"Then, go and work. And leave me alone." Xenon said sternly."Alright." Jacob pouted his lips. and left Xenon's office reluctantly.Jacob was bright and clever. He did his work well and efficiently, and usually with fun. He was rarely a serious person.It might seem to people that he never cared about his work but spent too much time having fun.The fact was that the departments that he was in the charge was all running well, and there had never been any problems since Jacob took over.That was the reason why he was assigned such an important position at an early age, and no one would ever judge or complain.Whatever he wanted to do, he did it well and fast.After leaving Xenon's office and feeling bored, Jacob wandered about and got to the floor where Jodie's office was.He happened to spot Jodie going into the lift carrying some documents. Jacob hurried and followed her in. He stood next to her and looked her up and down before he commented, "Hey, Jodie, aren't you a bit too boyish?

Xenon's face lit up at the sight of his lunch. He was pleased, and Miya was rather surprised to see a content smile on him. She couldn't help finding him charming. Feeling bashful, she put the plate down on the table and looked away.Xenon sat down and enjoyed his lunch. "You are quite a master at cooking and baking. You've got good taste in art." Xenon Commented suddenly."Thank you. I must have got it from my mum. She's an artist herself and very talented in lots of things.""Tell me about her.""Well, she's a gardener and created the most beautiful garden at home, I would say. She's a great cook as well, and she paints and. plays the piano really well." Miya said proudly, then she paused and added sadly, "or she used to. Since dad passed away and mum had a heart attack, everything changed."Xenon looked at Miya for a while but made no comment. When he had finished eating, he asked, "Do. you still want to be a designer?""Of course!" Miya exclaimed, and her face lit up with excite

"But even if I agreed to be your spy, he will surely suspect me if I just go and tell him now that I willwork for him.""Wait till he asks you again. Also, if he asks why you can just tell him that I threaten you with your mother's life and you hate me for that."Miya opened her eyes wide. How does he know my real thoughts? She wondered rather anxiously. I thought I had been hiding my real thoughts and emotions well.'Xenon, honey, please. I really can't be a spy. Please.." Miya put her arms around Xenon's neck and pleaded rather flirtatiously. She thought she should try a different strategy.Xenon frowned. "Don't give me that. You are just a pet."Miya pouted her lips and nodded. "I see. Ok, I will try my best."Xenon gave her a push and gestured that she should leave now.He leaned back in his seat and. watched Miya leave. With Miya's talent in cooking and design or art, as well as the fact that she looked like Sol, Xenon did want to keep Miya. However, he had to make sure that she

Tentatively, Levi suggested, "Mr. Xenon Uba, I thought that if she feels more respect from you,she will probably be more certain." Xenon sneered and gestured to Levi to leave.As usual, Xenon and Miya went back to Home for Sol after work. While Miya was busy cooking in the kitchen, Xenon was watching the news in the living room.Xenon's phone rang, and it was Jacob. "Hey, Xenon. What time are you coming? We are all here now.""I'm not going," Xenon said plainly.n"Xenon, you haven't been out since I can't remember when. Guess you are at home now? She surely knows how to keep you home!" Jacob complained.Xenon was at first annoyed by Jacob's comment, but as he watched Miya and thought about it, he suddenly realized that it was true that since he got married, he had lost interest in going out at night. He was actually content being home.Has she actually changed me?! He thought and hated the thought itself. No way! No one can change me, especially her! He suddenly got up and intended

"I haven't promised anything yet, but show me the draft when it's done, and I will talk with the board members," Xenon said, then he beckoned Miya over."Come, jump in."Miya shook her head and retreated. "I'm scared of water.""Scared? Why?""I had a terrible fever once when I was little. It was because I stayed outdoors playing with water in the cold winter. My parents said it took me almost one month to recover, and since then, they never allowed me to go into the water again."Xenon listened while recalling the scene when the little girl was trying to save him and fell into the water herself. "How old were you? And where was it?"Miya shook her head."I can't remember."Usually, people can remember what happened at about five years old. She must be too young then if she can't remember at all. The little girl that saved me was about eight or nine. It can't be her. Xenon thought and took a look at the corner of her left eye again.nNo. I remember the little girl has a mole there. But

Miya took notes, intending to work on it once she got home.Feeling tired and sleepy, Sarah yawned. The nurse came in and said with a smile. "How are you Miya?

A week later, the rings, earrings and necklaces designed by Miya and made by the world's top jewelers were displayed at the press conference. Jewelry suppliers, lovers, and designers all gathered to be part of this influential event.However, it wasn't a smooth event as expected.Rare Gem, a nationally renowned jewel company, had also presented the exact same rings of the same themes as the Uba Corporations at the same time.Instantly it was on the news all over the country and internationally. People talked and laughed.Ever since the Uba Corporation was established,especially in the past years when Xenon took over, there had never been any mistakes or trouble. And today, the Uba Corporation was making a joke of itself.Everyone stared at Xenon and Miya, waiting for their response. Levi whispered nervously, "Mrs. Miya Uba, you've ruined the reputation of our company."The company had been preparing carefully to get into the jewelry market. It was ready. The press conference was liv

Who can it be? I've only worked at home and at the office, and every time when I left my desk, I turned the computer off. I'm sure no one has been in my room at home either. Who is it?!She thought hard and suddenly, she recalled the night when she went to visit her mother at the hospital. They had gone out for a walk, and she left her laptop in the room. Luke! She thought and almost exclaimed. He said he had been to the roon and didn't see us. Can it be him that stole the draft?! But he's in the construction business. Why would he steal the draft and give it to Rare Gem? What good does it do to him?Miya couldn't understand. He and I have separated. Why would he do this to me? The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew, and she took out her phone and called Luke."What is it?" Luke asked plainly."Why did you do it?""What are you talking about?”"Thief! You stole my design.""I have no idea what you are talking about. Miya, I sincerely!feel sorry that I broke up with you,b
