The Arrangement Factor (ARRANGEMENT SERIES #1)

Chapter 70

Mia's POV

I was worried as Sarah has been staying in her room and not talking to me much nor she is eating properly. She is just crying or looking at ceiling whenever I visit her in her room.

I can't see her hurt like this.

I need to do something. So I decided to get her out of her room. I dragged her down the hall and decided to watch a movie to divert her mind away from the thoughts that were only making her sad.

"You decide the movie, and I'll be back with popcorn," I said and went to the kitchen to get some popcorn.

"I got the popcorn, so what are we watching?..." I asked walking into the hall but stopped in my tracks when I heard the news and saw the TV displaying Alex's pictures all over with different girls.

He is a Casanova.

He had already been with so many girls; the internet was full of his pictures.

No wonder he cheated on his wife.

He is such a bad person to force himself on his employees; how scared his female employees would have been of him.

I saw Sarah standing there in shock, so I quickly rushed to her, snatched the remote from her hand, and turned the TV off.

Sarah dropped on the sofa sobbing.

FUCK!

"Sarah..." I asked in a very low voice not sure what to say.

"She blames him?" She said after a long silence, looking at me straight in the eyes.

I nodded. I wanted to tell her that Alex could not do anything like this. I know he was with multiple girls in the past, and no matter what people say, he would never molest anyone. But she beat me to it.

"He could cheat on me, Mia, but would never do such a thing to a woman. I know him, Mia, he would never." Sarah tried to convince me, but I already knew the truth.

"I know, Sarah, I know. He would never do that. That bitch is lying just like she did the other day." I said, but Sarah stopped babbling upon hearing the mention of that day when she saw him kiss another woman.

'Shit, I should have kept my mouth shut,' I thought.

Sarah closed her eyes and started crying more. I saw Daniel entering the house, worried, and rushed to us, but I gestured for him to not get involved.

I took Sarah to her room and gave her medicine so that she would stop stressing and crying and would sleep.

I got out of her room, and Daniel was waiting on the sofa with the TV on without volume, looking at it with anger filled in his eyes.

I picked up the remote, turned the TV off again, and sat beside him. He put his arm over my shoulder, and I leaned on him to rest my head on his shoulder. "What do we do, Daniel? Everything is just messing up further."

"I know, baby, I know. I have been trying to find proof against that bitch," he sighed.

"Why are you not agreeing to give her compensation and shut her mouth because that was her plan all along, to get money?" I was confused as to why would they not accept the offer. It was not like it was a large sum of money that would affect them. Even if it was, does their peace and Sarah Alex's relationship matter less than that money?

"It's not about money, Mia," he said as if reading my thoughts.

"Then why would you not get rid of her, and all this would have never come to the news?"
