The man leaned back in his chair lazily, his legs stretched out on the. desk, crossed, a cigarette in between his left forefinger and middle finger, in a casual light denim shirt, its sleeves halfway up.He looked slightly younger than Xenon and resembled him a bit, specializing his brows and eyes. Yet Xenon carried an air of authority. and appeared cold and distant, while this man was more of the playful sort. There was a certain feminine look about him that one might naively think him an easy-going and amiable person.When he met Miya's gaze, Miya saw the sharpness in his eyes and realized that she should be cautious."Sit." The man spoke, his eyes fixed upon Miya. Miya sat down. "You are..." she muttered."Who do you think l am?" the man asked."Jameson Uba?""Right." Jameson retreated his legs and leaned forward, placing his elbows on the desk."May I ask why you want to meet me?""I want you to work for me,"Jameson said clearly. "To work for you? But I'm just a secretary with ze

"Huh?" Miya found it senseless."But then everyone will know. Are you sure I should leave early ?"Xenon said impatiently, "My time is more important than yours.""Yes, of course. But isn't it easier if I take a taxi or...""Don't cross me." Xenon snapped.Miya shook her head in confusion. "l just thought you didn't want people to know about our relationship.""The staff and strangers don't need to know, but my family and relatives do. If they find out, let them."Miya decided to leave it be. Whatever he says. She thought. I shall not argue with him. Pointless."Right." Miya compromised."How are you liking your job?" Xenon changed the subject. "It's not bad.""Tell me the truth," Xenon demanded."It is not bad. I have a lot of free time for myself.""What do you do with it?""Just checking some new design works about interior decoration and architecture. It's interesting."Xenon was rather surprised to hear so. He thought he could bore her by not assigning her any work soon that she

Xenon decided to help Miya when they first met merely because he thought she looked like Sol Keaton, but as he got to know her a bit better, he realized that Miya reminded him more of the little girl, the angel.Miya breathed heavily, looking at Xenon, not knowing what to do or what to say anymore."Get up and get out of my room." Xenon got off her and said coldly."What's between us?" Miya asked, lying on the bed still. She bit her lips, looking at Xenon with tearful eyes."Nothing. I purchased you. You are a toy. What else do you think you are?" Xenon sneered."Xenon Uba, you can have any woman you want. Why did you do that to me? Don't you find it..."Miya wanted to say 'disgusting,' but she thoughtbetter off and rephrased, "Don't you think you deserve better?"Xenon glared at her. "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it. You were moaning aloud." He got up and walked to the bathroom. "Ask the maid to come and change the beddings. Don't forget to take the pills."Miya heard the bathroom

She wiped the tears, cleaned off her face, and walked into the bathroom to re-apply some make-up to help disguise her. tiredness. Yet, it didn't help much.As she walked out of the bathroom, disheartened, she aight a glimpse of a familiar figure standing on the stairs by the fire door.She knitted her brows. It was. Jameson Uba, leaning one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket. He was looking out of the window absent-mindedly.A young and slim girl wearing sunglasses was standing next to him. She seemed to be speaking to him, but Jameson didn't seem interested. Suddenly, Miya recognized the girl. isn't she Sophia Moore?! Daughter of the American Mafia boss and younger sister of Jake Moore, who is said to be the best looking man of the year.As soon as Miya recognized them, she looked away, hoping to sneak away. I'd better stay away from these two! She thought. However, she wasn't quick enough. "Isn't that my sister-in-law? Why? Are you running away? Do Mrs. Moore and I frigh

His breathing, as well as his words, made Miya blush. She felt a sense of pleasure and embarrassment. Levi and the bodyguards must have heard! She thought.Miya buried her face on his chest, too embarrassed to look at others. In fact, no one was looking at them at all. They were either looking up at the ceiling or down on the floor.They knew well enough when not to interfere. Xenon grabbed Miya's chin and lifted her face up, "I still remember clearly what happened this morning. You are the very first person who has the guts to confront me and speak to me like that."To her own surprise, Miya replied, "What about those that went behind your back?" She regretted it as soon as she said it.Xenon's face turned stern, then he sneered, "Ha-ha. Dead." He said briefly. It sent a shiver down Miya's spine."Thanks for sparing me," Miya said timidly. The door opened, and she scurried away. "Have a nice day." She hurried back to her seat, where she felt the safest.As usual, all the other secre
