Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 539

Three days after leaving Sarah's... that was so long ago.

She couldn't imagine how Mia had endured, but the raw marks on her arms told the story.

Sarah frowned at Mia's scarred arms. "You silly girl. Doesn't it hurt?"

Mia shook her head. "My mind's so chaotic then, I don't even remember doing it. It's like a nightmare - I just wake up and find the scratches."

"What kind of nightmare?" Sarah asked worriedly.

"Someone trying to grab me, saying they'll drink my blood, eat my flesh. I'm so scared."

Sarah knew these casual descriptions masked Mia's reality - waking up screaming, probably crying herself hoarse.

Mia's shoulders trembled as she spoke.

"Mia, stop. That's enough," Sarah cut in quickly.

"Sarah, can you help me?" She buried herself in Sarah's embrace.

"Of course I will." Sarah patted her shoulder and stroked her forehead.

Since she'd come under the pretense of therapy, Mia needed to get to her therapist's office.

In the car, she looked back at Sarah longingly. "I'll come see you again soon."

Meanwhile, Zachary was in his office, watching the Reynolds Group stock fluctuations. The recent market volatility had finally stabilized.

His assistant knocked hesitantly. "Mr. Reynolds, Miss Wilson would like to have dinner with you tonight."

Zachary frowned, glancing at the Wilson Industries stock movement, but nodded.

"Miss, who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"

Sarah paused. "Zachary Reynolds. No appointment."

The receptionist led her to the waiting area. "Ma'am, you can't see Mr. Reynolds without an appointment. He's in meetings anyway."

Besides, it was a board meeting - she wouldn't dare interrupt for anything.

Sizing up Sarah suspiciously, she added, "May I ask your business with Mr. Reynolds? If it's not too personal, I could pass along a message."

"It's personal," Sarah replied coldly.

The receptionist's expression cooled at her tone. "Miss, perhaps you should come back later. Mr. Reynolds is busy."

Sarah looked up at the receptionist, meeting her disdainful gaze as she pulled out her phone and dialed.
