At noon, Miya had knocked at his office door twice, asking if he would like tea or a massage, but Xenon refused. He's so moody. I just can't understand. She thought. I might as well make good use of the time and focus on my design then.Miya majored in interior design at university and self-learned jewelry design for some time. Now that she had the chance to realize her dream through the help of The Uba Corporation, she knew she had to learn more about jewelry design.She made herself a cup of coffee, put her headphones on, and listened to Kate Bush while going through The Collection of Top Jewel Design. *** With extra effort, Miya prepared dinner, hoping to cheer Xenon up. However, Xenon sat by the table with a sulking face and wouldn't even take a look at Miya despite the beautifully presented food. Miya spoke to him with a smile, but he made no reply. Frustrated, Miya cursed silently, he's so moody and childish! I have spent extra time preparing dinner for him, and he won't eve

It was a young girl, probably eighteen years old, in a white dress, with long straight hair. She was smiling sweetly. She's like a fairy. Beautiful and innocent. Miya thought. She was shocked at how alike they looked as well as the unexpected feeling of jealousy she had. She must be Sol.To divert her thought and feeling, she clicked open the browser, thinking of having a look at the news. To her dismay, pictures and videos of her were all over the front page.They accused her as a shameless s.l.u.t; that her mother had a heart attack at finding out what she did, that she had no friends for her notorious reputation, that only those rich old men would use her for p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.Shit! Shit! Miya cursed angrily. Why the hell did he do that?! Asshole! And I'm trying to forgive him! Obviously, Luke was determined to bring her down. Angered and frustrated, Miya rushed to the bathroom, thinking of asking Xenon for help, only to see the door ajar and Xenon n.a.k.e.d in the shower. The tw

On hearing so and recalling the ridiculous accusation in the news, Miya said with determination, "I'd love to take the challenge." "Great." Sally smiled. "But I'm not sure I can give you a design you like." "I'm willing to take the risk." Then Xenon added, "I will take the responsibility." Miya looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you." She said sincerely to both Sally and Xenon. *** Feeling supported, Miya had much more confidence. She observed Sally's attire and manner while dining and asked a few questions about her and her husband casually to get to know what they liked. Before they parted, Sally handed Miya a file with some doc.u.ments related to the design of the pendant for reference.Xenon and Miya went back to the office, and just as Miya sat back down by her desk, Levi came over. He spoke quietly but seriously, "Mrs. Miya Uba, Streep Crystal is one of the four biggest companies in the jewelry industry. Mrs. Sally Streep is no doubt a very important client. Even Rare

Miya and Levi looked at each other, both wondering why Xenon was annoyed and followed him. Xenon was walking fast, and Miya had to hurry to keep up. She stumbled as she rushed into the lift, and reluctantly, Xenon held her arm to help her balance. "Such an ungrateful thing." He said. Huh? Miya was utterly confused. Have I said anything improper? I don't think so. What's he angry about?Five days later, Xenon said to Miya after work, "We are meeting Mrs. Streep for dinner." He still looked annoyed. In fact, he had hardly talked to Miya in the past days.They met at the same French café. Sally greeted them with a warm smile. After the waiter took their order, Miya took out a few drawings of the design from her bag and handed them to Sally. She watched and waited nervously as Sally went through the drawings and talked to Xenon in French. Though Miya had self-studied a bit of French when she was still in University, she had forgotten most of it. She tried to concentrate on guessing what

They signed the contract there and then before they parted. Sally gave Miya a gentle hug and said, good night. Miya had not expected that her sketches would have helped so much. As Levi said, Streep Crystal was a very important client. She heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Sally leave. *** Just as Miya and Xenon walked out of the café, Miya's phone rang. It was her mother. Miya hesitated. Could it be about the news? Has she seen it? Miya worried. "Hello, Mum." Silence. Miya knitted her brows. "Mum?" "Miya, I need to know the truth. What have you been up to lately?" Sarah asked. "I...err...I've got a job at The Uba Corporation, and I'm a jewelry designer now.""Tell me, have you done anything indiscreet with Xenon Uba? Miya, your father and I never expected you to be rich or famous, but we do hope you live an honest life with dignity."Miya could hear the anger in her mother's tone. Tears filled her eyes. She wanted to explain, but then she realized that there was nothin

Photos of Luke Johnson with various women during the time he was dating Miya were exposed and the fact that he had used Miya, then forsaken her and her sick mother to be with Tiffany Agabus, a more 'valuable' girlfriend and alliance, was also revealed. Miya then realized that that was what the phone calls Xenon made in the car were about. He had sorted it perfectly. *** He must have spent a lot of time and effort on it. Just to have those club managers verify and to make those dirty old men who had been bribed to clarify apologize to me, I wonder how much Xenon has done! And he has not mentioned anything! He sorted everything out, but he didn't even think of telling me until I asked him. Miya thought, and tears of gratitude filled her eyes. She couldn't help wondering again how different Luke and Xenon were. In the past years, Luke had sweet-talked her and made her do everything for him, but he had not done anything for Miya. Xenon was the opposite of Luke. He was economical with

The next morning when Miya was still in bed, she heard someone calling Xenon. It was Jacob, the young guy who didn't seem to like her much. She wondered what he was doing here so early in the morning, and feeling worried, she quickly got up to get dressed. "Miya, are you up?" Xenon knocked at her door. "Yep, I'm just getting dressed." "Wear something sporty," Xenon said. "Huh?" Why? Miya wondered, but she asked no questions and simply obeyed. When she came out, she saw Xenon and Jacob chatting casually."Morning, Miya. Xenon and I are going for a morning jog. Are you coming with us?" Jacob said. Jogging in the morning? Is that why he's here so early? Miya felt speechless. "I think I will pass. I don't really like exercising. Enjoy." Miya replied.Jacob grabbed Xenon's hand and said, "Alright, Xenon, let's go." Xenon tapped Jacob's hand off and said to Miya, "Come. Follow us."Miya heaved a sigh. "Xenon, I really don't like it, and I won't be able to catch up with you guys." "

Frustrated and angered, Miya gave him a nudge on his c.h.e.s.t, but Jacob simply grunted and went on chopping while holding Miya's hand. Angrily, Miya stomped on his foot, and somehow she lost balance and flipped the knife sideward and cut Jacob's finger. To Miya's surprise, Jacob deliberately cut it deeper as he was still holding Miya's hand. It was dripping blood instantly. Miya panicked and quickly took him over to the sink and ran water down his finger. The cut was so deep that the sink was soon dyed with blood. Miya panicked. Holding his finger tight, she led Jacob to the living room and asked the maid to get the first aid box, thinking of bandaging it now and take him to the hospital afterward.Just then, Xenon had just finished a phone call and came in to see Miya holding Jacob's bloody hand anxiously. Angered, he marched over and pulled Miya aside. Seeing the blood on Jacob's hand and the floor, he frowned. "How the hell did you cut your finger?!" He asked worriedly.Jacob
