No longer able to endure the Bowens' brazenness, Mia felt a strong urge to humiliate them. She thought she'd seen enough impudence, yet the Bowens just brought her an eye-opening experience. How could they possibly be so insolent and foolish at the same time?
The Bowens' arrogance had left Mia in awe. She wondered who gave them the nerve to display such impudence. Were they unaware of what happened to the Jones?
Connie immediately retorted, "Mia, you gotta be kidding me. How would you be acquainted with Mr. Gomez? You probably only met him once. How would you know that he's at this hospital?"
"It's simple. Caleb just bought a gift to visit my child at the hospital, so we've just met. I know he's here."
"It's not surprising that you know him. However, that doesn't prove that this broke bodyguard is the CEO of Barrett Group. These are two different things!" Lewis interjected.
Amused, Mia replied, "Are you feeling uneasy? Caleb is good friends with the CEO of Barrett Group. He can prove whether my bodyguard is the CEO of the Barrett Group once he's here."
"Uneasy? Why would I be? You're the one who's in a tough spot now," Lewis retorted.
"Lewis, call Mr. Gomez and ask him where he is now. We'll be able to find out whether he's really at the hospital. It's no big deal," Connie suggested.
Mia nodded. "Exactly. You can just call him. Or you can even have him come to this floor."
"Sure, why not? Do you think I'd be intimidated?" Lewis took his phone out and made a call. The call got through promptly.
