Due to your personal reasons against her.” Mary anxiously bit her lips “ why would I have anything against her?” She shrugged trying to sound indifferent. “There were many bad rumors about when we were at college. She isn’t as innocent as she seems. During her freshman year, Mia would roam around stealing other people’s boyfriends. I know her better than u guys. She has a bad reputation.

Her heart was racing in her chest as she didn’t expect Darren to catch her staring at him. Darren stretched himself and walked to the kitchen. His tousled jet black hair made him look even more sexier. He opened the cupboard to get the softwares. His mother had raised him all by herself, a difficult fit for a single mother to perform.

The man in the backseat put aside a stack of documents he had been Perusing. Then changed from his svelte, tailored suit to an old jacket. James twisted around to look at his boss who has been going through so much trouble travelling back-and-forth every day, “ you used to call me only once or twice a year Boss,” James pointed out, “ you have villas all over the city, you can just move into one of them with your wife. Why do you bother going to this dump every single day?”Darren threw him a cold gaze “you’ve been awfully talkative lately. Do you have so much time in your hands? If you have nothing better to do, you might as well clean up and tend to these other villas of mine.” James immediately shut up and looked away.

“Good morning, Mr Micheal.” Mia lowered her head and greated him respectfully.

Sensing the suspicion in his tone, Mia clutched the wallet tightly, she had forgotten that she was playing the role of a spoiled Eva now. “I used to spend whatever money I had, I don’t have savings anymore. I’ve been at odds with my parents, so I donot want to ask them for money. I’m broke now.” She lied, hiding her nervousness. Her eyelashes fluttered as she averted her eyes. Darren stroked the coins in his hands. He remembered seeing Mia quarrelling with her parents when he went to the Thompson family house. They didn’t seem to get along with each other. “ what happened? Why are you nervous? Why do you freak out everytime I mention your family?” Darren ruffled Mia’s hair gently. “ how can I spend a woman's money? You better use my money first.” After a moment's thought, Darren took out his wallet from his jacket pocket and placed it on Mia’s hands “ I have made some money while working part-time in a shop for the past few days.” Mia looked at his wallet, and her bangs covered

Darren averted his gaze. “ I rented this car. It’s your first day at work, I wanted to pick you up with it.” “Renting a luxury car, for just one day must have been expensive. Darren I know you did it out of kindness, but you don’t have to do this for me. We have to accept the reality and live our lives.” Mia stuttered, she was not the biological daughter of the Thompson family, but a simple girl who was used to poverty, she wasn't used to a life of luxury.The situation was embarrassing. She had been working hard to save up money to pay for the private investigator and meet her daily needs, Even though Darren didn’t spend her money, it still broke her heart to see him waste money on unnecessary luxuries.

Mia was busy everyday at work and seldom had time for herself. Time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye because she was consumed with work. “What a coincidence! How about we go back together?” David stopped Mia at the front of the elevator. Ever since Mia joined the Preston group, the two had been coincidentally meeting everyday at work. Sometimes Mia would meet David even though she worked over time. “David, how come we meet everyday after work?” Mia asked, smiling. Her biggest problem was not knowing to say no to people. Just then, her phone blared in her bag. She took it and saw Darren’s name flashing on the screen. Therefore, she quickly answered the call, “what’s up?” “I found a house. I’m in the cafe opposite your company. Let’s go and see the house together.” Darren’s words were brief and concise. She didn’t expect him to act fast. Mia pulled away her phone and looked at David apologetically, “ I’m sorry David, I have important work to do. I have to go now.” “Oka
