice again. "She is my lover."In an instant, Mia's heart was beating fast. She didn't expect that the CEO would admit her status in front of Liam.However, before the girl had time to think of a response to show, the man beside her had already snorted."Do you think I believe it? A woman as sweet as Miss Sanders could not possibly fall for a man as emotional as you. She definitely wants a man who can treat her gently and lovingly.”Hearing the ridicule, the CEO's ears suddenly heated up.“How dare you underestimate me,” Julian grumbled before looking straight at the secretary. “Mia, quickly tell this man about our relationship. He really needs an explanation.”Unexpectedly, the girl's hands clenched. The image of Julian with Katniss had clouded her senses. Forcing a smile, she turned to Liam.“Please ignore Mr. Evans' words. He really likes to joke arou

“Mia, may I borrow Julian for a moment?” Katniss asked between gasps. She completely ignored the expression on the face that was avoiding her. "What's the matter, Katniss?" the man inquired with furrowed brows. Without waiting for the secretary's reply, the uninvited guest grabbed Julian's arm to follow her. “Wait a minute, Katniss. You can't just drag me around like this," the man protested, trying to escape the model's grip. "I have a serious talk with Mia." "But this is more urgent, Julian," Katniss whispered as she placed the CEO's thumb on the sensor. As soon as the door opened, the two of them instantly disappeared from Mia's sight. In an instant, the tears flowed even more profusely. "Isn't that pretty obvious? What else would you like to talk about, Sir?” the secretary sighed, full of emphasis. A second later, the girl staggered towards her desk. After taking a deep breath, she sat down and wiped away the sadness.

After signing the affidavit and sealing it, Julian handed Katniss the piece of paper. "Are you sure this is enough to refute the wrong news about us?" the man asked with brows drawn in concern. "At least, we don't just sit back and let people think the news is true," Katniss said while putting the paper in the folder containing her statement. After nodding, Julian tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. “Will these rumors affect your reputation?” Without thinking, the woman chuckled. "Of course it matters, but I'm becoming more and more famous." “Then, after the affidavit is expanded, will you receive any bad repercussions?” "No. People will even praise me for being kind enough to help you out in between my very busy schedule,” Katniss replied as she put the folder into her big bag and got up from the chair. "Enough. Instead of worrying about my career, you better think about your lover. Before she hears from someone else, you have to t
