Noticing Timothy reaching out his hand too, Mia was baffled. She didn''t expect him to do the same.


    Why did he do that? Was he trying to make her choose between him and Nichs?


    How naive of him. Just what gave him the right to ask that she stay by his side?


    She was different from how she was four years ago.


    Mia merely spared Timothy''s hand a nce before walking toward Nichs. "Nick, you''re done with


    your work already? That''s quick."


    He nodded. "I just went over to hand over a document. It''s nothing big." In actuality, he came to the


    hospital on purpose. He was worried after learning from Connor that Mia was beaten up and


    hospitalized due to a concussion, so he made an excuse toe over.


    To his surprise, he found out that Timothy was at the hospital with Mia. As a man himself, Nichs


    could tell that Timothy had feelings for her. Otherwise, Timothy wouldn''t have be a mere


    bodyguard for Mia. He would have returned to his position as the president of Barrett Group.


    A while ago, Nichs called Connor to ask why Timothy showed up in Mia''s life. His hunch was telling


    him that Timothy was trying to steal her away this time around.


    Hearing that, Mia nodded. “Let''s head home. Eva just texted me, asking me where I am."


    "Let''s go."


    She headed outside the hospital without turning back, ignoring Timothy, who waspletely left


    behind.


    Nichs, on the other hand, turned his head to cast a look at Timothy. Nichs''s gaze carried a


    message of warning to him.


    He was warning Timothy not toe close to Mia.


    Timothy stood there all alone, watching Mia stepping further and further away from him with another


    man.


    His hands balled into fists as he remained in deep silence.


    Although it was the oue he had expected, it was difficult to ept it when it happened right before


    his eyes.


    The voice in his head was screaming at him to wipe Nichs out of this world for good.


    An epiphany struck him—if he didn''t do anything now, he would lose Mia forever.


    The woman, who attempted to cast him as a star a while ago, approached him shamelessly again.


    She asked in a whisper, "Sir, I think you and Ms. Lane ended the discussion on a negative note. Did


    you fail to reach apromise?" "Go away," Timothy said. He was clearly in a terrible mood.


    "Oh, don''t turn the offer down that quickly. Actually, our contract is not as bad as those rumors say. If


    you''re willing to sign a contract with us, we can discuss more about the conditions. I can contact my


    boss to report to him about the situation. Then, we can have a nice discussion together."


    When he saw her fishing out her phone, he reached out for it. "Could you lend me your phone for a


    moment? I need to make a call.”


    "Sure." She handed him her phone.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Something about this man intrigued her. That was an imperative tone, but she strangely listened to him.


    She couldn''t quite put her finger on it.


    Again, she studied Timothy carefully while he was dialing a number. He didn''t seem like any ordinary


    person.


    Turning around, he looked at the entrance with a deadpan face.


    The line got through in no time.


    "Hello? Who is this?" It was Heath.
