Chapter 75
Timothy stepped into his office with a nonchalant expression. Mia couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment.
Maya hurried over with a smile.
“Tim, I made some chicken soup for you.”
“Please get out first.”
Maya couldn’t believe her ears. She even glanced over at Mia and wondered if Timothy was referring to the wrong person. Did he intend to ask Mia to get out instead?
Timothy glanced over at Maya. He seemed displeased.
Although she felt defiant, she still had to pretend that she was cool with it.
“Alright, you guys can go ahead first. I’ll wait outside.”
Mia heard Maya leave as the clacking of her heels distanced away from the office.
They were the only ones left in this spacious space.
Mia shot a glance at Timothy as she sat upright on the couch.
When Timothy tossed his pen on the table, a crisp sound was heard.
With a stoic expression, he said, “What is it?”
Mia probed hesitantly. “Are you still going to give me the payment?”
Infuriated, Timothy loosened his tie.
He glared at her as he snapped, “Mia, do you only care about money?”
Mia dusted her clothes as she got up and replied, “If you don’t want to pay me, then forget it.”
She regretted bad-mouthing him in the first place. This mistake cost her 800 thousand dollars!
“Grandma hasn’t been well lately. She might’ve heard some rumors, so she’ll visit the marital home in these
few days. You’d better move back.”
Suddenly, Mia froze.
“Grandma seemed fine before. Isn’t she going to go for surgery soon?”
“The date of the surgery isn’t confirmed yet. But I hope you can behave before her surgery and don’t let her find out.”
Mia regained her composure as she replied, “I’ll do as you say, but I hope you can make arrangements for her surgery to proceed sooner.”
“I don’t need you to tell me what to do.”

After she withdrew her gaze, she turned and left his office.
Maya was standing outside. She was boiling in a fit of rage.
