"Yes, he's gone."
"Didn't he say anything?"
Mia felt a little strange that Timothy left just like that.
Not long after, Peyton walked in with an exquisite meal box. "Ms. Lane, supper is here. Grab a bite."
"How did you know that I'm hungry?"
Mia took the meal box from him. Upon opening it, she noticed that it contained her favorite dishes.
She paused for a second and looked at Peyton. "Did you order this?"
"Yes, I did. I bought supper for all the overtime staff."
Peyton was surprised that Timothy actually sent them food.
But Peyton said he bought it to avoid the risk of a bonus deduction.
When Mia saw her employees outside holding the same meal box, the doubt in her mind vanished.
She glanced out the window casually, and there was no sign of Timothy.
After finishing her food, she looked at Peyton. "Ask everyone to go home. They'll get double pay for today."
Mia grabbed her handbag and left her office.
Right after she left, a black car emerged from the dark.
Timothy looked in her direction and said, "Follow her."
Holding the same meal box, Caleb was eating while saying, "How could you leave just like that earlier? All your effort went down the drain. She's obviously avoiding you."
"I know that, but it was late. I want her to get off work and go home early. If I hadn't left, she wouldn't have left as well." Timothy's voice was low.
"Tsk, tsk… I didn't know you love her so deeply. It's a pity that Mia knows nothing about this."
"She doesn't need to know," Timothy said.
Leaning against the seat, Timothy fixed his eyes on the car ahead. His gaze was deep and inscrutable.
