When a Genius Makes a Mistake

****Completed, but under revision.**** ***SUPER SLOW BURN MATURE 18+*** After struggling her way through university, Mina Harlow, a top tier graduate (and literal genius), with the aspiration of lifting her family out of poverty, was still living in the slums, taking odd jobs to earn a living. All of her hard work had been for nothing and her life is cast into turmoil because she offended the wrong Miss from a prominent family. Desperate to for her next source of income, Mina aligns herself with the wrong people, and finds herself amid several conspiracies that keep becoming more and more confounded by misunderstandings. She is mistaken for a spy, by one of the most influential families in the country and held captive as the confusion, mishaps and misunderstandings build up all around her. Under the extreme circumstance, Mina is thrown into despair, hatred and love all that the same time, but will the experience break her or make her ‘better?’ (This story is set in a fictional, modern day patriarchal society on the brink of a shift public opinion on the 'role' of the woman.) Excerpt: "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm stupid," Mina replied. The man laughed sarcastically. "I disagree. I think you are a very smart girl." "Being smart does not mean you can not be stupid." Who told her she was a genius anyway? ***THIS IS AN ADULT STORY WITH AN ADULT THEME. THERE IS VIOLENCE AND IMPLIED VIOLENCE. THERE IS ROMANCE IN THIS STORY, BUT IT IS NOT EXACTLY A LOVE STORY. ***

Chapter 222: Worry

When Ian's eyes fell on Mina's beautiful face, he felt his heart race. She had obviously just come out of the shower and she was wearing a thin spaghetti strap top. Her hair was messily tied into a bun and her cleavage was on full display. She must have noticed his eyes travel from her hair, to her neck and below, because she immediately lifted the phone to capture her face only and Ian stifled his smile when he saw the flush on her face.

"What do you need my help with?" Ian asked, pretending to be looking away from the screen.

"I want you to help get that commercial I acted in pulled. I also want that recording of me singing gone. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I think it's causing unnecessary problems for me."

"Okay" Ian replied.

"Look, I know you don't like… wait. Did you say okay?" Mina asked.

"Yes. It's done," Ian said. He did not tell her that he had already instructed someone to do just that hours ago.

"Never mind," Mina said.

"It's already done," Ian responded.
