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

Sarah was born as an artist and. musician. She had a great talent for art, but ever since her husband passed away, she lost her interest in everything.However, she could see the expectation and eagerness in her daughter's eyes and couldn't bear to say no to her.Patiently, Sarah talked with Miya and suggested a few things that could be changed. 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? I was just about to take Sarah out for a little walk before bed. Lying in bed for too long isn't good for the body nor the mind, byou see.""Right. Shall I take her?" Miya asked."Sure." The nurse said good night to them and left.Miya took Sarah's arm, and slowly they took the lift and went up to the rooftop garden. The moon shone gently tonight."Mum, you know, I've always loved our little garden. You are the best gardener l know." Miya said cheerfully.Sarah nodded with a smile, yet

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

However, her husband wasn't the most generous sort and didn't like Rebecca going shopping. The only time he would buy her presents like jewelry were on her birthday, Christmas, and their anniversary day. Rebecca wasn't pleased with it all.On hearing that Tiffany was enjoying herself shopping, spending her grandson's money, she was even more upset.As expected, Rebecca said angrily, "Has hè forgotten his grandma?! Huh! Now that he's got money”. Miya comforted gently, "Don't be upset, please, Rebecca. I'm sure he will think of you later."Rebecca heaved a sigh and said in a pretentious tone, "Miya, you are such a good girl. You wereso nice to me. You rarely spent money on yourself, but would buy me lots of presents. It's such a shame that you and Luke.."Brianina sneered quietly and said, "Ah, don't feel sorry, please. I'm grateful that Luke broke up withme actually, or would not be with Xenon now.""Xenon?"Yes. I'm married to Xenon Uba.""Xenon Uba! My gosh. That's wonderful! You

"Don't go to see anyone from the Johnson again, especially that asshole," Xenon said sternly. "I needed to find proof..." "I got it six hours ago," Xenon said. "Huh?" Miya exclaimed in disbelief. "How?" "Easy. I hired a gorgeous woman to seduce him. She got him drunk and found the deleted photos in his phone." "Impressive." Miya heaved a sigh. "It took me the whole day. I've even spent seven thousand dollars to please his grandmother to get her to trust me." "Aren't you stupid?" Xenon mocked. "I am." Miya muttered, then timidly, she added, "Is it possible that I can have the money reimbursed?" "Impossible." "But I did it only because I wanted to help you." "To help me? Whose fault is it that you had your design stolen, huh?" Miya was speechless. She was now worried about the payment of her mum's treatment next month's treatment. The money Xenon gave her wasn't even enough to cover the cost of the necklace she paid for Rebecca.Then, Xenon said with a cheeky smile, "Well, yo

Miya blushed and said, "It won't happen again." Xenon put the paper down, and they ate quietly. There was something on Miya's mind, and she finally plucked up the courage to ask. "Xenon, I've been wondering if you can help me delete those photos and videos. I'm worried that if my mum sees..." "You've done your shit, and now you want me to clean your a.s.s for you?" Xenon said rudely. "I..." Xenon threw an icy look at Miya, and she went quiet. She took a look at the beautifully prepared food on the table but got no appetite for it anymore. Xenon didn't speak again till he finished eating, taking his time. "I've moved your mum to a new place, a garden, quiet and safe. She can recover there while looking after plants. She will get paid. The few gardeners that work there will take care of her. I've also sent two bodyguards to keep her safe. There's no internet or TV, but there's a big study with books and a piano as well as an art studio."Miya listened and gazed at Xenon. She could
