A pair of big sunsses was covering Mia''s face as she strode over in heels.


    The people surrounding Timothy retreated backward.


    One of thedies looked at her. "Are you trying to flirt with him too? Get in line."


    Anotherdy chimed in, "Learn your manners. We came first."


    To Mia''s surprise, thedies started to pick on her.


    She adjusted her sunsses over her nose bridge before ncing in Timothy''s direction. "You should


    tell them if I have to get in line."


    He walked to her side without hesitation. "You''ll forever be the first to me."


    Mia eyed thedies. "Hear that? Leave, now."


    One of thedies didn''t give up. "Even if you don''t have to get in line, we have the right to call for a fair


    competition. And I think you''re misunderstanding something, miss. We''re not here to steal your man.


    We''re trying to offer him the opportunity to be a star.


    "It doesn''t matter what kind of rtionship you have with him. I''m trying to convince him to sign with our


    company so that he can debut as a star. He''ll hit it big!"


    Anotherdy added, "Yes, it''s a golden opportunity for the both of you to earn big."


    Mia quipped, "Save it. He''s going to sign with the entertainmentpany under Lane Group."


    "The entertainmentpany under Lane Group?"


    "Correct. Smallpanies like yours offer only very contracts. Don''t humiliate yourself in public.”


    Mia could easily tell what kind of game they were ying.


    Although they imed that they were an entertainmentpany, many people were forced to sign a


    very contract and be employees ving away regardless of their fame in order to bring in as


    much profit as possible for thepany.


    The other party assumed that Mia worked for Lane Group and ran away, and so did the others.


    After all, no one came second before Lane Group.


    Now that they were alone, Mia teased him, “I''m surprised by your poprity. Not even your pitiful looks


    can hide your unspoken charm.” Timothy was indeed charming. Mia admitted that.


    Wrinkles creased over his shirt and there were bloodstains dried over his shoulders.


    As a neat freak, he would always maintain his hygiene. It was her first time seeing him in such a


    haggard state.


    Her gazended on the wound on his shoulder. It seemed to be bandaged. "I thought you didn''t have


    money. Who gave you the bandage?"


    "A nurse.”


    Her brows arched. "You sure are popr, huh? Even the nurse treated you for free.”


    He was silent for a moment. “They were afraid that I might die in the hospital and bring trouble.”


    Romance was definitely not his cup of tea.


    It was obvious that the nurse had noticed his good looks and decided to tend to his wound for free. Yet,


    he didn''t ept her feelings.

    Mia blurted, “Long story short, I did that not because of you. Also, you have to return to Bern City as


    soon as possible. Return to your position as the president of Barrett Group and find out which idiot


    decided to coborate with the Bowen family."


    The Bowens had been spreading rumors about their impending coboration with the Barrett Group.


    There were people who believed in it too.


    "I said, I won''t leave until I see Ginger well and healthy," Timothy insisted.


    "Timothy Barrett, you used to be smart. Since when did you be a stubborn bull? We can have a


    video call after your return to Bern City," Mia retorted.


    "No. I want to see her in person in the hospital.”
