Chapter 357
“Then delete it, right now.” Mia’s calm and indifferent tone stupefied Felix. The immediate request caught him off guard.
Their stare–off lasted for a moment until he turned to reach for his computer to delete the article.
The article went trending on the campus website. If it was there for another few days, word about it might even get out of campus ground.
If the public learned about his scandal with Mia, it could boost his business!
Things were finally working out ever since Mia started working for him. The studio performed way better than before.
If they got married and ran the studio together, they might be able to bring the career to a pinnacle!
While those calculations went on in his head, he deleted the article.
He quickly raised his head, looking at her. “Everything’s deleted. Will this do? Look, I know I wasn’t thinking straight in this. I was wrong. Don’t be angry.”
Mia refreshed the campus website page. The article was gone.
A sigh of relief escaped Mia before her eyes were on him again. “Felix, since things had gotten ugly today, I think it’s best I quit.”
“Don’t, Mia! I was wrong about today. You don’t have to quit.”
“I don’t want to come here anymore, Felix. Sorry.” Her stance was firm this time. It no longer felt right to work here anymore.
Her tone was calm. “I’ll forego the resignation letter since I’m not an official employee anyway. I think a word with you will do. I’ll figure things out after my graduation.
“Mia, I know that you’re angry at me. This position will be always open for you. You can come to work officially after graduation. You’re always one of us.”
“We’ll see when the time comes. I should get going.” Mia didn’t want to stay for any minute longer.
Returning to her table, she packed up her stuff and assigned her orders to her colleagues.
One of them asked carefully, “Mia, are you quitting?”
“Yes. That was the plan from the beginning. I didn’t quit only because I had outstanding orders. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions.” She then left the studio with her stuff.

Stepping out of the studio, she felt the weight lifting off her chest.
Mia headed back to her college and went to the study hall. An annoyed Gina rushed up to her.” Felix has crossed the line! How could he spread a rumor?
Mia, you should hold him accountable for it. Don’t let him go this easily!”
“If I do that, things might get big. We won’t be able to bring him down in any way. Women are always the victims when it comes to scandals.
“He’s held high in repute on campus, too. Things won’t go as we wish it to be. This is the best that can be done.”
