Chapter 420
Nonetheless, Mia happened to have important matters to discuss with Timothy.
Just as Mia was about to approach him, a woman in front of her hurried over. The woman’s face was flushed as she asked, “Mr.
Shaw, did you call for me?”
Mia was taken aback.
Kennedy also stopped and clarified, “I didn’t summon you; I called for Mia.”
Nervously clearing her throat, Mia approached, noticing the woman’s displeased glare.
Mia understood her implication. After all, who could resist someone as handsome and wealthy as
Timothy?
He appeared to be the epitome of every woman’s dream man.
Stepping away from the crowd, Mia felt many eyes on her, most of them tinged with a hint of jealousy.
Mia let out a soft sigh, attributing it all to Timothy’s irresistible charm.
Quietly, she followed behind Kennedy, hoping to blend in as an inconspicuous follower.
However, Kennedy unexpectedly stepped aside and gestured for her to take the lead, saying, “Mia, why don’t you go ahead and
show Mr Barrett around the hall and introduce the design setup? After all, you’re
the most familiar with it.”
Mia’s marriage to Timothy made the funding from the Barrett Group toward Halvard University seem
unquestionably secure.
Contemplating this, Kennedy’s eyes gleamed with excitement. After all, Mia was also a student at this university. Certainly,
Timothy had every reason to invest.
Upon hearing Kennedy’s words, Mia hesitated, not wanting to approach Timothy. However, out of consideration for everyone
present, she gritted her teeth and walked up to him.
Lowering her gaze, Mia murmured, “Mr. Barrett, is there anything specific you’d like to know?”
Noticing Mia’s submissive demeanor, Timothy understood that it was merely a facade. He knew Mia was adept at concealing her
true intentions.
Timothy’s lips curled slightly as he spoke. “Please proceed with the introduction of the setup.”
Upon hearing this, Mia couldn’t shake the suspicion that Timothy intended to stir up trouble.
Nevertheless, acknowledging Timothy’s status as a distinguished guest at the university, Mia remained composed and
proceeded to introduce her design.
With time passing swiftly, Mia found herself on the verge of losing her voice from the constant talking.
As Timothy handed her a bottle of water, Mia couldn’t help but observe his fingers, which were long and
elegant.
Glancing at the bottle, Mia accepted it and took several gulps, feeling a wave of relief wash over her.
Turning to Timothy, she asked, “Mr. Barrett, do you have any more questions? If not, I’ll be going.”
Clutching the bottle. Timothy fixed his gaze on Mia. “I’ve never been aware of your interest in music
before.”
He hadn’t expected Mia to integrate musical concepts into the design of the hall. The design appeared somewhat youthful and
possessed a vibrant charm.
Timothy couldn’t deny Mia’s talent.
Mia hesitated briefly before responding. “I used to be more passionate about music when I was younger. but due to financial
constraints in my family, I had to let go of that interest.”
Indeed. Timothy was well acquainted with Mia’s family circumstances. “And what about now?” he inquired.
Mia replied calmly. “Well, I’ve found some time to delve into music now. After all, learning is a lifelong
journey.”
“So, is Claude your mentor?” Timothy’s tone grew cold.
Sensing his disapproval, Mia chose not to mention Claude further.
Glancing around the room and seeing they were a
yesterday, you know.”
“Yeah, I noticed,” Timothy replied casually.
Mia lowered her voice, “I tried calling you
Mia gritted her teeth. “If you noticed, why didn’t you return my call?”
“Well, if it’s truly urgent, you’d give me a second call,” Timothy remarked sarcastically, his gaze leaving
Mia unsettled.
She pursed her lips. “Given that you’re about to transfer all your assets to me, shouldn’t you be at least a bit concerned?”
