I want to go back so just get out of my way.” Mia said broken with anger and sadness. Seeing her red teary eyes, Darren looked at everyone in the living room. Then he gently grasped her wrist. “There’s no hurry.” He took Mia back into the living room. James put the bags on the table and opened them one after the other.

It doesn’t mean anything,” Lydia flashed a sweet smile, her eyes still fixed on the expensive gift placed on the table. “I don’t want to hear any explanation.” Darren looked at them indifferently. He was in no mood to listen to their stupid justification. Seeing that, James ran over and quickly packed everything and took the bags away. Darren didn’t say anything more. He held Mia’s hand and left Thomason's family villa. Lydia and Eva could not do anything but watch as the couple left them in the dust. Darren finally let go of Mia’s hand when they got outside. His face softened as he looked at her. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to see your parents?”Mia wanted to ask her adoptive parents for the money they had promised her, so she couldn’t take Darren with her. “I didn’t plan on visiting them in the first place” she lied. “ I happened to take this route, so I decided to drop

She picked up the resume that Mary had thrown away and went through the pages. “Mia seem like a promising candidate. She is better than all her peers. We can’t afford to loose such a talent. Due to your personal reasons against her.” Mary anxiously bit her lips “ why would I have anything against her?” She shrugged trying to sound indifferent. “There were many bad rumors about when we were at college. She isn’t as innocent as she seems. During her freshman year, Mia would roam around stealing other people’s boyfriends. I know her better than u guys. She has a bad reputation. We can’t afford to take the risk of recruiting her.”“Oh, I see. We trust your judgement lf that’s truly how she is, then you are right we can’t afford the risk.

Her heart was racing in her chest as she didn’t expect Darren to catch her staring at him. Darren stretched himself and walked to the kitchen. His tousled jet black hair made him look even more sexier. He opened the cupboard to get the softwares. His mother had raised him all by herself, a difficult fit for a single mother to perform. When Darren was a kid he had always helped his mother to do household chores. And Mia seemed to have awakened his old habits. After organising the magazines, Mia began to clean the bookshelf.

The man in the backseat put aside a stack of documents he had been Perusing. Then changed from his svelte, tailored suit to an old jacket. James twisted around to look at his boss who has been going through so much trouble travelling back-and-forth every day, “ you used to call me only once or twice a year Boss,” James pointed out, “ you have villas all over the city, you can just move into one of them with your wife. Why do you bother going to this dump every single day?”Darren threw him a cold gaze “you’ve been awfully talkative lately. Do you have so much time in your hands? If you have nothing better to do, you might as well clean up and tend to these other villas of mine.” James immediately shut up and looked away.
