Mia grabbed the tote bag and turned, facing Timothy. "I'm totally fine anyways. I was just too tired and my blood sugar level was low."His eyes darkened and he stood. "I'll give you a ride.""No, thank you. I can take a cab home. We're heading in different directions. I've troubled you enough. You've taken me to the hospital. How could I let you drive me home again? It's fine, really."The distance she intended to put displeased him. "Are you afraid that someone might misunderstand something after seeing you taking my car?"Mia couldn't understand how he came to that conclusion. "You're the one misunderstanding here. I simply don't want to waste your precious time, Mr. Barrett."Having said that, she left the room. After barely taking a few steps, she could hear steady footsteps behind her.Mia entered the elevator and that bastard followed along. Due to the little space, they stood very close to each other.The elevator stopped at the next floor and the people filled the space

The dismissal notice did fluster the old lady, but she soon regained her composure. "Son, don't be a scaredy cat. "You're a top scholar with capabilities. You'll be able to work as a higher-up in another company too."That earned a cold snort from Timothy. "Don't insult the higher-ups with his ordinary abilities."He then left with Mia following behind him. She cast a backward glance at the fighting mother and son, feeling light-hearted.Judging from the old lady's bold tone, she might be used to be the oppressing party all the time. If her son had controlled her temper, she wouldn't have acted that way, which left Mia with one conclusion—the man usually acted the same as the old lady did.Perhaps, there could be a number of subordinates he had picked on. Now that he was dismissed, Mia didn't feel a tinge of pity for him at all.Mia faced forward only to realize that Timothy was waiting for her. "Do you think that my actions were too much?"She didn't know how to respond to t

"Sorry for making you worried, Jason.""Don't be silly. It's fine as long as you're not hurt. Although I do hate that Timothy guy, it's fortunate that he was by your side. "Mia, you don't have to take everything upon yourself anymore. You have us, your family."A smile played along Mia's lips. "I know, but what's happening recently is a special case. I'd like to finish my credit hours to graduate from college. I'm working hard so that I can live in Nord City with you guys."Jason wasn't foreign to her decision as Dominic was busy lately because of this.Jason glanced at her. "Mia, when are you going to tell Dominic and others about your relationship with Timothy?""After we go to Nord City. I fear Dominic might confront Timothy for me. I'm going to leave anyway, so there's no need to cause another unnecessary trouble. I hope Dominic won't be mad at me for lying.""He won't. When the day comes, I have something to tell you too."After a discussion, the Lane brothers decided to

Every second was gold to Mia now.She went on to practice her piece, wishing to make up for her past regret. The song reminded her of the orphanage.Snippets of memories from the place only came to her when she played piano.Aside from forgetting about the orphanage, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten someone, someone important to her.The practice session continued for a while as she walked down memory lane at the same time.Right then, a woman with short hair showed up, scanning the area with eyes of scrutiny.Mia raised her head and asked, "Hi there, anything I can help you with?""Hi, I'm from the Literature Department and writing is my interest. I'd like to write a virtuoso as the female lead, so I'm looking around for inspiration. "I don't know anyone from the Music School and I don't dare to approach any one of them. But you caught my eye a few times. You're not from the Music School, are you? Are you Mia Bowen?""That's me. Come in, have a seat," Mia offer

"Okay. Don't be mad, Mrs. Barrett. I believe that the divorce agreement has pulled her senses back." After saying that, Maya intentionally cast a triumphant glance at Mia. Maya believed that there had to be someone to teach Mia a lesson, but this was not the end.When the music show started, something else prepared for Mia.Mia clucked her tongue. She thought of discarding the divorce agreement, but the idea was immediately brushed off by the possibility of someone reading the content.In the end, she kept it in her tote bag.Honestly, Timothy's property didn't interest her at all. She said it that way simply because she didn't want to see their gloating expressions.Spinning around, Mia continued her inspection to ensure nothing was wrong with the decorations in the hall.After all, the credits from this event were important to her. Soon, the musicians arrived.She recentered her focus upon Anthony's arrival, fearing that the fussy man would pick on her at this crucial mome
