Timothy stiffened his lips. He took out his phone and called Mia.
Meanwhile, Mia had just entered the research institute. Glancing at the caller ID, she was surprised to see that it was Timothy calling.
Still, she couldn't fathom why he called her. Things didn't end well between them at the banquet earlier after all.
Mia tossed her phone into her bag. She didn't intend to answer any calls. Peyton knew not to disturb her with any work-related matters whenever she bonded with her children unless they were urgent.
She changed into sterile clothing before she entered Sage's ward. He was busying himself in front of the computer. A series of codes appeared on the monitor, and he looked solemn.
"Handle the left wing, and let them come through in the middle. I'll deal with them."
The codes on the screen shifted promptly, indicating Sage's victory.
Having learned about coding from Nathan, Mia could also decipher the codes on Sage's screen. She clapped, exclaiming, "Good work!"
Sage muted his microphone once he heard her. Feigning sobriety, he said, "Mommy, why didn't you knock before you came in? I have my own privacy too."
Noting the prudence in his tone, Mia pinched his cheeks. "Since you seemed super engrossed earlier, I didn't want to affect your performance by knocking. What if you lost and embarrass yourself in front of your friends?"
Sage's eyes glinted as he dangled his legs. "That man hasn't left yet, right?"
"Who?" Staring at Sage, Mia instinctively thought of Timothy.
Sage's expression hardened. "That philanderer."
