"Mia, what's wrong?" Dominic's question snapped Mia back to her senses.
"Nothing," she replied with a smile. Gazing at her, Dominic added, "There's a charity auction later. You can bid whatever you have your eyes on. Money's not an issue."
Visibly amused, Mia glanced at him and quipped, "Oh, I remember you told me you're a real estate agent?"
Dominic cleared his throat and said, "I only mentioned real estate. You assumed I was an agent."
Her gaze drifted to her other brothers. "Nathan, the software programmer?"
Nathan said solemnly, "Let me reintroduce myself formally. Nice to meet you, Mia. I own Techsphere."
"Oh my god, it's your company who developed the famous online game!" Mia's hands flew to her mouth as she spiraled in absolute shock.
Connor took the initiative to defend himself hastily. "Dominic came up with the nonsense of me being a vet. I never admitted that I was one."
Mia narrowed her eyes. "So, you're that renowned doctor in Nord City? You're actually the one who operated on Grandma Laura, right?"
Rubbing his nose guiltily, he mumbled, "Yeah, but I wasn't deliberately lying to you. I was in a difficult position back then, and I had no idea how I should explain it to you. I was worried that you'll be mad at me."
Mia glanced over at Claude. "Are you merely a piano teacher? I remember Maya boasting about her brother being a famous pianist, and he owns the orchestra."
Claude broke into a fit of cold sweat. "E-Exactly. But Mia, I didn't do that on purpose. I swore that I wouldn't let Maya join the orchestra, and I've been persuading you to join us."
