Chapter 123
Spotting that familiar figure from behind, Mia initially doubted her own eyes.
Why would Timothy be here?
Maya approached him cheerfully and quipped, “Tim, what brings you here today?”
Timothy, clad in a sharp dark suit, was surrounded by a group of individuals who stood with a sense of
formality and order.
Timothy remained impassive toward Maya. As Timothy’s gaze wandered past her, he caught sight of
Mia, and a hint of confusion shadowed his expression.
Quick to explain, Maya said, “I’ve been considering a home renovation, and Ms. Bowen’s design studio
is renowned for its expertise.”
“Though I enlisted her services, I didn’t anticipate her making a personal visit today,” she quickly
added.
Shelly directed Mia, “Mia, why are you lingering outside? Come in and help us with the selection.”
Steeling herself, Mia approached, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Timothy.
Maintaining professionalism, Mia inquired, “Ms. Lane, what specifications are you seeking in a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmattress?”
Maya turned to Timothy, seeking his input. “Tim, which mattress collection would you recommend?
Which one promises the utmost comfort?”
Timothy gestured to the store manager beside him, saying, “Please, go ahead and show us around.”
The store manager eagerly stepped forward, elaborating on the features of different mattress
collections.
Meanwhile, Mia felt uncomfortably cold due to the mall’s air conditioning, experiencing both shivers and
a growing sense of queasiness.
After the manager’s pitch, Maya deliberately shifted her gaze to Mia, prompting, “Ms. Bowen, what are
your thoughts?”
Although Mia missed most of the store manager’s presentation due to her discomfort, she mustered a
polite smile, responding, “Honestly, any could suffice, depending on your preferences,”
Maya insisted, “But as our designer, I’d value your recommendation, Ms. Bowen.”
Mia impulsively gestured toward a mattress, only to suddenly feel a hush fall around her. It appeared
that numerous onlookers had turned their attention her way.
Trying to maintain her poise, Mia tried to decipher the description of her chosen mattress. It read,
“Oversized latex water bed, designed to enhance intimacy.”
A wave of realization washed over Mia–she had unintentionally selected a rather risqué mattress.
Suppressing her laughter with a hand over her mouth, Maya turned to Timothy, jesting, “Tim, what’s
your take

Shelly chimed in playfully, “Mia, you truly have a knack for choosing. Perhaps that’s why you’re such a
hit with
the men.”
With a pointed stare, Maya cautioned, “Shelly, let’s refrain from baseless remarks.”
“Well, it appears that some individuals dare to act but lack the bravery to acknowledge it,” Shelly
remarked with a hint of disdain.
Growing tired of Shelly’s insinuations, Mia furrowed her brow, trying to redirect the conversation. “Ms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLane, have you settled on a choice?”
Exasperated, Shelly interjected, “Mia, are you planning to leave already? Is this the level of service we
should expect from your studio?”
Maya added, “Plus, we haven’t finalized the details for the photo wall.”
Suddenly, Mia’s vision darkened. In a moment of panic, she reached out to steady herself. She
inadvertently clutched someone’s wrist, and managed to regain her balance.
Upon reopening her eyes, she murmured a feeble “Thanks.”
“Your complexion looks concerning,” a deep voice replied.
Realizing it was Timothy’s voice, Mia was surprised to find she had unwittingly grabbed his hand.
As she attempted to pull away, he firmly held onto her wrist and instructed, “Sit down.”
At this moment, Shelly angrily turned around and exclaimed, “Mia, what are you doing? Let go right
now!”
Noticing Mia and Timothy’s intertwined hands, Maya’s expression tensed.
Mia swiftly pulled her hand away from Timothy’s grasp, meeting his gaze with a reserved demeanor.
“I’m fine. This is just part of my job,” she asserted.
