INICIAR SESIÓN"Let's go," Ezra said to Jason. The car was parked discreetly on the side of the road.The panic that had gripped him earlier had gradually subsided after he'd seen with his own eyes that Mia was all right. After leaving the company parking lot, he'd ordered Jason to turn around and find somewhere they could park without attracting attention. He wanted to keep an eye on Mia, just in case her conversation with her friend didn't go as well as expected.He hadn't anticipated seeing her collapse.The moment he'd noticed her losing consciousness, his first instinct had been to rush out of the car and get to her. He was already moving when she suddenly regained consciousness. It had taken considerable effort to stop himself from going to her, especially when he'd seen how pale she looked, but he eventually forced himself to remain where he was. She was with her friend, and there was little reason to draw attention to himself.He and Jason had stayed until Mia and Julia entered the diner. On
Mia woke up to Julia leaning worriedly over her while at the same time, frantically calling an ambulance. "I don't know what happened!" She was saying in a panicked tone. "She just fainted!" Mia could hear the dispatcher asking for an address, and just as Julia was about to give it, she reached out and tugged at her hand. "I'm okay." Julia's eyes widened and her phone almost fell out of her grasp. "Mia!" "Ma'am?" The dispatcher was saying through the phone. “Oh my God!” Julia exclaimed, turning her attention back to Mia. “You're awake! Are you alright? How do you feel? Can you hear me properly?”Mia blinked several times, trying to clear the lingering haze in her vision. She was still on the ground in front of the company building, with Julia kneeling beside her. For a moment, she couldn't quite remember what had happened, but the sight of Julia's frightened face brought everything back to her."I'm okay. Don't call an ambulance," Mia said, her voice weaker than she intended."B
Mia was exhausted. She'd barely escaped having to answer Julia's question that morning by claiming Ezra was waiting for her and that she had taken much more time than expected. During lunch break, she hadn't dared go down to the cafeteria for fear that Julia would squeeze every ounce of information out of her.It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Julia the truth. She simply had no idea where to begin or how to explain something that even she was still struggling to understand.By the time work ended, hunger had begun to gnaw at her stomach, and a strange weakness had settled over her body. She packed her things and took the elevator downstairs, intending to call a cab. She was too lightheaded to trust herself behind the wheel, and besides, she had no intention of going home with Ezra.The workday was over now and after having skipped lunch, Mia was hungry and a bit dizzy. She took the elevator downstairs and as she walked towards the exit, took out her phone to call a cab. Since sh
Mia married another man?! Upon hearing this piece of juicy news, the eyes of the people around them widened dramatically. They exchanged startled glances, then tried to remain as quiet as possible so as not to disrupt the unfolding drama. Mia was considered by most of her coworkers to be an angel. She was kind, humble, modest, and she rarely got involved in conflicts. When the news that Ethan was having a fling with Melissa spread, mostly everyone pitied Mia and felt that she wasn't deserving of a man that could betray her so carelessly. Yet now they were hearing something entirely different. Had Mia actually ended the relationship first and married another man? And if so, who was he? The questions were practically written on their faces.At Zara's words, Julia's anger faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She refused to believe it. It was obvious Zara was just saying that to throw her off. Mia was her best friend, and it was impossible for her to get married without Jul
Ezra's head was still down to his work when a single knock sounded at the door. It was pushed open, and someone entered."You took your time. Get me a cup of coffee and then organize your desk. Be quicker this time." He said without lifting his head."It's me," said a voice that definitely didn't belong to Mia. Ezra looked up just as Jason set down a cup of coffee in front of him. "Mm." He kept a straight face, his expression not having the slightest change after mistaking Jason for Mia. "You brought in Mrs Grey as your secretary?" Jason asked. Ezra nodded once. "Is...that wise?" Jason asked carefully. Ezra almost looked up to be sure it was really Jason talking. Why did he and Mia ask the exact same question? "What's unwise about it?" Ezra asked. "One of the reasons you prefer this office is because it's relatively private," Jason said. "Do you think it's a good idea to let her in the space? What if she finds out..." He trailed off meaningfully. Ezra set his pen down, leanin
"Baby, I missed you." Both the words and the kiss were enough to make everyone on that floor freeze. Mia could feel the eyes on her, their incredulity almost as palpable as the silence that had fallen over the hallway. While she and Ethan had made sure to keep their work and love life separate, they hadn't exactly hidden the fact that they were together. Most of their colleagues knew they were engaged, and some had even congratulated them on their upcoming wedding when they'd noticed the ring on Mia's finger.Now, less than ten minutes after news of Ethan's affair with Melissa had begun circulating, another woman had appeared, thrown herself into his arms, and kissed him as though she had every right to do so.The workers exchanged bewildered glances. Some looked at Ethan, others at Mia, and a few seemed to be struggling to contain their excitement. They had come to work expecting an ordinary day, not a scandal that kept getting worse with every passing minute.What was this, this w
