Connie inwardly scoffed, questioning whether this penniless bodyguard could truly be the CEO of Barrett Group. Something about the situation didn't sit right with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Lewis erupted into laughter. "Mom, what on earth are you talking about? This man clearly isn't the CEO of Barrett Group. Mia, it seems like your deception has been uncovered, hasn't it?" Mia blinked in confusion. "What do you mean? Shouldn't Caleb be able to confirm Timothy's identity?" "Are you saying he's Caleb? Please, let's not joke around. I've met Mr. Gomez before. This man is definitely not Caleb," Lewis insisted.
In a fleeting moment, Mia and Caleb exchanged a meaningful glance.
Pointing to himself, Caleb said, "If I'm not Caleb Gomez, then who is?" "Okay, young man, you can stop the charade. I know you're just an actor Mia hired at the last minute. Perhaps you're even her bodyguard, posing as Mr. Gomez to vouch for the identity of this penniless bodyguard. But I bet you didn't anticipate that I've actually met the real Mr. Gomez, did you?" Lewis countered.
Mia was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe hadn't anticipated Lewis, of all people, to have encountered Caleb before. But was the person Lewis met truly Caleb? Now, she was becoming increasingly suspicious that someone was impersonating both Timothy and Caleb.
Caleb was perplexed. "You think I'm a bodyguard? That's absurd. I couldn't possibly be a bodyguard, especially not like speople." He certainly didn't need to beca bodyguard to get close to someone.
Of course, Caleb didn't vocalize the second half of the sentence.
Connie interjected, "Enough with the charade. It's clear you're here to play a role. You say you're Caleb Gomez, but do you even know who Caleb is? "He's the heir to the second wealthiest family in Bern City-the Gomez family. How could he possibly be a bodyguard like you?" Caleb arched his eyebrows in disbelief. Since when did the Gomez family becthe second most prominent household in Bern City? Who was responsible for assigning this ranking? Turning to Mia, Caleb quipped, "Where did you dig up these fools?" Mia let out a weary sigh. "It's a long story. I assumed you could confirm Tim's identity, but I never imagined they wouldn't even recognize you." ewis quickly interjected, "Mia, c›n, cutsslack. The Bowen amily is on the verge of partnering vith the Barrett family. How could I not recognize them?" Content elongs to english"It's clear you've dragged in impostors to pretend to be Mr. Barrett and Mr. Gomez solely to salvage your pathetic reputation.
"Now that I've exposed your little facade, you're scrambling in t embarrassment, desperately trying to shift the blby insinuating I don't know them." "Yeah, Lewis, Mia's obviously bluffing," Connie chimed in.
Caleb turned to Mia, saying, "Honestly, you don't need to prove our identities to such dimwits. Don't you feel like your intelligence is taking a nosedive dealing with them?" Mia fell silent for a moment. "You're right. I see that now." What prompted her sudden insistence? Why did she feel compelled to prove Timothy's identity to the Bowen family? Mia found herself feeling misled, unable to shake the sense that the Bowens' antics had indeed muddled her mental clarity. With a smug expression, Connie retorted, "Well, well, well. Looks like Mia's been proven wrong. No more excuses, huh?" Mia conceded with a nod. "Fine, you win, I lose. Are you satisfied?" "Well, Mia, considering you can't prove your bodyguard's identity, it's only logical for you to admit defeat." Just as Connie finished speaking, Timothy, who had remained silent, interjected, "Who said we can't prove it?"
