Unexpected ties: Arranged Marriage. Chapter Thirty Two.
“Help, help! He’s trying to rape me” Mia grasped the door frame and shouted desperately. Sam held her wrist tightly and dragged her into the room. Despite struggling with all her might, helpless tears rolled down her cheeks as she screamed until her voice grew hoarse. However, no one responded to her pleas. Then, a flicker of hood ignited in her heart when she caught a glimpse of a waiter pushing a dining cart down the corridor in the distance. Hoping against hope that the waiter could help her, she shouted with all of her might, “help! This man’s trying rape me! Please help me! Please help me! Call the police! Please!” The waiter paused and glanced at her as she desperately called for his help. However his eyes were cold, and then he proceeded to walk away as though he hadn’t seen or heard anything, disappearing behind the corners of the corridor. “Shut up already, people here don't meddle in our business even if they see it. After all, they’ve seen too much of it. So be a good

Darren led Mia into the elevator. She kept her head down and her haves were clasped tightly together. She was still trembling. Her breathing was also faster than normal. All of a sudden, Darren lifted the black cap he put in her head. Mia looked up in a panic. Warm tears had already welled in her eyes. Her long lashes were wet and shiny. This made her look pitiful and beautiful at the same time. “Are you hurt?” A faint gleam of pity flickered in his eyes as he checked her body. He pinched her cheeks and stared at them for a while. Next, he reached down to lift her clothes with the intentions of checking waist. Mia quickly held her clothes down with both gave. Her face flushed and she shifted uneasily. “Please don’t do that I’m fine. Don’t worry about me,” she said in a low voice. Afterwards, she kept silent again. She looked depressed with her head lowered. Darren sensed her uneasiness and fright. To put her ease, he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

Just as Darren was about to walk out of the bedroom, Mia, wearing nothing but bath towel, came out of the bedroom and met his gaze. The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment. Darren then slipped one hand into his trouser pocket, while the other hand was holding a mug. Nobody spoke for what seemed like an eternity. Darren, truth be told, was stunned speechless. His Adam’s Apple bobbed as he gulped excitedly. He was much taller than Mia, so he could clearly see cleavage peeking from above the bath towel. When Mia realized what he was looking at, she blushed a bright red and tried to rush into her room, intending to pretend that nothing had happened. But the corridor wasn’t that big. It only took Darren two steps to grab her by the wrist and pull her into his arms from behind. The woman’s skin was smooth and supple subconsciously making him want to caress it. “Honey, you shouldn’t dress like this and walk around,” he teased in a low voice, deliberately poking fun of

The next day, Mai went to work. Her stomach churned with unease the entire time. She knew that Sam wouldn’t spare her for what happened last night. As soon as she arrived at her desk and sat down, Sam stormed out of his office and threw a stack of documents on her table. “You are fired! Pack your things and get out of here now!” Mia picked up the documents and looked at them. They were all designs drafts she had previously submitted. “May u know why you’re firing me, Mr. Sam?” She asked calmly. There was still a band aid on the bridge of his nose to cover the injury he had suffered last night. His eyes were blazing with rage. Mias words reminded him of the way he was humiliated last night. “You’re incompetent for your current position!” He said venomously. “Pack your things and get out if the Preston group. You’re just a graduate. I’ll make sure you don’t flourish in the fashion field, ever. As long as I’m in the industry, you won’t be able to get a job, let alone succeed in your c

The video clearly proved that Sam had assaulted Mia and attempted to rape her. He knew nothing would save him now. His leg grew weak, and he slumped on the chair beside him. Micheal signalled his assistant to take away the laptop. “The evidence says it all. Sam, you are fired from the Preston Group ok account of sexually harassing a fellow employee. Sam looked at Mia with resentment, thinking about how to take revenge on her. A group of police officers then came and dragged Sam away. David walked to Mia and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let Sam take you away yesterday. Did he hurt you?”Mua shook her head, smiling. Then, she put her design works on the table. “It’s not your fault, David. I told you not to get involved in the issue yesterday. I thought it was just a casual dinner with clients. He was stupid I was. Fortunately, someone saved me in time yesterday, so nothing happened.”“Well, that’s good. Thank God you don’t have to leave Preston Group now. I wond

As soon as Mia pressed her lips against his, Darren felt a surge of frenzied passion. He picked her up in his arms and put her on the sofa. He wrapped his arms around her and pecked on her lips. “You’re too naive.” He smiled. Mia was startled. The man pressed her against the sofa and deepened the kiss, swallowing her screams. The room was silent, except for the tickling of the click and rustling of clothes. “En….enough…Ethan!” Mia grasped Darren’s and looked away, intending to escape. She didn’t expect a small peck to turn into something this wild and passionate. His tongue explored her mouth with aggression as if he was going to devour her. Darren pressed his forehead against Mia’s and stared into her eyes, gleaming with inexplicable emotions. He cupped the back of her neck with his palm and gently nippled her bottom lip. Then, he grasped her pert bum and pressed it against his hardness. His body had turned hot and stiff. All of a sudden, Mia’s eyes sprang up. She quickly pu

Thinking the client was unhappy, Mia quickly sent a message. “I’ll finish the design. I promise. I’ve brought my laptop to the hospital. You don’t have to give me an extra day. I’ll finish it today, I promise.” Rich party A replied, “I don’t need it for the time being. Don’t worry. You’ll still get the payment.Mia clapped her hands excitedly as her heart swelled with gratitude. She quickly typed, “I’m grateful and moved. You’re the best client in the world.” Ethan turned off his phone and walked into the bathroom, holding his clothes. A small smile stretched across his lips as he recalled what happened in the living room. It was Friday and the weather was relatively hotter and humid. It felt as if the entire city was set ablaze. Everyone was sweating profusely, and the scent of sunscreen wafted in the air. After work, Mia took the bus back home. And gazed out the window, listening to music and watching the scenes whizzing past. Suddenly, her ringtone blared, interrupting the mu

Seeing that Mia was dead serious, the maid went into the house and told Lydia about what Mia had said. “Did she really say that?” Lydia was enjoying her strawberries. Her hand stilled when she heard that. Her gentle face reddened with rage. She looked at Frank, who was sitting next to her. “Mia had gone too far. How could she talk to her parents this way? After all, we adopted her. Although she is not close to us, I wish she at least showed us some gratitude for the things we have done for her. Do you remember what I said back then? Your parents insisted on letting us adopt her. It was unnecessary, wasn’t it? Look at what trouble it had brought us. Now, she is blackmailing us. What do you think we should do?” The memories of the past made Lydia hate Mia even more. She pulled a tissue from the box and wiped her fake tears. Seeing Lydia cry again, Frank shook his head helplessly. “No, Mia is not that kind of a person. She would never do that. It was all your fault. Why didn’t you j

The following Monday, Mia showed up at the office with dark circles around her eyes. “Did you spend the weekend in prison? You look terrible!” Brenda commented as she pulled out her chair and sat down, munching on a hot dog. “The cooperation project I am hardling is moving so fast, I needed to work overtime for two consecutive days,” Mia drawled and yawned. She was so tired that she felt she would doze off the next second. “Were you able to finish?” Leaning on her table, Mia nodded weakly. “It was finished this morning.” As the two of them chatted idly, Tiffany’s voice rang out from behind them. “Thompson, please see me in my office.” In a daze, Mia raised her head. Brenda shot her a sympathetic look then stuck out her tongue like a little child. “Sounds like you will need to review your drawings, good luck!” Barely holding herself together, Mia trudges into Tiffany’s office. “You look exhausted. I never thought anyone here would work harder than me” Tiffany sipped her coffee.

In a daze, Mia trudged back to her desk. “Brenda, Mr. Micheal wouldn’t make a huge fuss out of us employees, would he?” Mia whispered to her colleague, her voice riddled with anxiety. “Nahhh, I don’t think so. After all a boss should be be open minded. But maybe his capable of making mountains out of molehills. Who knows I can’t read minds” Brenda’s cryptic answers only served to make Mia even more uneasy. What if she had offended Micheal? The next day, when Mia rushed to work, she ran into Micheal at the gate of the company. Eyes darting around nervously, she managed to pluck up the courage to approach him anf apologize “Mr Micheal, excuse me. About what happened yesterday……” But before she could finish her sentence, when Micheal saw her approaching, he immediately turned around and rushed back inside the car. He shouted at the driver anxiously, “go get me out of here, hurry!” Mia’s steps faltered as she watched the car zoom off. She was speechless.When she sat down at her d

“What?” Micheal was scared out of his wits. His hands trembled and the teacup fell to the floor. He sprang up from the sofa and peeked out of the room to see if Darren was outside. Then, he looked at Mia and shook his head vehemently, “no I absolutely donot have a crush on you. Don’t talk rubbish, I did everything for the company and Mr Preston”. “Well…… Mr Micheal it was just casual question, I…….” Starled by his reaction, Mia quickly stood up too, “ are you okay Mr Micheal?” I’m fine don’t come near me, stay away from me. Although only the two of us are here in this room, there’s a third party watching us.” With that he opened the door and stormed out of the room. He didn’t dare to stay in the same room with Mia anymore. Micheal completely forget that this was his own room. Mia frowned, her eyes still fixed on the door, dumbfounded by his reaction. She had thought about it a lot and didn’t expect Micheal to react this way. Even if her guess was wrong, he could have at least

The next day, as soon as Mia walked into the company, Tiffany called her into the office. Mia swallowed nervously, she couldn’t tell if Tiffany believed what Eva had said yesterday. “Lind, your design was approved by the brown company. Go ahead and prepare for the project with them.” Tiffany spoke briskly, not even glancing up at Mia when she entered the office. “What? But they rejected and criticized my work yesterday. How could they change their mind overnight?” Mia’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Plus, what with the arrogant way Eva acted yesterday. Mia was under the impression that Tiffany had called inside her office to fire her. “Why are you so surprised? They’re not blind, anyone could see your design was way better than the second proposal. It’s obvious that the representative from the brown company didn’t know what they were talking about and only rejected your designs because she holds grudge against you. Anyways Mr Micheal contacted their chairman and now, Their CE

The chairman's question shocked Gerald. He walked to the sofa and slumped down, feeling helpless. “Sir, please listen to my explanation. I did ask my girlfriend to evaluate the design draft. But….” He had involved Eva in the decision making process, just to please her, thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, he didn’t expect the chairman to find out about it. Gerald broke out into a cold sweat, And didn’t dare deny his mistake. “Gerald, how could you make a mistake at this critical moment? After a lot of hard work, our company has finally managed to collaborate with the Preston group. Don’t you know the design department has been outstanding in the Preston group in recent years? I had planned to take advantage of this collaboration to develop the Brown Company into a domestic preeminent modest luxury brand. We can’t make any mistakes. Do you understand?” The chairman was furious. Gerald took a deep breath and said, “ please give me one last chance, I will undo all my mistakes

Embarrassed, Eva dropped her coffee down and said, “For the time being, I hold no position.”Her goal was to marry into a rich and powerful family, why would she work for any company? The only reason why she was involved in this project in the first place, was because she had seduced Gerald into letting her do so. Micheal pushes his glasses against the bridge of his nose. “Your relationship with Mr Gerald is a private matter, but this collaboration project is a business affair between two companies, you’re just his girlfriend. You are in no position to determine which designs are going to be used, let alone slander our employees and our company.” Eva flushed, humiliated. Who the hell was this man? How could he insult her in public like this? The more she looked at him, the more he seemed familiar. Eva thought she had seen him in the magazine before, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Nevertheless, she shot up on her feet and glowered at him. “You have offended me greatl

“Well…. Thank you.” Mia ran the tip of her fingers along the rim of her mug before taking a sip of coffee. Her lips were upturned ever so slightly. She thought that Darren had only said it to give her some comfort, though, so she decided not to take his words seriously. In any case, she was in a terrible situation. Mia definitely had more in store for her in the future, but for now, Mia just wanted to focus on keeping her job. When they had returned from the color company last time, Tiffany had proceeded to choose another designer's drafts for submission. The next day, Ray called for a meeting and made the announcement. “Color company has approved the draft of another designer. Good job everyone. You’ve been working hard, so coffee and desserts are on me. Order whatever you like. Also, another conference will be held tomorrow, and representatives from color companies will be Coming to discuss the detailed plans for this project. You are all required to attend and make sure you com

Yeah, that’s the only solution. We have no other choice.” Ray rubbed her sore shoulder and said, “we are so unlucky to have met such a vindictive client who couldn’t draw a line between their professional and professional life. Well, you go back to the office first, I have to meet another client.”Mia nodded, thinking how hard Ray worked everyday. The elevator door opened, and the two walked out, one after the other. However, before Mia left the building, she saw Eva walking towards her with an evil smile on her face. Mia’s face turned cold. “Are you angry? I haven’t even started, I haven't even barred you from the entire industry yet.” Eva scorned “the failure and success of a woman depends whether she has found the right man or not. As you can see I found the right man, he is handsome, and he is the CEO of this company. A lowly woman like you only deserves a poor illegitimate child. You have to obey others all your life. And aren’t and aren’t destined to make any achievements.
