Chapter 843
Timothy immediately sensed Chuck's ulterior motives toward Mia. There was no way he would allow him to enter.
With a stern expression, Timothy retorted, "I couldn't care less about money. You'd better leave!" If this were Bern City, Timothy would have dealt with Chuck long ago! Chuck's demeanor shifted abruptly. "Hey buddy, don't embarrass yourself. You're a Zalantis bodyguard, right? Let's see what you're capable of today. Take him down!" With that, Chuck strode forward with two other bodyguards by his side, clearly intent on forcing their way in.
Timothy remained unfazed. He swiftly gained the upper hand against the two accompanying bodyguards, overpowering them effortlessly.
Witnessing Timothy's impressive skills and recalling his past as an assassin from Zalantis, Chuck's bravado wavered. He becagitated and threatened, "You filthy bodyguard, mark my words! If you dare to provoke me, you'll regret it!" After Chuck departed, Timothy remained standing in silence, his hand instinctively reaching to massage his arm. It seemed that the scuffle moments earlier had aggravated an old injury.
He waited patiently outside the room for a while, but Mia didn't emerge. Was changing clothes supposed to take this long? Concern crept in as he knocked on the door. "Mia, are you done?" Silence greeted him from inside.
Recalling Chuck's earlier behavior, Timothy's worry intensified. What if something had happened to Mia? Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and entered the room.
Finding it empty, he proceeded to the nearby restroom. Knocking on the door, he called out, "Mia, are you okay?" As Timothy pushed open the restroom door, he was met with the sight of Mia's bare back, her dress caught at her slender waist.
Timothy stood frozen in place, completely taken aback by the unexpected scene unfolding before him. Flustered, his Adam's Apple bobbed up and down nervously.
Hearing someone barging in, Mia whirled around and exclaimed, "Timothy, what are you doing here? Get out!" Startled, Timothy quickly averted his gaze. "I'm sorry, I thought there was an emergency." "Well, I do have a bit of a situation here," Mia admitted.
Attempting to fix the zipper of her dress, Mia struggled in vain. Despite her efforts, the zipper remained stuck. With a hint of resignation, Mia finally said, "Timothy, close your eyes and cin." Taken aback by her request, Timothy turned his head toward her, but Mia's firm command echoed in the room, "Close your eyes and no peeking!" Obediently, Timothy shut his eyes. Turning around, he asked somewhat helplessly, "So, what do you needto do?" "Take three steps forward," Mia instructed.
As Timothy followed her command, he felt something beneath his foot, suddenly realizing he might have stepped on Mia's dress. "What are you doing?" Mia suddenly exclaimed.
Reacting swiftly, Timothy opened his eyes and reached out to steady Mia as she stumbled forward.
Blushing furiously, Mia covered her chest and glared at him. Timothy ets do you intentionally step on my dis dress?" she said through gritted teeth. .
Mia had initially asked Timothy to cin and assist with fixing the zipper on the back of her dress.
She had only requested him to take three steps forward, but unexpectedly, Timothy had stepped directly onto her dress with one foot, causing her to nearly lose her balance! .
And worst of all, her body had almost been exposed! Timothy glanced down at Mia in his arms and remarked, "You instructedto take three steps forward." "But I didn't mean for you to take such large strides. The bathroom is small; why would you take such big steps?" "Are you blamingfor this?" "Of course I am! Whose fault do you think it is?" "Fine, I'll release you then." "Wait, wait!" Mia hastily reached out and grabbed his arm. "You can't let go just yet!" .
Observing her embarrassed expression, a hint of semenom flickered in Timothy's eyes. "Then, how would you liketo hold you?" .
