*Locas*The person in front of me was... Was that Mia?Did she come out of Krell's office? There was so much commotion. It seemed like she was quite angry.Did that mean my chance had come?But... why was Mia's shirt collar loose? If it was lower, her chest could be seen!What was she doing? She was stuffing the shirt tail neatly back into her skirt, and she had hickeys on her neck. What had Krell done to her? She looked like those women who had just spent the night with me!When she was out of sight, anger burned uncontrollably in my belly. I suddenly pushed open the office door."Krell, what have you done to Mia!" I couldn't help but shout at Krell."None of your business." Two buttons on Krell's shirt were undone. His voice was hoarse. The guy looked to be in a bad mood.I recalled Mia's sad look just now, and my heart suddenly ached. I was always full of compassion for beautiful women, let alone Mia. D*mned Krell! He made Mia so sad."Krell, Mia is different from other women. You w
*Mia*I couldn't stand Krell and his smug words and I didn't like him looking down on me. I wanted to prove myself to him.My hand could still feel the sting of Krell's cheek. I realized it was useless to argue with Krell again and fled the office.I said inwardly, 'Resign! I have to resign! This place is not for me. I have to leave.'Although this might be very difficult, I had to leave Krell and this job. I respected myself and had to take this step so that I could live on my own terms.I didn't go to the office the next day. Instead, I asked Sofia to submit my resignation to Personnel.First of all, I had to rent a house, but I was so poor that even the house I was living in now was provided by Simon. It seemed absolutely impossible for me to find a space to rent so that I could open a clinic.Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.My fingers traced the crescent-shaped moon goddess necklace that I had treasured at the bottom of the box. It was the last thing my mother had left me. This
The sunlight shone in through the window and landed on Krell and Locas's faces. They both looked at me with bright eyes.I looked at their solemn expressions and earnest gazes and softened. After all, I couldn't keep dwelling on the past when two people of such noble status apologized to me so sincerely and helped me so passionately."Alright, then I'll forgive you. If you say or do anything disrespectful to me again, I'll really get pissed off," I pretended to be angry and said to them angrily.Locas laughed out loud. He patted my face gently. "Mia, you're so cute."Krell pushed his hand away. "Don't touch her. Have you forgotten what Mia just said? I think you just won't learn. Mia, let's chase him out."Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became animated.With everyone working together, my clinic quickly became clean and tidy.The largest room had a counter with a glass partition in the middle. It was decorated as a waiting room. We even set up a fish tank inside to kee
*Mia*I had to wait until I was feeling less afraid before I could slowly approach the gray wolf. It suddenly moved, looked up at me, and put one foot on mine. Among shifters, this was a universal move to show friendliness.I gently held the wolf's claw and a familiar scent floated over me. It was a medicinal herb called dipterocarpus from the distant east. According to Willard, it could clear a fever, detoxify poison, and refresh the mind. He often brewed this tea to drink. Therefore, over time, he started to smell of dipterocarpus."Willard! Are you Willard?" I asked.The gray wolf nodded weakly.Simon said, "Let's get him to bed."I thought about it. With his serious injuries, he couldn't move too much at the moment, or he would bleed more. There was only one way to stop the bleeding.At this moment, Simon's phone rang. After answering the call, he looked a little hesitant."Simon, do you need something?" I heard a stern voice on the other end of the phone. I figured it should be hi
*Mia*I was stunned. "What was Willard doing?"At first, he turned his head away from me. I thought he was asleep again, but just as I was about to leave, he took my hand.He slept fitfully, and in his sleep, he seemed to be fighting something fiercely. This worried me. I took his hand instead and called his name, trying to wake him from his nightmare.But he took my hand so hard that I lost my balance and fell onto him.Was he kissing me?His lips were so soft. He kissed me so gently. He cupped my face in one hand as if it were a treasure. His other hand slid down my shoulder to my back, roaming it.I heard him murmur softly, "Mia, Mia, mark me..."Upon hearing these words, Krell's stubborn expression suddenly appeared in my mind, and I instantly became sober.I hurriedly pushed Willard away. It definitely wasn't because of Krell. I said that he wasn't my mate, but I had no idea why I would think of him in such a situation.Willard's eyes were half-closed. His usually clear eyes were
I was still feeling a little nervous around him. Simon had been acting so strange recently. I couldn't help picking up his nervous energy every time I saw him.When he insisted that we needed to talk, the clinic was about to close. I told Willard to take it from there and then put on my coat, and left with Simon. I kept sensing a growing distance between us.He said that he wanted to talk to me. It just so happened that I wanted to make things clear to him as well.It was a little cold, and I was only wearing a thin trench coat. As a gust of wind blew over, a yellow leaf fell on me. I was so cold that I shivered. Immediately after, a warm coat was draped over me, and I saw Simon smiling at me.This was the Simon I knew. His warmth always came unexpectedly and made me feel warm from the bottom of my heart."Mia, come on, let's go eat first," he insisted. "You don't know how annoyed I get going to so many meetings.. At this moment, his eyebrows relaxed into a somewhat playful shape.My m
Fireworks in the SkyAs soon as he finished speaking, I followed his gaze and took in a dazzling display of fireworks blooming in the sky. The explosions against the velvety black sky drummed to the very beat of my heart. It was spectacular and colorful.I was moved to tears as I leaned into Simon. It made me feel like a princess. Sitting in the warm bubble of Simon's embrace, among the clouds I felt like a goddess, as well as the most honored woman in the world.When the fireworks dissipated, the drones were deployed. They formed words in the sky. "Mia, I love you."At this moment, Simon hugged me tighter and whispered those words in my ear, "Mia, I love you."The words were so pleasant to hear and also too heavy for me to bear.My heart beat erratically and my mind went blank. I didn't know what to do. I broke free from Simon and wanted to escape this fairytale of an illusion.However, he quickly pulled me back. His eyes were burning with flames that I had never seen before.He cuppe
*Mia*Locas was getting on my nerves and I decided that he was the person I hated the most right now.He looked at me with that condescending look like I was an idiot."I don't think you need to participate in that exchange meeting. It's just a meeting set up by swindlers. It's worthless other than swindling money from some ignorant people." Locas's hands were in his pockets as if he was some important figure, but his words cut like a knife.What did he mean? Was he implying that I was an idiot? Look at how sarcastic he sounded! Who would have thought that such words would come from the elegant Locas?"You... How could you slander me like this? I've learned a lot about antiques these past few days. I even went to classes when I was free. Willard accompanied me to these classes." If I was wrong, Willard would have stopped me."Willard, tell him, didn't you go to the classes with me? You even accompanied me to the meeting, right?" I could really use some backup.Willard smiled at me. "Ye
