Filed to story: Mia Bowen and Timothy Barrett Novel
There was no way she could stomach a loss against them!
She watched the numbers going higher and higher. The elevator suddenly stopped before it reached the highest floor.
Baffled, she wondered who else would want to go to the highest floor.
A pall of bad omen clouded her. She had a bad feeling about this.
The elevator door opened to reveal a man in a suit. It was that familiar handsome face again.
Mia flashed a smile at him. “What a coincidence, Mr. Barrett.”
Didn’t he run away back to Bern City only yesterday? Why would he show up at the banquet hall?
Timothy returned a faint smile. “It’s not a coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Chapter 952
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.”
“Everything has a line. I came here first, so it’s my turn. You should return and come back when it’s your turn.”
Smiling menacingly, he said, “If you say something nice, I may consider heading back.”
“What would you like to hear, Mr. Barrett?”
“Give it a shot.”
Mia gritted her teeth. “Someone handsome and rich like you should be a gentleman, right, Mr. Barrett?”
He didn’t expect her to compliment him.
He gave her an ambiguous smile. “Fine. But bring Ginger along for dinner tomorrow.”
“In your dreams.” She knew it. He was up to no good.
“There’s no room for negotiation on this then.” Timothy primped his suit and walked past her
Running after him, she pulled his clothes. “I came first. Step aside.”
Shoved by Mia, Timothy looked at her in surprise as he didn’t expect her to be this strong.
Standing in front of the door, Mia took a deep breath and managed her expression before knocking on the door.
Soon, a voice could be heard from the room. “Who is it?”
Mia smiled. “Room service.”
Timothy raised his brow at that. Why did she lie?
Next, the door was opened.
Raymond looked at Mia. “Ms. Mia?”
“Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Shelbert. I came because I have something to discuss with you.”
He frowned. “Maybe next time. I’m not available today.”
She hurriedly responded, “Mr. Shelbert, about the woman and the kid in the room, maybe I can help you take care of them.”
“Take care of us? Who do you think you are, Mia Lane?”
Mia looked at the woman in the room only to be surprised. “Luna?”
Chapter 953
Mia couldn’t believe her eyes.
Wasn’t Luna supposed to be in prison??
Mia clearly remembered that she had sued Luna for stealing the bone marrow, to which Luna was charged with a one-year imprisonment.
There was no way Mia would let Luna get away with that after she persuaded Sharon to steal the bone marrow, almost killing Sage.
That was why she personally handled the issue.
Never in her wildest dream had she expected to see Luna here.
Was Mia seeing things? Or was this another woman who looked like Luna?
However, that was really Luna’s voice. Even the way they spoke was the same.
It was really Luna!
As an afterthought, Mia turned her head to face Timothy.
She pinned him with an interrogating look. “Mind explaining? Why is this woman here?”
Did he do something behind the scenes and let Luna out of prison?
In fact, Timothy was equally surprised to find Luna here.
After all, he was aware that Luna was sued and imprisoned for a year. She should be in jail, not Raymond’s room in Nord City.
Luna looked at the duo triumphantly. “Why give me that look? You seem surprised.”
“Why are you here, Luna?” questioned Timothy coldly.
She sneered, “Where else should I be? In prison? I begged you when Mia, this bitch, set me up and tried to send me to prison. But all you did was watch, watch her sending me to prison! Of course, I have to save myself.”
Humans could only depend on themselves in this world, not anyone else.
Men were never the option.
Mia gazed at Luna. “I didn’t know you were this close with the mayor of Nord City, though?”
Luna’s head slightly lifted when she heard that.
This day had finally come! The day when she could reveal her true identity to Mia.
Luna wasn’t actually pale in comparison to Mia.
Mia looked at Raymond, “You seem to have a special relationship with her, Mr. Shelbert.”
Since when was Luna involved with him?
