Mia was taken aback by the slippery floor and exclaimed in alarm.
“Watch out!”
“Mia!”
Both Timothy and Jeremy reacted swiftly, extending their arms to catch her.
Instinctively. Mia reached out and grabbed onto them. She couldn’t help but
notice a muffled grunt from
Timothy, a clear indication of pain.
Looking down, she realized she had inadvertently grabbed Timothy's injured right
hand from the night of the accident during the heavy rain.
Timothy had shielded her during an abrupt stop in the car, injuring his arm in the
process. It seemed his
arm hadn't fully healed yet.
Mia promptly released Timothy's arm and reached for Jeremy's arm to steady
herself; she wanted to
avoid any further injury to Timothy's hand.
However, Timothy perceived this scene differently.
Observing Mia let go of his hand and lean toward another man, Timothy's gaze
hardened, and his mood
turned sour.
Timothy cast a displeased glance at Jeremy. Why did it consistently seem as
though men were always appearing by Mia's side, displacing one, only for
another to take his place?
In the past, there was the studio owner. What was his name again? And now,
there was someone new?
After regaining her balance, Mia let out a relieved sigh and looked up at Jeremy.
“Thanks for helping me
just now.”
Jeremy felt somewhat embarrassed. “You don't have to thank me. The floor in
this diner can get slippery. Especially with Cagon cuisine, it tends to be a bit oily.”
Now, Jeremy was starting to regret his choice of bringing Mia and Timothy here.
“You shouldn't say that. It's been a long time since I've been to this diner. It's nice
to come back and
reminisce,” Mia said.

In reality, Mia had a preference for lighter flavors. Nonetheless, her initial
intention was simply to gauge Timothy's reaction. She never anticipated ending
up flat on her back.
She stole a glance back at Timothy. Despite his coughing having subsided, a
subtle flush lingered on his complexion, his brows knit in discomfort.
It was evident he wasn’t accustomed to the pungent air saturated with paprika.
The three of them proceeded to a private room on the second floor, where the
environment was slightly
better.
Jeremy promptly handed over the menu. “Mia, feel free to order whatever you
like.”

was mindful of avoiding overly spicy dishes, opting instead for lighter vegetarian
options.
Jeremy swiftly handed the menu to Timothy, adopting a conciliatory tone. “Mr.
Barrett, why don't you select a few dishes as well?"
Timothy glanced at the dishes Mia had chosen-light options that matched his
usual preference for milder flavors. It seemed Mia was still looking out for him.

Jeremy paused, acknowledging. “Well, it seems like Mia has a good

preferences.”

Mia looked puzzled. She clearly had
no idea of his preferences. Why was
he making assumptions? She had
ordered for herself, without taking

Nevertheless, Mia hadn't anticipated Timothy to be so brazen.
After placing their orders, the room fell into silence.
Sitting between the two men, Mia remained quiet, sensing Timothy's gaze on her.
Feeling a bit uneasy, she turned to Jeremy and asked, “So, what brought you to
campus today?”
