Chapter 857 Mia made her way into the living room of the villa. She was well aware that Timothy wouldn't easily relent if he didn't get to see Ginger.

Taking a seat, she began, "Remember that evening at the banquet when you saved me from falling? The media exaggerated the situation, suggesting something improper between me and a bodyguard.

"It almost reached my brothers, but luckily, I was able to divert their suspicions. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me." Timothy stood resolutely before her.

"So, the best way to handle this before your brothers find out is to take me to see Ginger."

"I'll find time for it later. Currently, there's always someone around Ginger, and Eva visits the hospital | daily. If you show up, it will surely attract attention." Persisting, Timothy asked, "How long is 'later'?" "In the next few days. I'll figure something out." Mia's response was evasive. She wasn't sure how to arrange the meeting with Ginger.

Timothy scrutinized her, his gaze narrowing. "Mia, what else aren't you telling me?" "I'm not keeping anything from you," Mia asserted. "I mentioned I'll arrange for you to see Ginger later, but I need to find the right opportunity. If my

brothers catch wind of this, they'll prevent you from seeing her altogether." S— | Meeting Timothy's gaze, Mia added, "If you doubt me, there's not much I can do." Timothy analyzed her expression, searching for any hint of deceit, but found none.

Though he found Mia's behavior concerning Ginger peculiar, he lacked evidence to support his suspicions.

Without his phone and with everyone around him absent, he currently had no chance to investigate this matter.

Meanwhile, despite her outward composure, Mia was fraught with anxiety. €

After a moment of silence, Timothy spoke up, "I'd like to go to the mall." — "Why the sudden interest in the mall?" Mia inquired.

""To buy some gifts for Ginger," he responded.

Mia nodded and gave Timothy a quick once-over. "I hate to break it to you, but do you even have any money on you at the moment?" Timothy met her gaze squarely. "I may not have money right now, but you do." Upon hearing Timothy's confident words, Mia crossed her legs and retorted, "But we're already divorced.

Why should I be shelling out money for you?"

Timothy seemed rather naive in his approach.

Meeting Mia's gaze, he calmly iE suggested, "Think of it as a loan to me.

I'll repay you double in the future.

Money isn't an issue for me, and I can handle it." His audacity was truly something to behold.

However, Timothy's claims were true; he certainly wasn't lacking in financial resources.

Despite this, Mia wasn't willing to concede to his request.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Barrett, but I have a personal policy against lending money.

It's better to avoid situations that could strain our friendship," Mia stated intentionally, a smirk playing on

her lips.

Timothy wasn't oblivious to Mia's deliberate attempt to complicate matters for him. Unfazed, he calmly responded, "But as your bodyguard, I should still be entitled to a salary, shouldn't 1?" "Of course, there's a salary, but it's paid on a monthly basis. You've only just started two days ago. Do you think it's appropriate to ask for your salary now?" Upon hearing Mia's response, Timothy simply sank into the sofa, his long legs crossed, exuding a relaxed demeanor.

Observing his composed yet mischievous expression, Mia couldn't help but anticipate what he was about to say. |

yp Sheeting "Even with just two days of service, you're obligated to compensate me in accordance with labor laws," Timothy | asserted firmly.

"And let's not forget the numerous times I've come to your rescue during these past two days. Surely, that counts for something, doesn't it?" Feeling somewhat uneasy, Mia swiftly glanced at Peyton beside her and questioned, "Is there any precedent for paying a bodyguard after only two days of work?" Understanding her implication, Peyton responded calmly, "Ms. Mia, there's no such precedent. Typically, employees must work at least seven days before they're eligible for a salary advance.

Two days is simply too short a duration."
