Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1159

Upon learning that Heath was the CEO's secretary, Noah deduced that the man beside him must be a high-ranking executive in Barrett Group.

Heath reaffirmed, "I am the CEO's secretary, so naturally, this gentleman here is my boss, Mr. Timothy Barrett, the CEO of Barrett Group."

Noah's face visibly drained of color upon hearing Heath's revelation.

Though he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Timothy, Noah struggled to recall where they might have crossed paths before.

However, with Heath's clarification, Noah's memory was jogged. Timothy was indeed the CEO of Barrett Group.

He had glimpsed him once from afar during a brief encounter in a certain business circle.

After all, elite families like the Barretts were well out of Noah's social sphere.

Just then, Noah's legs momentarily weakened, nearly causing him to lose his balance. With a hesitant stutter, he turned to Mia and asked, "I-I-Is she Mr. Barrett's former wife?"

Timothy's gaze turned cold as he responded to Noah, "My ex-wife is not someone you need to concern yourself with."

As Noah's legs gave way, he knelt on the ground, pleading, "Mr. Barrett, I was unaware that Ms. Lane is your ex-wife! It was a mistake on my part, and I inadvertently offended her. Please, don't stoop to my level and hold it against me!"

Bewildered by Noah's sudden display, Pamela interjected, "Noah, a man's dignity is priceless. Why are you kneeling before him?"

Noah rushed to explain, "Mom, he's the heir of the Barrett family—the most prominent family in Bern City! If I offend him, it won't just be me; our whole family will suffer.

"Besides, your friend seems rather dubious. Is she deliberately trying to sabotage me by arranging this blind date?"

The thought of offending Timothy filled Noah with dread.

Given Mia's former status as Timothy's wife, how could someone like Noah possibly compare to him? To make matters worse, it was clear that Timothy still harbored feelings for her.

Pamela seemed to have caught on, tightly gripping Diane's arm. "You're utterly ruthless! You promised to introduce Noah to a wealthy, easy-to-please woman, someone without family ties to worry about.
