As Mia''s words trailed off, Timothy remained unfazed, gazing calmly at her as he spoke, "Before you
arrived, I had already contacted a reporter from the media.
"I disclosed only the first part of what you said, withholding the rest for now. If you insist on keeping me
here, I believe he''ll likely publish the full story tomorrow.”
Mia was furious. "Timothy, how could you stoop so low?"
“I have just one request,” Timothy replied calmly. "I want to stay here and apany Ginger during her
treatment.”
Mia paced around in frustration before eventually pulling up a chair and sitting down, fixing her gaze on
Timothy in the hospital bed.
Her anger was so intense that she wished she could just punch him then and there.
"Aren''t you aware of my brothers’ sentiments toward you now? If they find out you''re still in Nord City,
or even close to me, your situation could be dire."
"This decision is mine to make. I am prepared to face the consequences on my own."
Mia massaged her temples in frustration. She couldn''t believe Timothy was attempting to outsmart her
at this critical moment.
This movie represented the culmination of her relentless dedication and effort.
It held immense significance for her, marking her debut in the entertainment industry. There was no
room for error.
Mia was surprised that Timothy could discern her current vulnerability simply by reading a news article.
It served as a stark reminder for her not to underestimate him.
Yet, the notion ofpromising in such a manner left her feeling uneasy.
After pondering for a while, Mia gazed at him and stated, "You can stay, but given your current
situation, there''s only one role avable for you. You''ll serve as my assistant, and bodyguard, handling
various misceneous tasks around me."
"Alright," Timothy agreed without hesitation.
Mia was somewhat taken aback. She had assumed that someone as aplished as Timothy, who
had been the pride of his family since childhood, would never agree to such a role.
Initially, she had intended to make things challenging for him.
This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
However, she hadn''t anticipated his quick and willing agreement.
Mia nodded. "Alright, now that you''re on board, please proceed to sign this employment contract.”
Peyton swiftly handed over a document, and Timothy signed it without ncing at its contents.
A sly grin curved Mia''s lips. "Starting today, you are at my beck and call. You must follow any directive I
issue. If Imand you to go east, you cannot venture west. If I instruct you to learn to meow like a
cat, you cannot bark like a dog!"
Mia wore a smug expression, confident that Timothy would be furious after hearing those words.
“If he can''t handle it," she thought, "he should just go back to Bern City!"
But surprisingly, Timothy didn''t seem to be angered by Mia''s statement. Instead, he held the contract
delicately, wearing a mischievous smile. “I could even keep youpany while you sleep,” he teased.
"You wish!" Mia shot back.
Snatching the contract, she swiftly left the hospital without further ado. ncing at the document, her
eyes lingered on Timothy''s signature—a bold, elegant stroke that exuded a sense of grandeur.
Peyton hesitantly spoke up, "Ms. Mia, should we really be doing this? If Mr. Dominic catches wind of
it..."
Mia interrupted firmly, “Then be cautious and ensure Dominic remains unaware of this arrangement.
Besides, Sage''s treatment won''t be prolonged, and Timothy will naturally depart afterward.”
Rubbing her chin thoughtfully, Mia added, "Once Timothy is discharged and begins his duties, find
ways to challenge him. Don''t go easy on him because of his background. Right now, he''s just another
employee." Peyton nodded respectfully. “I understand."
The next day, Mia and her family rushed to the hospital upon hearing that Sage had woken up.
Alone in his hospital bed, Sagey with a slightly paleplexion. He nced at the adults gathered
around his bed, his face showing a hint of tension.
"Don''t hover around me like I''m already dead," he remarked.
