Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 546

After Mia posed her question, she noticed a faint blush on Gina's cheeks. Indeed, this was the primary reason Mia had come to the reunion today—solely to accompany Gina.

Just then, Jeremy raised his glass, declaring, "Everyone, I propose a toast. I appreciate each of you for gracing us with your presence tonight. Here's to a prosperous future and abundant wealth!"

Abstaining from alcohol, Mia decided to pour herself a glass of lemon water instead.

Ramona quickly pointed out, "Mia, everyone else is drinking, but you're sticking with water. What's the deal? Why aren't you trying to be sociable?"

In a composed manner, Mia explained, "I haven't been feeling well lately and can't consume alcohol. I apologize."

Given her pregnancy, it was evident that alcohol was off-limits for her.

Ramona expressed her disapproval, questioning, "What do you mean by 'you can't drink'? Are you purposely trying to be different and draw attention to yourself?"

Interrupting Ramona, Jeremy intervened, asserting, "If she chooses not to drink, that's entirely up to her. After all, this is a class reunion, not a formal business event. How about we let everyone make their own choice?"

Frustrated, Ramona could only shoot Mia a resentful look.

Once Jeremy had finished his drink, he approached Mia. "Hey Mia, let's swap numbers. Our company has design projects too. Once you graduate from university, you can join our team. The benefits are quite appealing."

"Let's discuss it after I graduate. I'm still undecided," Mia responded.

After all, she had already made plans to depart for Nord City. Hence, working in Bern City wasn't on her agenda.

As Ramona observed Jeremy asking for Mia's number, her underlying discontent reached its peak.

She intentionally spoke up, asserting, "Mia, we're all classmates here, so if you decide to join the company in the future, we'll ensure you're well looked after.

"However, I've heard that the HR department isn't particularly welcoming to divorced women. But don't worry, I have connections with the HR manager, and I'll put in a good word for you when the time comes."

Gina swiftly interjected, "Well, Mia isn't interested at all. After winning first place in the Fleur International Design Competition, both the Barrett Group and Nord City's Vista Properties extended job offers to her."
