Chapter 27: "Did that jerk come to see you?",

Wen Group.

Alex stood near the Glass window that made him look cold and distant. He felt like a sculpture as he turned his head to look at the person in his office.

"Why are you here? Haven't I fulfilled your request?", Alex spoke as his eyes carried the darkness he always carried.

"Alex, I'm old and tired...Do you really think I don't know about you both? Although a married couple...Haven't you seen her properly or had a date together with her?", Old Wen spoke as he stared at Alex in disappointment.

"Grandpa...I'm busy enough at the moment.", Alex spoke as he massaged his brows.

"Alex...are you gonna be this way? Then why did you agree to this marriage?", Old Wen stood up in anger as he stared at his grandson who looked colder and colder.

"To survive in my world she has to be dead from inside first. That girl is still hung up by the death of her friend...do you think a glass princess is really suitable to be my wife?", Alex spoke as he stared at his grandfather in the eyes.

Old Wen knew how tough it will be if people knew Alex has a weakness. Old Wen is also aware of the world he lives in.

"Alex...Mia is not what you think. She is not a glass princess...she is made of diamond. One day you know her value...I hope you'd beg her for forgiveness.", Old Wen spoke as he walked out of the office.

Alex turned towards the glass window as he stared at the view in silence. The door was knocked as Rio walked in with a file.

"Boss the files you've asked for have arrived...the base is undergoing the shift and Kp has taken the charge and he is now Officially in charge of Rogers too.", Rio spoke as Alex nodded.

Seeing that Alex was checking out the files...Rio left the room.

Alex opened the files as he stared at the contracts.

Meanwhile.

Wayside.

Ann entered the wayside as she parked her car and walked into the house.

"You are here.", Mia smiled as she stood up from the sofa.

"Wahh...even though I came here before...I can't help but admire this place. Like people say it's really heaven.", Ann spoke as she walked toward Mia.

"Young Madam I hope you take some rest.", Leni was against Mia who wanna go out.

"Sis leni, I will be back soon. I will come by the time Jake wakes up.", Mia tried to convince her.

"Alright then, people don't stress yourself.", Leni gave up and could only warn her to be more careful.

"Aren't I in my makeup...don't worry.", Mia spoke as she waved Leni goodbye.

Although Leni felt bad for Mia who covered her face...she understood that her traumas played a more important part in it. It's not that Mia can't take off the makeup...she mustn't have been daring enough. Leni felt bad that although she was married Mia had to be a stranger and a victim.

"Did that jerk come to see you?", Ann spoke as she started the car.

"Don't call him that...he must be busy...", Before Mia could complete her sentence Ann stopped her car with a sudden brake.

"Wahh...that jerk has crossed all the borders to call him a human. I understand even it's a loveless marriage...can't he even spare a minute to come and check at you? He did sign the certificate right?", Ann felt the anger on behalf of Mia.

"Ann I already feel thankful and sorry for him...if he...", Mia felt emotions swelling up inside her.

Seeing Mia's depressed face.

"Alright forget all jerks...I'm RUDI and you are ONE from this moment on.", Ann spoke as Mia smiled at her, even when her heart is hurting she knew what she has now was not that came with willingness.

They reached the SOUL studio.

Ann parked inside the cellar to avoid any news. They walked out as they saw Julia waiting for them.

"Hello, Boss...Hello Sister Mia.", Julia greeted them with all smiles.

"It's been so long.", Mia spoke as Julia smiled like a kid.

"Seeing Sister Mia after long makes me happy. I'm blessed to know ONE in real life.", Julia smiled as she hugged Mia.

"*Cough* *cough* Wipe your saliva.", Ann spoke in a mocking voice.

Julia immediately touch her lips to realize Ann was teasing her.

"Boss why would you always trick me.", Julia pouted.

"Because it's fun.", Julia pouted as she walked towards the elevator that connected to Ann's office.

"Ms.Myra is here...She is waiting in your office.", Julia spoke.

"Alright let's go faster then.", Ann spoke as they entered the elevator.

Upstairs.

The studio was not a big one like Wen group or Chen's it was a 2-storeyed building with 3 employees along with Julia, Ann, and Mia.

One was Mist, A man in his 30's who dealt with PR; Rocky, A man in his late 20's who dealt with publishing; and then Kate, A woman in 30's who dealt with Marketing.

The company kept the non-disclosure agreement and maintained the secret of One. The three employees are waiting along with Myra to welcome the trio.

Ann's Office.

"Is it okay for One to show up like this?", Myra had a sudden thought as she questioned Kate.

"I think this is the first time One took such a step. We all met her after 6 months of joining. She must believe you to let you see her in person.", Rocky smiled and replied.

Myra felt good as she waited for the elevator doors to open.

The doors opened as she saw trio walking towards them. Seeing Anna and the woman beside Myra eyes widened.

'Was she seeing correct? Or her eyes are playing tricks?', still she gained her messy thoughts and smiled as she tried to understand the situation.

"Hello Brother Mist and Brother Rocky, Sister Kate it's been a while.", Ann spoke as all smiled and greeted back.

"Hello Brother Mist, Sister Kate and Brother Rocky.", Mia also bowed.

"Boss if everything is okay...I wish that you could check some documents and discuss with team.", Julia spoke.

"Ms.Myra may I have a chat with you in my Office?", Mia spoke as Rocky,Mist,Kate and Julia stared at her like ghost. Never did they saw her striking the conversation first.

"Sure.", Myra spoke as Mia started walking along with her.
