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
Mia propped her cheek on her palm and looked at her paycheck with a worried look. Although she had just received her salary, it was just a drop in the bucket for the investigator. “You just got your paycheck today. Why do you still look unhappy?” Her colleague asked, frowning. One look at Mia told her that she was upset. “Would you like to have a barbecue with me tonight?” “Okay. See you tomorrow.” The colleague smiled and took her bag to leave. Mia slowly packed up her laptop. When she was about to leave, someone patted her back. It was David. He was dressed in a brown windbreaker, looking fresh and pristine. He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling with delight. “Ready to go? How about I walk you to the bus stop? What’s wrong? You look upset. Having trouble at work?” Mia clasped the straps of her backpack and smiled. “No, I was just thinking about thinking about something. By the way, David, are you free tonight? I just got my paycheck today and was thinking of taking you out for
Mia’s head started to pound. It was hard for her to deal with this matter with Ease. Normally, she wouldn’t admit that she was married, especially since she had married in Eva’s stead. If people knew that she was married, their little secret would be exposed.Forcing an apologetic smile, she tried to laugh it off and said, “I time Chris just now, didn’t I?” Darren snorted but said nothing. The atmosphere among the three seemed to be as cold as ice. Mia had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the way into the restaurant. After they sat down, David excused himself and went to the bathroom to calm himself down. He just couldn’t accept the fact that Mia was married out of the blue. Ever since he had taken his seat, Darren hadn’t even glanced at Mia. While flipping through the menu, Mia nudged him gently. “Are you mad at me?” The man rested his chin in his hand as he skimmed through the menu. His eyes were cloudy, and he didn’t even look at her when she tried to talk to him. Wi
Mia unhurriedly put down her knife and fork and calmly looked at the woman with heavy makeup. She knew that Mia just wanted to smear her name in front of all these people. But she also knew that Eva was an idiot. She was wearing a Chanel dress, an Hermes handbag, and a Dior necklace. How dare she talk about frugality while dressed like that? “I asked you for money because you owe me money. Isn’t it only natural for people to pay off their debts?” Mia's voice was clear yet calm. Tears rolled down Eva's cheeks uncontrollably. She sobbed, “mom and dad took good care of you, yet this is how you reply to them! They really can’t afford to give you money now. We are family. How can you bear to treat them like this?” Then, she suddenly took her necklace off and threw it at Mia, crying even louder. “We really don’t have the money! This necklace must be worth something. Take it as payment of our debt! Please don’t threaten mom and dad anymore. Eva carefully painted herself as the poor
The people around them felt there was an inside story, and opinions gradually changed. The opulent restaurant housed wealthy diners. Many people could tell that Eva’s attire and accessories were all real deals from renowned brands by merely looking at her. “Well, it looks like she is the shameless one. She wears only luxury brands. I'm sure she is from a wealthy family.” “I guess she is slandering the girl only to avoid paying the debt.” “Damn it! I didn’t expect the situation would reverse.” Eva felt a pang of regret. But she opened the wallet anyway that was stacked with money. “”Give it to me.” With a faint smile, Mia stood up and took out the money from Eva’s wallet. She carefully counted the bills and neatly arranged them. “Ten thousand dollars is also money. Thank you Miss Thompson.” Eva had nothing left now apart from her clothes and shoes. “ just wait and see!” She said through gritted teeth. Mia smiles and puts the necklace and the money into the Hermes birkin. “Okay
