Timothy’s car had pulled up by the road. The paparazzi had their cameras aimed at
1. it.
The door opened, and Timothy got out. He wore a dark suit, and it made him look
mature and handsome. As soon as he got out, a pair of heels followed closely
behind. A woman in a white gown got out after him.
Mia watched as Maya got out of Timothy’s car. Obviously, they’d come together.
Her pupils constricted, and she felt a little gloomy. Still, she quickly composed
herself. It was only normal for them to come together. After all, they were supposed
to be a match made in heaven.
Liam opened the door. When he made his appearance, one of the paparazzi cried, ”
Linden Lane is here!”
The other paparazzi swarmed the car when they heard this. Liam kept a low profile and rarely made
public appearances when he wasn’t filming. He didn’t even shoot
many commercials, let alone accept interviews.
The paparazzi surrounded the car.
“Mr. Lane, why are you at the Fleur International Design Competition?”
“Mr. Lane, are you here for work or personal reasons?”
Liam stood by the door, looking calm. “This is a personal matter. Sorry, but could
you guys move back? Someone else needs to get out of the car. I don’t want you to
cramp her.”
The paparazzi shuffled backward and peered into the car curiously. Was there someone else in there?
Was it a woman? Was Liam going to announce his new
relationship?
At this moment, Mia cowered in the car. She didn’t dare to get out at all. She was caught off guard by
the sheer number of paparazzi surrounding the car.
Wasn’t Liam just a body double? Why were the paparazzi surrounding him? She

didn’t want to make such a high-profile entrance!
Mia looked out the window. She happened to catch Timothy and Maya standing
nearby. She could feel her headache worsening when she saw them.
Liam waited for a while longer, but Mia showed no sign of leaving the car. He bent down to knock on
the window. “What’s wrong?”
Judging from the crowd waiting outside, Mia knew there was no way for her to
avoid this. She took a deep breath before getting out. She had a pair of stilettos on, and the
champagne-colored dress showed off her figure. It also made her look like she was glowing.
“Watch your head.” Liam considerately put a hand on the door so she wouldn’t knock her head when
getting out.
The paparazzi’s cameras flashed at this scene. They were afraid of missing even a second of this.
Liam had never announced any relationships in the past, nor had he had any sort of interaction with
other women.
The fact that he was so concerned about Mia was enough to prove that this was his new relationship!
Mia stared at the paparazzi after getting out of the car. She didn’t really know what to do.
Fortunately, Liam was quick to react. He grabbed Mia’s hand and pulled her toward the venue.
Mia didn’t want the paparazzi to snap photos of her, so she hurried after Liam. The paparazzi were
barred from entering. Only then did she sigh in relief. “Why were those paparazzi snapping photos of
you, Liam?”
“Ahem. They mistook me for that famous actor. We do look alike, after all.” Liam could already lie
through his teeth about this. Paparazzi always mixed truth and lie in their articles, anyway. There was
nothing to worry about.
Mia relaxed. But as soon as she regained her composure, she felt a gaze land on her. She
subconsciously looked in the direction it was coming from to meet a dark gaze. It was calm but had the
ability to root her to her spot.

Mia quickly averted her gaze. Instead of looking at Timothy, she searched for her

seat.
Meanwhile, Timothy stood where he was as he watched Mia. His mood improved fractionally at the
sight of the champagne-colored dress she wore.
Then, his gaze turned icy again when he saw Liam beside Mia.
