Chapter 13
“You’re the one who usually handles these things. How is Maya supposed to find it?”
Mia snorted. He simply cared too much about Maya, his first love, to let her wait on someone else. Was that
why he wanted her to head back there and wait on the two of them?
She wasn’t interested in going back there and seeing Maya on her bed!
“If you can’t find it, then wear something else!” Mia retorted before hanging up.
Her heart was beating quicker than usual. She never thought she would one day be cutting off Timothy’s call.
Doing it felt pretty good.
…
Once the call had ended, the maid asked Timothy hesitantly, “Would you like a different tie, Mr. Barrett?”
Timothy went over to the walk-in closet. True enough, he found it in the second drawer, even though he had
searched through it earlier. It was quite a mystery to him!
Last night, Timothy’s men had tailed the helicopter for a while before losing them. Timothy didn’t know where
Mia had been taken to.
It felt like he was losing control, and that feeling annoyed him.
Once Timothy got dressed, he went to the dining room. He was greeted by a table full of fancy breakfast spread. After taking a bite, he frowned and lowered his cutlery. “This tastes bad!”
Nervous, the butler, Kaleb, explained, “Before leaving, Ms. Lane specifically said to prepare this spread for you,
Mr. Barrett. She said these were some of your favorites.”
Kaleb did have some doubts about Maya’s claims. After all, Timothy had been eating Mia’s cooking for the last three years, and she tended to make simple local food for breakfast.
Also, Kaleb assumed Maya would be moving into the house and becoming the future Mrs. Barrett, but Timothy had someone take her home last night.
Timothy tossed his cutlery aside. “I don’t like this food.”
He glanced at the empty seat beside him. In the past, he was annoyed by the sight of Mia, but now, he
couldn’t get used to the lack of her presence.
