Joseph nods his head slightly. His perfectly defined jawline tightens a bit. Two words come out slightly:- Tell me.- Eight years ago, George Lambert and Jeanne Calment divorced. Jeanne and her daughter were sent to Country A. They never returned during those eight years. But not long ago they were brought back by George.Joseph frowns. According to him, this may be the reason why she knows the language of Country A, because she lived there.- That's all ?Obviously, this does not satisfy him.Paul hesitates for a moment before continuing to speak:- After Jeanne Calment was sent to Country A, she gave birth to a boy who suffered from autism. They lived in poverty. Before they returned, the boy died in a car accident.Joseph frowns. His expression becomes more and more serious. The last time she showed her sadness because of her brother?Thinking of the baby she is carrying, he asks again:- Nothing more ? Are there no men around her?- No. There is only one psychologist who was clos
Mia finds him disconcerted.Isn't he also with Leila?Moreover, Serge and her are not in a relationship like what he thinks. How can he meddle in these matters?- I don't meddle in your business, so don't meddle in my personal affairs either...Before she finishes speaking, Joseph suddenly presses his lips to Mia's.All the words get stuck on the tip of his tongue. She can no longer speak.- Umm...Mia regains consciousness and pushes him.Joseph becomes reasonable again and takes a step back.Incredulous, he stares at the woman in front of him!What did he do just now?Leila always tried to approach him, but he never had the urge to approach her.However, when he looks at this woman's pink lips, his head goes blank for a moment. He then does something unexpected!Mia has never acted so intimately with a man, except that night. She feels ashamed and amazed.- Who gave you the right to do that?Mia feels attacked.It's true that she sold herself, but she's not an easy woman.Joseph tur
Mia comes to the hospital, Serge is sitting in the corridor, his hands on his knees, slightly arching his back, looking like he's thinking.Mia comes to stand next to him without him noticing.- What are you thinking about?Serge raises his head, comes to his senses when he sees Mia, his gaze moving towards the interior of the patient's room.- Your mother seems mentally unstable.Mia doubts it and says:- Yes. Go home and rest, I'll take care of her.Serge's eyes brush Mia's belly.- You also need to rest.- Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself.Mia gives him a relaxed smile.Serge remains silent for a moment, then nods, saying:- Call me when you need me.Mia accepts it by thanking him, Serge gets up and heads for the exit. Mia purses her lips as she watches him walk away. She doesn't know anything about him. Does he have a family, close relatives? She knows almost nothing about it, although she has known him for a long time.It is obvious that something was worrying him j
Mia stands in the doorway, staring at Leila.Leila, made uncomfortable in this way, glances at the screen of the laptop in Mia's hand. She's away from her cell phone, she can't see anything. Joseph being right in front of her, she cannot show her anger. She asks as if nothing had happened:- Mia, why are you looking at me like that?At these words, Mia comes to her senses, and she has an impulse to ask her to explain herself in the presence of Joseph.But, she calms down and gives it up.Leila is the woman Joseph loves. Whatever she does, how can Joseph punish the woman he loves because of her purely indentured wife?She holds the phone firmly in her palm and it takes a long time for her to calm down her emotions.She answers Leila with a smile:- Because I find you so lovely, your beauty petrified me, Miss Fadel, aren't you going to get angry about that?With that, Mia walks over to them, her gaze brushes the file on the coffee table, she reaches out and picks it up, it's the contrac
When Mia sees them, she stops her steps, Morgane also sees her frowning.- Mom, isn't that Mia? How could she be here?Judith cannot contain her emotions like Morgane.- She came to eat here?The dishes here are excellent in presentation and taste, and of course the prices are not accessible to modest people.Mia can also come and eat in this kind of place?Morgane chuckles and says:- She entered the Cosey family, although Joseph is lame, he does not benefit less from wealth and his social place. It is not surprising that she can frequent such a place.Not wanting to talk to them, Mia is about to leave, but Judith blocks her way.- You are only the bride of a cripple, by frequenting a high-end place, you remain an abominable Cinderella.She looks at Mia's clothing from head to toe, she can't help laughing.- Step aside, says Mia coldly.Judith refuses to give in.- Why are you upset? Are you exasperated as soon as you are told that you are married to a cripple?Paul frowns, just when
Mia tries to calm down.- Sir, please turn around, I forgot something at the company and I need to retrieve it.The driver pretends not to hear.Mia raises her voice:- Please stop!The driver accelerates, changes his tone and says coldly:- We haven't arrived yet.Mia is out of breath! But she mustn't panic now, she tries to pull out her phone to ask for help.Seeing her intentions, the driver brakes suddenly. The phone falls from Mia's hands.- Who are you, what do you want to do?Although panicked and frightened, Mia does not let herself go.The driver presses the accelerator and glances in the rearview mirror, saying:- Did you upset anyone, miss? I'm just doing what I was paid for.Her heart is beating very fast and her hands are shaking slightly. Who wants to hurt her?Leila ?- I can also pay!Mia tries to negotiate with the driver.The driver takes a look at her cheap clothes that don't look like a wealthy person.The driver doesn't believe her.Seeing the car getting further
They are afraid that Mia will use Joseph's power to antagonize them, but Mia doesn't expect that to be one of their reasons for hurting her.She didn't think of it before, but that's not the case anymore.They not only hurt Mia, but also threaten the safety of the baby in her womb!Her concession, in their eyes, is a symbol of weakness and cowardice?- So what ? What do you want to do ?Since she can no longer hide the secret, Morgane no longer pretends.- Absolutely, you're just a good-for-nothing who was abandoned by dad...- Why are you arguing in the morning? And you, why are you here?George wants to scold them, but when he sees Mia there, he changes his tone.Mia glances at Morgane and Judith, and finally lays her eyes on her father, saying:- You don't want the Bay land?George is surprised, he asks:- Did you take it?At the same time, Morgane and Judith look at her with burning eyes.They look scared, because Joseph is really nice to Mia.Otherwise, he wouldn't give her the B
Almost everyone in the company knows about the relationship between Leila and Joseph.Leila deliberately spread the news of their intimate relationship, while Joseph, without stopping her or denying this information, tacitly accepted it.Now Leila is no longer just Joseph's secretary, but also a woman who would become the wife of the young master of the Cosey family. Thus, there are quite a few people who flatter her and hold her in esteem in the company.As soon as Joseph has gone to the office, someone comes to try to befriend her.- Leila, what do you often go out with Joseph to eat? We envy you a lot.Leila glances at Mia in a corner and says with a smile:- Nothing, it's ordinary dishes like fried chicken, chicken breast and sauted shrimp...- Wow, these are all dishes you like to eat!Tania looks very flattering, continuing:- Mr. Cosey is really nice to you.Leila smiles slightly as she involuntarily touched her delicate fingernails. She didn't say a word, which is interpreted
Justin was acting mysteriously:- Once you've seen the person, you'll know who she is. Now eat your lunch.- So when can she come back? asked Mia.She was slightly emotional, but also full of questions.- Do I know this person?- I see you're usually quite calm and collected, why are you so anxious now?The old man's tone was serious.- Be patient, said Justin, rising to his feet. Eat a little more.Mia shook her head, she was too anxious. The fact that he was telling her all this today meant he was ready to tell her everything she wanted to know.Now all she had to do was wait patiently for his sister to arrive, and maybe the fog and confusion surrounding her would lift.Compared to the calm of the courtyard, the garden was bustling with activity.Since Mia wanted to stay, Raphaël didn't leave either. He hadn't brought many people with him, only his assistant Cyril. Compared to the many people surrounding Joseph, he seemed to be weaker.The stream was trickling, the surface of the wa
- You are...- Mr Justin, we're here to learn how taffeta is made.Raphaël spoke first, explaining the purpose of their visit.Justin looked at the people standing at the entrance. He squinted his eyes, one could see his wrinkles. His eyes were deep, he entered the house.- Let's go in.The living room of the wooden house was small, it couldn't accommodate all the people. The security guards didn't enter as they stood outside.Even then, the house was crowded after they entered.The design of the house was simple, it was an antique style, there were eight chairs in the living room. A few drawings hung on the wall on both sides. They didn't match each other and looked messy. A table was placed in the middle. Justin sat down by it.He picked up a cigarette and lit it,- Who wants to learn from me?Mia held Remy's hand and stepped forward, saying sincerely:- I want to learn from you how to make taffeta. If you are willing to do so, be the master of my company. The pay is up to you.He s
- Why do you think Sylvie came with me? Because we are in love and I brought her here. I think today, the sun is shining and the weather is glorious, it is indeed a good day, so I choose to tell you that Sylvie and I are in love today, said Norbert with a lot of seriousness and energy.Mia didn't say anything. As the saying goes, everything can be ruined, except marriage. So she just told Norbert:- Since you've decided, forget what happened before and treat Sylvie well.Sylvie immediately felt embarrassed and lowered her head.- Mia, I... didn't deliberately hide this from you...- Okay, it's getting late, let's eat first.She would not blame Sylvie; after all, she was an adult and should have known what she was doing. The only thing that concerned her was that Norbert might hurt her.As they had not known each other for long, Norbert was so fickle that Sylvie could get hurt by him.Sylvie tapped Norbert's hand and went to Mia, saying,- Mia.Mia put her arms around Sylvie's shoulder
Norbert was tense, because Sylvie was Mia's friend. How would he explain this?- Stop crying, please.Norbert approached her to comfort her, but as soon as his hand touched Sylvie's shoulder, she pushed him away and cried out,- Get away from me! I don't want to see you anymore!She couldn't help shivering as she recalled what had happened the night before.Norbert's face changed, but he did not show his displeasure. After all, as a man, he had not suffered any loss in this matter.Not to mention that it was not the first time he had made love with a woman, but for Sylvie, it was the first time she had slept with a man.In a delirious state, she had lost the most valuable thing as a woman. So, he did not get angry even when she raised her voice.- Mia is outside and just knocked on the door.Norbert looked at her intently. He hoped she could calm down and resolve the most urgent problem first.Sylvie's tears suddenly stopped. She raised her reddened eyes.- So?Oh, no. It was so shame
In hindsight, Sylvie realized that Norbert was deliberately making Mia drink, but as to why he was forcing her to do so, she didn't understand.- It's not proper for you to do that.Sylvie glanced at Norbert.- As a man, how can you deliberately make a woman drink? It's a terrible thing. Fortunately, Mia is intelligent because she can see through your trick in the blink of an eye.Norbert was now embarrassed. Wasn't he just helping his friend?This woman daringly accused him.He pulled the chair and sat next to Sylvie, saying:- What do you know? Huh, you dare to accuse me?He deliberately sat close to her, and when he spoke, the alcoholic breath overwhelmed her. She frowned.- Get out!- Where are you going? It's just a small place.Norbert approached her and his mouth was even closer to Sylvie's face.Lucas shook his head. It was obvious that Norbert was flirting with her. He didn't want to be the fifth wheel, so he discreetly got up and left the room.Seeing the others leaving, Syl
Norbert and Sylvie were sitting at the window seat. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.Norbert looked exhausted. When he saw them come in, he lunged at them without caring about his image.- You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for half a day.Lucas pushed him away with disgust.- Are you lost? What took you so long?Norbert had said he had been gone for a long time and that he should have arrived early.While talking, Lucas glanced at Sylvie walking towards Mia. Why did Norbert bring her here too? What has this guy done to her?Norbert was upset, he didn't notice Lucas's strange look. When he came, he had been caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when he wanted to get married, otherwise she wouldn't have let him out.He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year, and he managed to get out only after saying that.So he was delayed.The main problem was that he didn't even hav
Mia was about to explain the situation when the saleswoman interrupted:- Odile, don't listen to her. She's the one who brought these people here and who's putting this place in chaos. You'd better find someone and stop them all.Mia frowned.Joseph brought Julie over to Mia:- Go wait for me in the car.He was going to handle these things. As much as he wanted to train his son in courage, he didn't want his daughter exposed to this. Girls have to be protected in this case.Mia carried her daughter in her arms. She was about to leave when Odile, the saleswoman's cousin, stopped her:- We're embarrassed about the case because of you. How will things work out if you leave?Joseph raised his head, giving her a murderous look.- Talk with me, he said indifferently.His deep voice and indifference dominated, and when Odile met Joseph's eyes, she felt shy. He looked even more imposing than Raphaël. At the sight of his handsome face, she felt dizzy.He gave an impression of mysterious oppres
Joseph felt like the saddest man in the world. He hugged his wife, but he couldn't make love to her.Her hair brushed his face and her scent of shampoo wafted through the air, he kissed the back of her neck.Half of Mia's face was buried in the pillow. Looking at her sleeping son and daughter, she touched their cheeks.At the thought of the scene from her first time with Joseph. She wasn't feeling well, but morose.- Joseph, how many women have you slept with?She didn't know why, but thinking he'd made love to other women made her feel sad.This was the first man in her life.Although she tried not to think about it, it was still difficult.It's true that she's sentimental.She's always had a special affection for this man.This question made Joseph stop kissing her.- Why are you asking all of a sudden? he said, his voice even a little hoarse.Mia buried her face deeper into the pillow:- Nothing, I'd just like to know. Well. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep first.However, Joseph didn't fee
- I never pursued a woman. Anyway, do you still need to?Joseph already had a wife and children.Pursue a woman?Who?Lucas opened his eyes wide. - Are you...But Lucas didn't think Joseph was that kind of playboy. He'd been anxious when Mia had gotten lost, he must have loved her a lot.Joseph frowned, remembering Mia's piercing eyesight. He really wanted to please her.Lucas glanced at him and asked cautiously:- Doesn't Mia want to be with you?Joseph returned a cold look.Even if Mia didn't want to be with him, Joseph couldn't tell him, could he?Lucas spoke. - You should ask Norbert how to please a woman.Ding!Just then, the elevator returned to its original position. The elevator door opened.In the lobby, Mia didn't go into the VIP room, she stayed there and talked with Raphaël. Joseph stayed away from them, he couldn't hear what they were talking about. His face changed when he saw them talking.He walked forward. Lucas slowed his pace and kept his distance.Joseph looked u
