Timothy lifted his head. "What are you doing here?"
"Tim, I'm trying to choose a silk scarf for Mrs. Barrett Senior, but I don't know her preference. Could you help me out? I hope she'd like my present."
The scarfs reminded him of the time Mia prepared a scarf of the same brand when she returned to the Barrett residence. She also exposed a distant relative for purchasing imitation on the same day.
Now, she has learned how to show her fangs. Her temper was that of a wild kitten.
Luna caught him not paying attention to her. She was baffled. "Tim?"
He recentered his thoughts. "Grandma has enough scarves. You can give her something else."
"Why don't you come shopping with me?"
"I'm busy." He then buried himself in work again.
She got out of his hair and left the office meekly. Time was of the essence. She had to prepare another gift immediately because she had to gain Laura's favor.
…
Mia left the hairdresser, her fingers caressing her new jewelry around her wrist.
It was more luxurious than the one Vior offered her.
"Mia, let's take a picture together," Liam suggested.
After taking a picture together, he claimed, "I'm gonna share it on my Twitter, let everyone know how pretty my sister is."
"No!" She pressed his hand. "I-I don't want to reveal myself to the public for now. It'll deprive me of freedom. I don't want that to happen."
Liam looked serious. "Mia, do you want to be a celebrity? If I take you under my wing, you'll be a rising global star in no time."
