Mia's jaw tightened. "Waiting for me? It seems like you're competing for this project on purpose, huh?"
Timothy nodded without hesitation. "That's right."
She didn't expect him to admit it so confidently.
She stepped forward and pulled his necktie. "You're one daring thief, huh? I was being nice and let you go and yet this is how you repay my kindness?"
Placing his hands by the doorframe, he stopped the elevator door from closing in case it hurt him.
She huffed, "Why are you doing this?"
His Adam's apple bobbed and his voice sounded hoarse. "So that you'll remember me."
"Jerk!"
She released him. "You're only making me hate you more."
There was no way she would remember this bastard.
Stretching out her arm, she wanted to press the close button. But he stopped the elevator door from closing and entered the elevator.
Mia looked at him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to do whatever you do." Timothy primped his necktie while looking into his reflection
"Timothy Barrett, are you a copycat? Why are you doing this?"
He smirked at the furious Mia. "Is there something wrong with following whatever you do? You're my wife."
"We were divorced a long time ago."
"Guess I'm following my ex-wife then. There's nothing wrong with it."
Mia walked out of the elevator before glaring at him. "Seems to me like you lost a few screws in your head, Timothy Barrett."
He exited the elevator calmly. "Whatever you say."
Rendered speechless, she took a few steps forward and then turned back to look at him again. "Stop following me."
"You don't own this hotel. I can go this way too. If you want to meet the mayor, I can too."
