Chapter 138
Timothy faced sideways and chided, “Mind your attitude, Shelly Barrett. Is the long years of upbringing all for nothing? You’re just
plain rude. Not even the perfume can cover your foul attitude!”
Shelly was dumbfounded. “Timothy!”
“If you don’t know how to speak properly, then shut it. Don’t be such a disgrace.” He left those cold remarks and marched
forward.
Maya comforted Shelly before following him.
Meanwhile, Mia and Liam were searching for their seats.
He gazed at her. “Mia, were you bullied when you worked for the Barretts?”
Her eyelids fluttered. “No. Mrs. Barrett Senior actually treated me well. No one had the nerve to bully me.”
“But judging from how Shelly acted back there, I can tell that she didn’t treat you–nicely. Don’t worry, Mia. I’m going to make her
pay for it!”
“It’s a misunderstanding, Liam. It’s not what you think it is.” She didn’t want him to get on the Barretts‘ bad side because of her.
That was exactly why she didn’t speak with her brothers about her marriage with Timothy.
How could Mia watch him teach Shelly a lesson and let it be? No matter how spiteful Shelly was, she was still Ms. Barrett!
Right when she was going to talk Liam out of it, she noticed Timothy approaching them. And she zipped her lips.

Liam followed her gaze, and there happened to be two empty seats next to them.
He clicked his tongue, doubting the possibility of such a coincidence.
Some things transpired by chance as if it were fate.
Mia realized that Timothy had taken the empty seat next to her, with Maya sitting beside him.
Straightening her posture, she could faintly smell his perfume. It was so faint that she could scarcely catch it without paying heed
to it.
It was the perfume she picked for him on the notion that it would suit him.
However, he never used these things once, just like the suits. Never once had he worn those clothes or used the perfume.
Her eyes slightly widened when she sniffed the familiar perfume.
Timothy was acting out of character that day.
Not only was he clad in the light–colored suit Mia chose, but he also wore the perfume she picked for him.

Mixed feelings stirred in her as she couldn’t see through him.
Maya noticed Mia and thought of something to talk about. “Timothy, you’re quite different today. You wore light shades and
perfume, didn’t you?”
His tone gave off a hint of awkwardness. “No.”
“Don’t be shy, Timothy. Men can use perfume, too. Besides, the perfume you’re wearing smells nice. Which brand is it?”
“I don’t know.” He was deadpan.
Mia sneaked a peek at him, figuring that the answer was reasonable. He really didn’t know the brand.
After all, she made it by mixing a few perfumes of different brands. It took a few experimental attempts before getting the final
product.
There was only one bottle of it in the world.
Soon, a pungent perfume wafted their noses. It didn’t take a genius to know who the incoming guest was.
Shelly sat behind four of them, staring at Liam with fuming eyes.
She couldn’t understand how Mia was able to hook up with such an upstanding man that quickly. Were these men blind?”
Then, the auction was going to commence soon.
Maya cast a glance at Mia intentionally. “Ms. Bowen, this must be your first time attending an auction. Don’t be nervous.”
Mia’s fingers gripped the bidding number tightly.
Rage exploded in Liam as soon as he heard that.
