Chapter 451
Mia meant to ask earlier, but she was interrupted by Maya’s sudden appearance.
Claude’s expression shifted slightly. He was caught off guard by her question. “Maya knows how to play the piano as well. She wants to join our orchestra.”
“So she’ll be joining in the future?” Mia asked curiously.
“In her dreams! I won’t let her join. She isn’t talented at all.” Claude’s tone was laced with disdain. There was no way he’d let Maya join the orchestra.
Given Maya’s influential family background, Mia thought it wouldn’t be difficult for Maya to join the orchestra if she wanted.
Just as they were about to leave backstage, Kennedy went up to Mia and asked, “Mia, it’s all thanks to you that the event ended splendidly. Why don’t you join us for a meal?”
Mia didn’t expect this at all. She really didn’t want to entertain them since she only did it for the sake of her credit.
Claude took note of her uneasiness. Glancing up at Kennedy, he replied, “Sorry, but we have an appointment later. Maybe next time.”
Kennedy was aware of his identity as the general manager of the orchestra. He figured that he thought highly of Mia’s talent as well. Knowing that he couldn’t afford to offend him, he replied servilely with a smile, “Sure, no worries.”
Mia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Claude rejected his offer in her stead.
As she left with him, she spotted a luxury car parked nearby. It was Timothy’s car. She quickly withdrew her gaze after a brief glance.
Scrambling into Claude’s car, she chanced a glance at the rearview mirror, but she couldn’t discern Timothy’s expression.
Timothy narrowed his eyes as he watched Claude’s car leave. There was a complicated look in his eyes. Glancing over at Heath, he asked, “Did you find out why Mia was close to the Lanes?”
Heath hesitated. “Not very specific. But it seems like the Lanes began to get close with Mrs. Barrett ever since you proposed a divorce.
“It does seem strange, but there are no significant findings from our investigation.”
“You gotta be kidding me. Keep investigating then!”
The way Mia left with Claude lingered in Timothy’s mind. Feeling frustrated, he winded down the window to get some fresh air. Little did he expect Maya to dash over at him.
