Upon spotting Timothy's car, Mia promptly responded to Jeremy over the phone, "Absolutely. I'm currently outside the study hall. Would you mind meeting me here?"
"Sure thing, I'll be right there."
After ending the call, Mia remained standing alone outside the study hall. Though she noticed Timothy's car, she refrained from approaching it, pretending not to have seen it.
Before long, Timothy emerged from the car, his eyes fixed on her. Feeling his gaze, Mia diverted her attention to the sky above.
"The rain last night was intense, but today's sky is remarkably clear and blue," she mused silently.
"What are you staring at? Is there a UFO up there?" Timothy's resonant voice disrupted her thoughts.
Standing on the steps, he watched her, reminiscent of their encounter the previous night.
Unable to ignore him, Mia turned to face Timothy. "There's a flying cow up there. Didn't you see it?" she remarked sarcastically.
Timothy was taken aback by her retort. His eyes were tinged with red as he had barely slept throughout the night.
His mind was consumed by Mia's words. She claimed it had consistently been her unreciprocated love, asserting that he had never held any feelings for her.
Timothy had meant to clear things up the previous night, but Claude had cut him off.
Timothy's expression turned somewhat awkward as he admitted, "Actually, what you said last night wasn't entirely true."
Mia looked at him in surprise, wondering what she had said the night before.
"Mia!" Just then, Jeremy's voice interrupted. He briskly walked over, noticing Mia standing face-to-face with another man.
Jeremy's eyes momentarily darkened; nonetheless, he quickly flashed a charming smile as he approached. "Mia, I've brought you a little treat. It's the perfect time for a snack."
