Mia nced at Timothy, who seemed perfectlyposed beside her. She wondered where his


    courage stemmed from.


    Withdrawing her gaze, she said, "I apud you for yourmendable courage. However, I''d suggest


    you keep a low profile. Don''t let my brothers find out that you''re in Nord City. Otherwise, you''re


    doomed."


    "Are you concerned about me?" Timothy asked.


    Sensing the hint of amusement in his eyes, Mia turned around and replied, "I didn''t expect you to be so


    presumptuous, Mr. Barrett. You''re my child''s father after all. Things will getplicated if something


    happens to you.” She was totally not concerned about him.


    Just then, a gorgeous flight attendant approached them with a trolley.


    "Ms. Lane, Mr. Barrett, would you like something to eat or drink? Here''s the menu."


    Mia took the menu and ordered a steak and some fruits.


    The flight attendant crouched down next to Timothy and said sweetly, "Mr. Barrett, since you''re going to


    Nord City, I''d rmend you to try these local specialties.”


    Timothy found it troublesome and simply ordered the food she rmended.


    Sofia was delighted. Without skipping a beat, she added, "Mr. Barrett, are you heading to Nord City for


    business or vacation? I''m actually from Nord City. If you don''t mind, I can offer you some tips.” During


    her meal, Mia suddenly nced over at Timothy and said, "Why don''t you bring her with you after you


    get off the ne? It''ll be more convenient for you to have a private guide.”


    Surprise filled Sofia''s eyes as she nodded hastily. "Mr. Barrett, if you don''t mind, I''d love to help you


    out."


    Timothy paid Sofia no mind, but she was practically glued to him. He turned to Mia. "Are you jealous?”


    Mia smirked. "Really? Do you think I''d be jealous?"


    "Then you—"


    "I said so earlier because it was a reasonable suggestion. It''s up to you whether you want to ept it


    or not, Mr. Barrett. Being confident is great, but it''s going to turn into arrogance if you''re overconfident.”

    As she spoke, she looked up and saw her friend.


    Mia waved at an attractive man dressed in uniform ahead. "Hi, are you piloting today''s flight?" Mia


    asked.


    "Yeah, I''m guiding a new crew member today. I''m in the co-pilot''s position today.”


    Brian strode over and began chatting away with Mia in the corridor. He was clearly very familiar with


    her.


    Timothy''s expression darkened instantly. Scowling at Brian, he pondered on Brian''s identity and his


    rtionship with Mia.


    Brian smiled and said, "Ms. Lane, I''m also nning to take a few days off in Nord City. Do I have the


    honor of inviting you out for a meal?"


    A smile danced on Mia''s lips as she replied, "Of course. It''s my pleasure to dine with such a handsome


    man."


    Noting the palpable tension in the air, she nced over at Timothy. "Mr. Barrett, can you do me a


    favor?”


    "What is it?" Timothy quipped, pressing his lips together.


    "There are so many seats there. Could you please move to another seat? I''m in the mood to chat with


    Brian."
