Mia caught sight of Maya walking ahead, the unforeseen encounter casting a shadow over her mood.
Upon turning around and spotting Mia, Maya’s demeanor noticeably darkened.
Having just ended a call with Shelly, Maya was still processing the events that unfolded at the studio today. It was astonishing haw Mia had effortlessly managed to disentangle herself from the situation.
Where did Mia find those incriminating videos and photos? And, more intriguingly, how did she manage to
enlist Jason’s law firm to personally intervene and pursue accountability for this matter?
Maya felt a sense of discomfort, her expression turning cold as she walked past Mia.
Noticing Maya approaching, Mia turned to Felix and casually remarked, “I just bumped into an acquaintance.
Felix, why don’t you take a seat and wait for me?”
Felix nodded understandingly, stepping aside to grant them a private space for conversation.
Mia redirected her attention to Maya and inquired, “You and Shelly were responsible for the Wilhelmina
incident, weren’t you?”
“To be honest, I never anticipated you’d extricate yourself so effortlessly. That honestly caught me off guard.
“However, that’s beside the point. I wanted to let you know that Tim and I are getting engaged. I’ll be
extending invitations to my brothers for the engagement ceremony.
“It would be wise for you to maintain a low profile. If my brothers catch wind of your actions, they won’t be lenient when confronting you,” Maya retorted.
With her arms crossed, Mia said sternly. “If I manage to uncover evidence implicating you in this matter, rest
assured, I won’t let you off lightly.”
“Sure, go ahead, as long as you can produce the evidence! Just so you know, my brother happens to own the renowned law firm in Nord City.
“So, don’t get too comfortable. With just one call from me, they certainly won’t litt a finger for you.”
As Maya shifted her gaze toward the restaurant entrance, she quickly changed the subject, saying, “Mia, I
never expected you to have such a good rapport with men.
“Going out to dinner with someone else behind Linden’s back–if he were to find out, do you think he would abandon you?” Maya snickered.
Realizing Maya had misunderstood, Mia chose not to explain herself. “My personal life is none of your concern. Whether I choose to date one or several men is entirely my business,” she shot back.
As her words lingered in the air, Mia couldn’t help but notice an odd gleam in Maya’s eyes, tinged with a hint of excitement.
Sensing an unusual tension in the atmosphere. Mia turned around only to find herself locking eyes with Timothy.

The intensity of his narrow, deep–set eyes caused Mia’s expression to stiffen abruptly.
No wonder Maya, that mischievous troublemaker, suddenly shifted the conversation. It became apparent that she had been patiently awaiting Timothy’s arrival all along.
Mia swiftly composed herself. Given her ongoing divorce proceedings with Timothy, Mia wasn’t in the mood for any additional complications.
