Chapter 676
Unable to tolerate the situation any longer, Timothy rose to his feet. He glanced at the group of young men, calmly removed his wristwatch, and tossed it outside the door. “Whoever grabs it first can keep it.”
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Keith sneered, “How much could this watch possibly cost anyway?”
Raising an eyebrow, Mia replied, “It’s not that expensive, just a little over 80 thousand
dollars.”
The moment her words trailed off, the young men, including Keith, swiftly stood up and dashed toward the door.
With a cold expression, Timothy strode over and closed the door, ensuring it was securely
locked.
The room finally settled into a tranquil atmosphere..
Mia arched an eyebrow, glancing at Timothy before her. “Are you seriously going to discard an 80–thousand–dollar watch like that?”
Timothy stepped closer, his tone laced with sarcasm. “Looks like your taste in men isn’t quite up to par; they’re willing to walk away over a mere 80 thousand bucks.”
“Well, who can resist the allure of money? If you handed me 80 thousand dollars, I’d make way for you too,” Mia quipped in response.
Timothy’s demeanor turned serious as he gazed at Mia before him, questioning, “What did you want to talk about by inviting me here?”
“A woman doesn’t summon a man in the dead of night just for conversation, Mr. Barrett. Are you truly that naive?”
Timothy’s expression darkened upon seeing Mia sporting that familiar smug expression once again, his irritation intensifying as he noticed the dimples forming at the corners of
her mouth.
Just then, Timothy approached Mia and leaned in, pushing her down onto the couch.
Peering down at Mia from above, Timothy spoke, “Ms. Monalize, given your unmistakable hints, wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I didn’t take any action?”

Seeing Timothy draw nearer, Mia’s heart suddenly began to race with anticipation.
It seemed Timothy wasn’t playing by the usual rules, was he?
Before Mia realized what was happening, her feet left the ground as she was swept away.
In a matter of moments, Mia found herself in the bedroom, a sense of unease creeping over her. “Mr. Barrett, what are you doing?”
As Mia found herself pressed against the plush bed, Timothy held her firmly on both sides, his voice maintaining a gentle tone. “Isn’t this what you wanted by inviting me here? Why the sudden change of heart?”
Timothy was curious to see how long Mia could keep up her charade.
Locking eyes with Timothy, Mia refused to betray any vulnerability. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and pushed him down.
Perched on top of him, Mia looked down and declared, “So, Mr. Barrett, I guess this makes us an official couple, doesn’t it? Perfect. I’ll make sure you get the reishi mushroom. But if we’re going to be together, you’ll need to abide by my conditions.”
