Upon hearing this, Timothy remained unfazed. He turned to Mia and remarked, "Since the paparazzi have already captured rumors about us, would there be compensation if I had a casual chat with them now?"Mia clenched her teeth, cautioning, "Timothy, you're overstepping your bounds."Timothy maintained his composure as he continued, "If you want me to stay silent, it's quite simple. Just provide me with the salary I'm owed."Ultimately, Mia yielded and instructed Peyton to issue Timothy his wages for the two days. After all, Timothy had kept his end of the bargain.In this critical moment, Mia couldn't afford any information to leak to the media.Taking the 50 dollars, Timothy offered Mia a wry smile. "Is this the standard rate for being your bodyguard?"Peyton intervened to explain, "That's because you're still in a trial period. Once your employment is official, your salary will double. For now, this is the rate."Timothy remained silent as he pocketed the 50 dollars. Nonchalantly, he

Timothy lowered his gaze and glanced at Mia, asking, "So, what's your offer?"Meeting Timothy's suggestive gaze, Mia swiftly adjusted her expression, retorting, "You're mistaken. I'm a person of integrity!"Shortly afterward, the store attendant arrived with a small toy, stating, "This toy is on sale for exactly 50 dollars. It's the least expensive item in our store and also a suitable gift for you, sir."Glancing at the modest toy, Mia couldn't help but notice its simplicity compared to the lavish gifts Timothy had previously selected for Ginger.Without hesitation, Timothy picked up the toy and placed 50 dollars in cash on the table, declaring, "I'll take it."Mia was surprised by Timothy's sudden decisiveness. She hadn't realized Timothy could be so flexible and accommodating.Mia turned to the attendant nearby and asked, "Now that he's finished shopping, could you help me gather some items I need?"Having decided to visit Ginger in the hospital, Mia realized she needed to prepare s

Upon hearing Jason's inquiry, Mia hurried to explain, her tone betraying a hint of nervousness. "Oh, that rumor? It's merely media exaggeration. "I had a minor slip, and my bodyguard assisted me. I suspect the Bowen family is behind this, attempting to smear my reputation.""I see. Rest assured, I'll handle it."Mia felt a wave of relief as Jason seemed to accept her explanation without any hint of suspicion. Yet, she knew she couldn't conceal Timothy's presence indefinitely.Beside Mia, Timothy overheard her conversation with Jason. Her tone and demeanor were noticeably different; it was evident that Mia shared a close relationship with her family.Turning to him, Mia asked, "If I arrange for you to visit Ginger in the hospital, will you agree to leave Nord City?"Timothy's gaze narrowed slightly as he responded, "Certainly. As long as Ginger is healthy, everything is open for discussion."However, Timothy's reply merely hinted at the possibility of negotiation; he didn't outright pr

As Mia was about to leave, Dylan came up to her and said, "Mia, it's been a while since we last saw each other. We discussed grabbing a meal together previously. How about we celebrate today? Let's toast to the movie's box office success in advance.""Sure, sounds good," Mia replied, her mood considerably lifted by now.However, as soon as she accepted Dylan's invitation, Mia felt a sudden chill. She turned slightly, catching sight of Timothy's darkening expression.Following her gaze, Dylan's eyes settled on Timothy, who stood behind Mia with a stern countenance, his eyes concealed behind sunglasses.Despite the shades, Timothy's striking features and athletic build were unmistakable.Dylan couldn't help but suspect that Timothy was the bodyguard who had been the subject of recent media buzz.As Dylan glanced at Timothy, a hint of complexity flickered in his eyes. He casually remarked, "Mia, is this that handsome bodyguard of yours? He looks even better in person than in photos."Mia

Upon catching sight of Mia's cheerful expression in the rearview mirror, a wave of emotions stirred within Timothy. He couldn't believe how happily she was chatting with Dylan!Suddenly, a twinge of jealousy gnawed at Timothy's heart.The tension hung thick in the air, so tangible that even the driver beside him seemed to shrink into his seat. If he hadn't been the one behind the wheel, he might have preferred to be in the other car instead.Despite the tense atmosphere, Mia decided to brush it aside and carry on her conversation with Dylan as if nothing was amiss.Meanwhile, Dylan remained oblivious to Timothy in the passenger seat.With his extensive experience in the entertainment industry, Dylan knew that lacking the foresight and determination to seize opportunities could hinder his advancement.Indeed, some opportunities were meant to be fought for.An hour later, they arrived at the restaurant.Dylan kindly held the door open for Mia, remarking, "Mia, this restaurant has recentl
