Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed on the car window.

Wearing a stern expression, Timothy rolled it down and asked, “Who is It?”

“I’m the traffic officer for this area, and parking is not permitted here. I recommend relocating to anearby hotel. *A middle–aged man in a bright fluorescent uniform asserted, appearing well aware of thesituation.

Seeing the uniformed officer, Mia instinctively covered her face, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Timothy straightened up, his serious demeanor unwavering.

Responding swiftly. Rodger and Heath rushed over, efficiently moving the car from its unauthorizedspot.

Yet, an air of awkwardness lingered inside the car.

Rodger and Heath wished they could simply vanish at that moment.

Timothy bore a stern expression, his appearance disheveled. His tie was carelessly tossed aside, andhis collar hung loosely, marked by creases on his shoulders.

In a corner, Mia took a moment to collect herself. She discreetly glanced at Heath in the passengerseat and whispered, “Just drop me off at the subway station up ahead.”

Heath hesitated, shooting a cautious glance at Timothy seated behind him. Without Timothy’s approval,he refrained from making any abrupt stops.

Meanwhile, Mia subtly observed Timothy beside her, noting his resolute and stern expression.

With a commanding tone, Timothy directed, “Pull over, please. You’re aware that fuel comes at a cost,right?”

Shortly afterward, the car came to a stop outside the subway station.

Without looking back, Mia swiftly opened the car door and stepped into the subway station.

It was only after Mia’s silhouette had vanished that Timothy withdrew his gaze.

Seated in the passenger seat, Heath couldn’t resist stealing glances behind, appearing to havesomething to say but hesitated.

Frowning, Timothy urged, “Spit it out.”

“Mr. Barrett, do you need to go to the hospital to treat that wound?” Heath finally asked.

It was then that Timothy recalled Mia had bitten the corner of his mouth.

He glanced at his phone, noting a small cut on his lip that seemed far from accidental.

Taking a deep breath, Timothy tossed his phone aside.

With a stern expression, he ordered, “Find out why Mia went to Oakwood Villa.”

Timothy found Mia’s earlier reaction odd, fueling his determination to unravel the mystery of whom shehad

Mia took the subway back to the studio.

She appeared visibly unsettled, primarily due to Timothy’s impulsive actions.

The awkward kiss they had shared left her with swollen lips. Timothy’s kissing style lacked finesse,almost like he was nibbling on something.

Had he not picked up any kissing techniques during his time with Maya?

Abruptly, Wilhelmina approached. “Mia, why are you back so soon? You don’t look too well,” sheremarked.

In response, Mia raised her gaze, scrutinizing Wilhelmina. “You seem rather surprised that I couldreturn this early. Or did you already anticipate that I wouldn’t be able to come back today?”

Had it not been for the impromptu decision to employ Timothy as a bluff earlier, Mia wouldn’t have beenable

to leave Oakwood Villa.

It was peculiar how a prestigious design order landed directly in Mia’s hands.

After all, securing such an order proved to be a substantial deal for the studio, as it was highly soughtafter by everyone due to the allure of a higher commission.

Wilhelmina’s earlier words carried an unusual undertone, adding to the intrigue.

Confronted by Mia’s probing question, Wilhelmina appeared somewhat uneasy. “I was just curious.Why are you so on edge? Are you feeling paranoid or something?”

After uttering those words, Wilhelmina swiftly exited the scene and headed directly to the pantry area.

Without delay, she dialed Shelly’s number, reporting. “Ms. Barrett, everything seems to be taken careof. Mia has made significant progress with Keegan.

“Although they haven’t slept together yet, her swollen lips suggest that it’s only a matter of time.”
