The doctor's words from that day still come back to her, he said in a pitiless voice:- Your younger brother can no longer be saved.The tears in the eyes flow.Mia kisses Jeanne firmly.- My little brother is at school, I'll bring him to visit you next time.Jeanne is confused, but nods without saying anything.Mia wipes the tears from her face smiling and speaks:- Mom, what do you want to eat? I will buy it for you.Jeanne says nothing, her arms hug her knees, it's an expression of lack of feeling of security.Mia talks with her, but Jeanne just stares somewhere thoughtless, her gaze unfocused and a bit blank.- Mom...Mia grabs her shoulders shaking her.- Talk to me, look at me, I'm Mia, your daughter.Jeanne recognized her just now, she called her name again.Mia does not accept that Jeanne's memory is confused, sometimes she remembers, sometimes she does not remember.- Don't do that.The nurse doing the rounds sees that Mia is a bit agitated, comes in to stop her.Mia looks at
Mia shares the location with him, then she gets up from the bed. Chloe sees Mia already up and says to her:- Meal is ready.- I don't eat at home, I have things to do outside.Mia ties up her hair which is a bit messy, walks to the door, puts on the shoes, then rushes out.Not wanting Serge to come to the house, she waits for him at the crossroads.Serge will be arriving soon.Mia doesn't wait long for Serge to arrive, he's wearing different clothes than usual.Since Mia has known him, he always dresses casually or wears a white coat. This is the first time Mia has seen him in costume.Serge gets out to open the car door for her.Mia does not get in the car directly, but asks him:- Is this an important occasion?She refers to the costume he wears.- Not really.He pays no attention to it.Mia gets in the car. No one addresses the previous subject.Serge drives, Mia remains silent.The atmosphere in the car is little tricky.- Don't worry, stay with me and everything will be fine.Se
Mia hesitates for a moment before walking slowly to approach him.Mia has never seen him this close without distractions. He is a man who shows great maturity, which makes him a mature, warm and generous man.His eyebrows, his forehead, his temples showed no imperfection, not a wrinkle.You might think she's calm right now by seeing her gaze, but deep down inside, Mia is disturbed.Maybe it's the knowledge that he could be the father of the child she's carrying in her womb, which has subconsciously caused her to worry about what he thinks of her. Women are always particularly sensitive, and all the more so during pregnancy.- He helped me a lot. But I didn't know what was going to happen when he asked me to come with him today, let alone that you would be here today. It was not my intention.His eyebrows are furrowed, his expression is so complex that no one can decipher it.Mia believes that he does not trust her and considers her a woman of little virtue.But she's not that kind of
Joseph hasn't frowned at all since the very beginning. He hides his injured hand behind with a calm expression, but it seems that he is not calm like his appearance.When he looks at Morgane who is insulting, the coldness appears on his face and becomes stronger.- What are you doing here? Move!The guards receive the order. They grab Morgane and push her outside.Morgane is totally mad and makes a violent scene. She wallows on the ground and bites the guards.- Joseph, you insult my daughter, but you don't take your responsibility, you'll be in hell! Do you do anything because you're rich? You don't take responsibility because you're rich? We must be oppressed by you, because we don't have the money or the power?Morgane screams without controlling her emotion, but it seems that she is aware saying that Joseph is oppressing her.She is a victim.Everyone notices that there is a great event.Joseph insulted her daughter?This is amazing news.Not only the employees, but also the guard
She thinks she can be calm and she is ready to deal with Joseph's reminder. But when she sees him, she realizes that the past events, the wounds and the pains still exist.She thinks she forgot them. But in fact, it is false.George is embarrassed. But now he wants to beg her. He therefore ignores his dignity.He kneels down next to Mia's feet.- Mia, the company will be bankrupt. We have disputes with the owners over the works collapsing, it has caused deaths. I'm at a dead end, please help me.He risks a lawsuit because of the work, and moreover, there are deaths. Thanks to the contract that Mia gave him, he sells it to comfort addicts. He resolves in secret by giving a large sum of compensation.Nevertheless, the relevant departments are serious about the collapsed works. He will be prosecuted for his responsibility.He invested a lot of money in this project. The chain of capital is broken and the company risks bankruptcy.Mia looks at the kneeling man and shivers as she clenches
When the window is lowered, Mia sees the lady in the car, with the same presence and elegance as before. Yes, this woman is Serge's mother.Why is she looking for her?Mia tries to interrogate the man:- Why does Madame Touchard want to see me?The man replies, shaking his head:- I don't know. I'm just passing the message to you.Serge is nice to her, whatever the reason, she can only accept. So she says:- Let's go.Near the car, Mia is the first to greet:- Hello, Madame Touchard.Sitting, Charlene says with a gracious smile:- Miss Lambert, are you free now? There's a cafe nearby. If it's okay, we can go for a coffee.After a moment of hesitation, Mia nods in approval.- Ok.The driver opens the door, Mia leans over to get into the car.Very quickly, the car stops in front of the cafe.Mia follows Charlene into the cafe.The latter chooses a fairly quiet place and sits down, Mia is in front of her. The waiter approaches them, saying:- Excuse me, what would you like to drink?Char
The pregnant woman slips and nearly falls, causing a screeching sound below.Life and death are in a moment.The woman's mother-in-law is scared and crying.Mia's head went blank and her blood froze in an instant.After a while, she finds her voice:- Come down please, I will finance the purchase of your apartment.But the woman doesn't believe her.- Don't try to deceive me, I don't believe you!- I didn't lie to you, I'm really going to do it, even if you don't think about yourself, at least think about your baby.Mia continues to talk her out of it.The pregnant woman seems to be touched. She says, agitated:- It is exactly for my baby that I am here. Do you think it is easy for us to buy an apartment? I emptied all my savings to have a home, but would I dare let my child live in such a dangerous apartment? I'm still afraid it'll collapse and we'll all be crushed in there!By putting herself in her shoes, Mia understands what she cares about, what worries her, and what she fears.-
Mia frowns. Why does he put his arm around her when he answers Leila's call? To let her witness their honeyed words?She feels inexplicably dull and pulls away from the arms. But the more she struggles, Joseph hugs her tighter.Mia still wants to get rid of him. Joseph's lips press against Mia's ear and he warns her:- Don't move. I'll answer the call, huh?Mia doesn't dare to move anymore and calms down with his deep and soft voice.Joseph smiles, as if pleased with Mia's silence. He casually caresses Mia's waist through the garment.A man's hurried voice comes from the other end of the phone:- Mr. Cosey, Miss Fadel had a car accident and is now in hospital.What ?Leila had a car accident?The phone is very close to Mia, and she heard it.She turns to Joseph, who is also looking at her. He is also surprised by this situation.- When it has arrived ?- An hour ago.Joseph lets go of Mia, gets up and takes his coat. After taking a few steps, he notices that Mia is there. He looks at
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
