...
After school in the evening, Desmond came to pick her up.
He came here directly from his company by a business car.
The car window was half-open. He beckoned her by curling his finger with his elbows against the car window. Mia quickly ran over.
Looking at her skillfully getting into the car, Aubree sighed with admiration.
At noon, her handsome brother came to see her, and at night, such a gorgeous husband came to pick her up.
She was the winner of life!
The driver and the secretary were there in the car.
After the secretary hung up the phone, his face was full of worry.
Desmond leaned over and asked lazily, "Did things go wrong?"
"Yes." The secretary nodded and sighed. "I've taken the initiative to contact Windy Cartoon many times, but I didn't get any positive response. Besides, their editor kept his lips buttoned, so I failed to get any inside news from him. He said that the personal information about the author was confidential according to the contract. I guess it's impossible for us to find the author Twilight, let alone find a way to persuade her to sell the copyright to us..."
In the end, he couldn't help complaining. "Alas, it's too difficult to deal with the author!"
Mia, hearing this, was speechless.
Desmond nodded.
Since Mia was still in the car, Desmond didn't want to talk about work anymore. He changed the topic and turned to poke the cartoon pendant hanging on her little bag.
He asked, "Where did this come from?"
The pendant was a palm-sized doll, the Pooh Bear.
He clearly remembered no pendant was hanging on her school bag when she left home this morning.
He answered with a smile, "It's from my brother. He came to see me at school at noon. We had a meal together. The clerk sent us a small gift when he paid the bill. Then he tied it onto my bag!"
His eyes narrowed as he snorted. "So ugly!"
"Is that so?" She douted it because she thought it very cute.
...
His face darkened as he said in a disdainful tone, "I'll take this ugly thing!"
After that, he tore off the pendant.
All right. Mia had to accept the result.
The commercial car was some distance away from the school. Mia was a little hungry and was looking forward to having dinner. "What shall we eat for dinner?"
Desmond said sourly, "Chaffy dish!"
In the end, they ate what he'd like to have.
When they returned home in the evening, it was still early. Mia went to the study with her laptop.
She planned to sort out the sketches on the computer. Besides, she had to deal with the coming exams before the winter holiday.
While she was busy dealing with her things, Desmond also entered the study.
Mia thought he was also here to work, but he didn't. Instead, he went straight to her, pushing the things on the desk aside and then placing her on it.
He kissed affectionately.
It was too late for her to put him away, so she simply accepted this kiss in a daze.
When they had dinner in the evening, she felt that he was a little strange. It seemed that he wanted to make love with her vehemently, like what he had done the day when Dan returned from abroad.
His phone suddenly rang.
Desmond was a little irritated after being interrupted. He took out his phone, casually tossed the phone on the desk, and put it on speaker.
It was a strange number, and there came a female voice. "Mr. Chin—"
Mia felt it a little familiar.
He asked, "Who is it?"
"I'm Sonya." Hearing his indifferent tone, Sonya hesitated for a moment before answering him. After she introduced herself, she explained her purpose. "I heard that your company wanted to get the right of 'Magic Universe' and put it on screen. I have some personal connections with the author. If you agree to my terms, I'll help you..."
Desmond hung up before she could finish her words.
