Mia was determined to settle the score with that troublesome Timothy at ater time!


    With ude finally driving away, Mia let out a sigh of relief.


    ncing toward the nearby restaurant, she couldn’t help but think about Timothy’s strange behavior


    just


    moments ago, which left her puzzled.


    What exactly did Timothy want to say earlier?


    After a moment of contemtion, Mia felt her mind swirling with thoughts. Nheless, she eventually


    managed to gather herself, determined not to let Timothy’s words shake her.


    Upon returning home, Mia went straight to bed.


    Lately, she had been experiencing growing fatigue, especially as her bump started growing day by day.


    She could already feel difort when bending or squatting down.


    Gently touching her abdomen, Mia realized she needed to start making arrangements to depart as


    soon


    as possible.


    The following day, Mia headed to campus for her scheduled sses.


    After her lectures, Riley approached Mia. “Mia, Mr. Shaw asked to see you in his office. He said he has


    something to discuss with you.”


    Mia couldn’t shake off the embarrassment from the previous night’s unfinished dinner. She wondered


    why Kennedy wanted to see her.


    Perhaps he wanted to caution her against spreading news of her divorce.


    It dawned on Mia that Kennedy’s kindness toward her might be due to knowing about her rtionship


    with Timothy.


    Confused, Mia entered Kennedy’s office. As she pushed the door open, Mia was greeted by Kennedy’s


    enthusiastic voice, “Mia, you’re here! Please, take a seat.


    “I’ve asked you toe because I have some exciting news. Following your no performance


    yesterday, the professors at our Music School were deeply impressed.


    “They’re suggesting that you consider adding another major. What do you think?”

    “Are you proposing that I should add piano as another major?”


    “Yes, that’s correct. You won’t need to worry about the logistics. The professors will handle everything


    for you.


    “After all, the university is dedicated to nurturing talented students like yourself. How do you feel about


    this opportunity?”


    Mia was surprised by the news. While she was genuinely interested in no, she didn’t think her talent


    was substantial enough to merit such special treatment from the college.


    The whole situation felt a bit strange to her.


    For some reason, Mia’s thoughts drifted to Timothy.


    After a moment of consideration, she replied, “Mr. Shaw, I appreciate the offer, but I’m close to finishing


    the credits for my current major, and I don’t n to add another one at the moment.”


    “Mia, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”


    “I’ve made up my mind.”


    After Mia declined, Kennedy didn’t press the matter further. Mia stood up and walked out of the office.


    However, as soon as she was out of sight, Kennedy promptly dialed Heath’s number.


    “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I suggested to Mia that she consider pursuing a music major,


    but she declined because she wasn’t interested. Could you please pass this on to Mr. Barrett?”


    Upon hearing this, Heath’s expression darkened.


    Timothy’s early arrival at the office, coupled with his sour demeanor and harsh reprimands during the


    meeting, had already dampened the spirits of the entire senior management team.


    Certainly, Mia’s refusal to enroll in the Music School would only amplify Timothy’s already fiery mood.


    Heath nced at his phone, then took a deep breath before knocking on Timothy’s office door. “Mr.


    Barrett, can I talk to you for a moment? There’s something I need to report,” he said cautiously.


    Without lifting his gaze, Timothy responded in a subdued tone, “It better be important.”


    “It’s about Mr. Shaw’s call just now. Maybe I should fill you in on itter.”


    “Wait.” Timothy suddenly raised his head, meeting Heath’s gaze. “What did Mr. Shaw say?”


    “Well, he said Ms. Bowen decided not to pick up another major because she’s just not interested,”


    Heath exined.


    Upon hearing this, Timothy stopped spinning his pen. He unconsciously pressed his lips together, a


    hint of displeasure crossing his face. He hadn’t anticipated Mia’s refusal.


    After all, Mia seerned quite engaged during her performance on stage yesterday!


    “Why do you think she refused?” Timothy asked, sounding puzzled.


    Suddenly, the office door swung open as a woman briskly walked in.
