The chairman's question shocked Gerald. He walked to the sofa and slumped down, feeling helpless. “Sir, please listen to my explanation. I did ask my girlfriend to evaluate the design draft. But….” He had involved Eva in the decision making process, just to please her, thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, he didn’t expect the chairman to find out about it. Gerald broke out into a cold sweat, And didn’t dare deny his mistake. “Gerald, how could you make a mistake at this critical moment? After a lot of hard work, our company has finally managed to collaborate with the Preston group. Don’t you know the design department has been outstanding in the Preston group in recent years? I had planned to take advantage of this collaboration to develop the Brown Company into a domestic preeminent modest luxury brand. We can’t make any mistakes. Do you understand?” The chairman was furious. Gerald took a deep breath and said, “ please give me one last chance, I will undo all my mistakes

The next day, as soon as Mia walked into the company, Tiffany called her into the office. Mia swallowed nervously, she couldn’t tell if Tiffany believed what Eva had said yesterday. “Lind, your design was approved by the brown company. Go ahead and prepare for the project with them.” Tiffany spoke briskly, not even glancing up at Mia when she entered the office. “What? But they rejected and criticized my work yesterday. How could they change their mind overnight?” Mia’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Plus, what with the arrogant way Eva acted yesterday. Mia was under the impression that Tiffany had called inside her office to fire her. “Why are you so surprised? They’re not blind, anyone could see your design was way better than the second proposal. It’s obvious that the representative from the brown company didn’t know what they were talking about and only rejected your designs because she holds grudge against you. Anyways Mr Micheal contacted their chairman and now, Their CE

In a daze, Mia trudged back to her desk. “Brenda, Mr. Micheal wouldn’t make a huge fuss out of us employees, would he?” Mia whispered to her colleague, her voice riddled with anxiety. “Nahhh, I don’t think so. After all a boss should be be open minded. But maybe his capable of making mountains out of molehills. Who knows I can’t read minds” Brenda’s cryptic answers only served to make Mia even more uneasy. What if she had offended Micheal? The next day, when Mia rushed to work, she ran into Micheal at the gate of the company. Eyes darting around nervously, she managed to pluck up the courage to approach him anf apologize “Mr Micheal, excuse me. About what happened yesterday……” But before she could finish her sentence, when Micheal saw her approaching, he immediately turned around and rushed back inside the car. He shouted at the driver anxiously, “go get me out of here, hurry!” Mia’s steps faltered as she watched the car zoom off. She was speechless.When she sat down at her d

Mia got back home, and found the apartment empty. Hours ticked by and yet there was still no sign of Darren. Finally at eleven, Mia heard the sound of the door unlocking, she walked to the door subconsciously. When the door swung open, she met Darren’s gaze. The man looked exhausted, he put away the key and said curiously. “I thought you were exhausted from working overtime. Why aren’t you in bed yet?” “I got to take things easy today, anyways I cooked fish and sour sauce. Have you had dinner yet?” She should have been in bed by now. For some unknown reasons though, Mia had decided to wait for him or maybe the excitement of what she wanted to say to him. After a moments of silence, she asked hesitantly, “why are you so late today?” She had been working overtime, these past few days, so she was out of the apartment early and back late at night. She hasn’t seen Darren in almost three days.“Fish with sweet and sour sauce? That’s great, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.” Darren shrugge

Chapter Sixty-NineMia sat on the kitchen counter for a long moment after Darren left, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure he could hear it from his room.She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to steady her breath, but the warmth from his touch lingered stubbornly against her skin. His scent — clean, masculine, and maddeningly addictive — clung to her clothes like a stubborn perfume.“What’s wrong with me?” she muttered under her breath, hopping down from the counter. She wasn’t supposed to react like this to him. This marriage… it was supposed to be a transaction. Just an agreement. Nothing more.But the way his lips had moved against hers… the way his voice dropped when he was close… every bit of her resolve felt like it was melting away.She shook her head sharply, grabbing the plate of sweet and sour fish from the microwave and placing it in the fridge. She needed to distract herself before she did something foolish.Meanwhile, Darren leaned against his bedroom door, his s
