As Mia looked up, she recognized the woman as Isabella Bowen. It seemed fate had a twisted sense of humor to reunite them once more.
Why couldn't the Bowen family just leave them be?
Isabella strutted in, flaunting her designer handbag. "Mia, I can't believe you're being so stingy, only giving your little toy boy 50 dollars for shopping!"
When Mia heard Isabella refer to Timothy as her "little boy toy", she struggled to contain her laughter.
Clearing her throat, she responded, "That 50 dollars is his compensation for two days of work."
"So, you're only giving him 50 bucks for two days' work? You might as well come to work for me, pretty boy. At least I won't shortchange you."
Isabella was taken aback as she turned to look at Timothy, who wasn't wearing sunglasses. She hadn't expected him to be so attractive.
No wonder Mia had been involved with this bodyguard!
Taking a step closer to Timothy, Isabella boldly pulled out a wad of cash from her wallet and addressed him, saying, "Hey boy toy, I make more money in a day than you do in a month of hard work.
"Don't waste your time with a miserly woman like Mia. Come with me instead, and I promise you a life of luxury."
Mia watched from the sidelines, astonished by Isabella's audacity.
She was tempted to grab her phone and capture this historic moment with the title writing, "The CEO of the esteemed Barret family in Bern City being enticed with money by a woman!"
If this were to leak, it would undoubtedly make headlines!
It seemed that the Bowens were indeed an eccentric bunch, with each member being more peculiar than the last!
Timothy's expression remained stoic as he glanced at the heavily made-up Isabella. "Get lost," he replied tersely.
"Hey, don't act all high and mighty, little boy toy. The treatment I'm offering you is much better than what Mia gives you! Why are you refusing?"
Growing impatient, Timothy replied curtly, "Because you're too ugly."
Upon hearing this, Mia burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. "Isabella, did you catch that? You're simply not attractive, and your family's genetics aren't stellar either.
