Chapter 66
Undaunted by Maya’s question, Mia placed the design paper on the table confidently. “Yes, that’s me. When is Timothy coming back?”
“He’s working overtime today, so I don’t know when he’s coming back. You can tell me everything since I live with him anyway.” Maya grabbed the design paper and began perusing it on the couch.
Silence returned to the living room. Only the noise of pages being leafed through could be heard.
Mia stood in the same spot. The quietness amplified the ticking of time. Maya put down the design paper and asked, “Ms. Bowen, I like your design here, but certain details need to be tweaked. I’m thinking of having a photo wall for our wedding photos. Where do you think we should display it?”
Wedding photos? Mia recalled that when Timothy and she got married, Timothy absolutely refused to hang their wedding photos. Laura had to keep bugging him to change his mind. And now that he was with Maya, he wanted a photo wall. Now she knew who was more important.
Mia rolled her eyes internally, but she was professional enough to maintain her smile. “Anywhere you like.”
“I want your opinion because you’re the professional here.”
Mia pointed at the wall facing the main entrance. “That’s a nice spot. You’ll see the photos when you walk in.”
Maya nodded contentedly. “By the way, we need a new mattress too. I want something softer to improve our sleep quality. Timothy hasn’t had enough sleep lately because the mattress is too hard.”
Mia breathed out slowly. “There are a lot of brands available, even the luxurious ones. I’m not an expert in this. Perhaps I can redirect you to sales?”
“You’re the designer. You’ll help us pick the mattress, too, yeah?”
Mia nodded. “Sure, I can come with you.” Her smile did not betray the scowl she just let out internally.
