Mia glanced at the name on the business card: "CEO of Keystone Construction."She remembered the company well, having previously assisted Timothy in delivering some documents to them.Back then, the president of Keystone Construction had approached Timothy with an investment proposal for a golf course project.Surprisingly, Timothy had turned down the offer.Yet, Mia later discovered that the golf course had been developed after all.She recalled overhearing Timothy discuss certain issues related to that specific piece of land."Ms. Bowen, I have no concerns with these design drafts—they all look promising to me," Keegan remarked."Let's shift gears for a moment. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What are your interests?" he continued.Upon hearing this, Mia sensed something was amiss.She stood up and said, "Mr. Stewart, if you haven't settled on the design yet, let's discuss it when you've made your decision."After concluding her words and attempting to leave, she discovere

"A dare to make a random call?" Timothy exclaimed, yanking at his tie in frustration.He had forsaken several million-dollar deals to hurry over, genuinely worried about Mia, only to find out it was just a game of truth or dare.Timothy was furious."Mia, you've truly outdone yourself this time. Seriously, next time, even if you're on your deathbed, just save yourself the trouble of calling me!" With that, he angrily turned around and stormed back to his car.Mia hesitated to bring up her unsettling encounter with Keegan at the villa. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Timothy would ridicule her if she decided to share the details.At that moment, Mia spotted a luxurious car making its way out of the villa community.As the car window rolled down, she found herself locking eyes with Keagan, who shot a glaring look in her direction.Instantly, a wave of apprehension swept over Mia.She hurried over to Timothy, who was on the verge of getting into his car, and warped her arms around

Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed on the car window.Wearing a stern expression, Timothy rolled it down and asked, "Who is it?""I'm the traffic officer for this area, and parking is not permitted here. I recommend relocating to a nearby hotel." A middle-aged man in a bright fluorescent uniform asserted, appearing well aware of the situation.Seeing the uniformed officer, Mia instinctively covered her face, overwhelmed with embarrassment.Timothy straightened up, his serious demeanor unwavering.Responding swiftly, Rodger and Heath rushed over, efficiently moving the car from its unauthorized spot.Yet, an air of awkwardness lingered inside the car.Rodger and Heath wished they could simply vanish at that moment.Timothy bore a stern expression, his appearance disheveled. His tie was carelessly tossed aside, and his collar hung loosely, marked by creases on his shoulders.In a corner, Mia took a moment to collect herself. She discreetly glanced at Heath in the passenger seat and whispered

"Fine, if that's how you all want to behave, just wait and see!" Fiona grumbled before storming out.With Fiona's departure, a sense of calm returned to the studio. However, Mia couldn't shake the feeling of her colleagues' peculiar stares, leaving her somewhat uneasy.Breaking the silence, Felix suggested, "How about we all disperse? I'll take responsibility for safeguarding the rights of our female employees in the company."Feeling relieved, Mia expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Felix, for believing in me.""Of course, I have complete faith in you. Work situations can be tricky, but I'll take charge of this matter. We can forgo this design order." Felix assured.Nodding, Mia agreed. "I apologize for any inconvenience. Nonetheless, I have already secured the design order."Felix's expression betrayed a hint of surprise. "Really?"Caught off guard by the unfolding events, Felix was taken aback to learn that Mia had confirmed the design order yesterday."Yes, it's true, but there's

Timothy had already extended an olive branch to Mia. Why didn't she simply express her need for help?During her previous call seeking Timothy's assistance, she had employed sweet talk, consistently addressing him as "darling" to win him over.With a hint of hesitation, Heath asked, "So, Mr. Barrett, what should we do now?" "Must I spell it out for you? Get that trending topic taken down!" Timothy snapped, his frustration evident.Heath immediately complied, but before long, feedback from his subordinates reached him.Heath seemed perplexed as he reported, "Mr. Barrett, there's already been a request for the removal of the trending topic on their end, and the popularity has dwindled."Wearing a stern expression, Timothy inquired, "Who made the request?""It was Mr. Linden Lane from Nord City, also known as Liam."Upon hearing that name, Timothy's mood turned sour. "Why are you just standing there? Keep investigating who's behind all of this."For Timothy, the removal of a trending top
