Jolene interjected, "Exactly! Mia, why hasn't your chauffeur arrived yet? Are you concerned that if Ramona were to discover who he is, she might inform his wife? That's why you're hesitant to bring him here?"

As she spoke, a sleek black luxury car smoothly pulled up outside the restaurant.

The car's elegant lines glided through the pouring rain, halting directly in front of the restaurant entrance.

Instantly, all eyes turned toward the vehicle.

Jeremy couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that's impressive! It's the latest Rolls-Royce. Even with money, it's not easy to get your hands on one."

Ramona leaned forward, attempting to get a clearer view.

Mia, too, stared at the sleek black car before her, a hint of confusion evident in her eyes; this vehicle didn't resemble her brother's or Antonio's!

Yet, the emblem on the car appeared familiar. She recalled Timothy owning a similar car, although the model seemed different!

Suddenly, the passenger door swung open, and a man holding a black umbrella approached the back seat, courteously opening the door.

The large black umbrella opened overhead, shielding them from the heavy downpour.

A man in a suit leaned forward to step out of the car. His features were handsome yet stern, and his narrow eyes held a sharp gaze.

Upon his arrival, the sound of the rain around him seemed to diminish, as if fading into the background.

Taking the umbrella from Heath's hand, Timothy ascended the steps, his movements commanding and resolute.

For a moment, nearly all the women present found themselves captivated by him.

Mia stood in place, observing Timothy's unexpected arrival. What was he doing here? In this torrential downpour, had he also come for dinner?

As Mia contemplated this, Timothy suddenly stood before her, his figure looming over her despite standing a few steps above.

He positioned his umbrella over Mia's head, protecting her from the splashing rain.

Instinctively, Mia moved aside. "Are you here for dinner?"

Observing her movement, Timothy’s brow furrowed. “Follow me. "

With the downpour intensifying, trying to hail a cab seemed impossible.

Nevertheless, Mia instinctively refused, "There's no need to go through all this trouble."

Given Antonio's likely delay on the road, Mia was confident he would arrive later to pick her up.

Noticing her refusal, Timothy's tone carried a hint of discontent. "Are you planning to get drenched on your way back in this heavy rain?"

With that, he extended his hand toward Mia, his knuckles defined and attractive.

Just then, Jeremy stepped forward, positioning himself beside Mia. "Sir, Mia prefers not to accompany you. I'll ensure she gets home safely."

Seeing another man intervene, Timothy's gaze turned sharp. "I suggest you refrain from interfering in this matter!"

Where did this man come from? How dare he portray himself as a knight in shining armor!

Undeterred, Jeremy persisted, "Mia and I are classmates. If she's not willing to accompany you, then you shouldn't force her."

Timothy pursed his lips, arching an eyebrow with a mocking glint in his eyes.

While Jeremy was also dressed in a formal suit, he appeared noticeably less impressive in both presence and appearance compared to Timothy.

Timothy's icy gaze sent a shiver down Jeremy's spine, yet Jeremy couldn't help but secretly admire Timothy's commanding aura.

Despite this, Jeremy didn't want to come across as timid, so he refused to back down.

Timothy regarded him with a cold stare. "What's your name?"

"I'm Jeremy Kelce, the manager at Truist Financial. Here's my business card!" Jeremy responded, his tone tinged with a hint of pride and boastfulness.

After all, holding the position of manager at Truist Financial automatically commanded a certain level of respect in society.

Timothy glanced at the business card but chose not to accept it.

It seemed Jeremy was projecting an air of arrogance.
