Heath glanced over at the placement of the picture frame.
“Wouldn’t it be too obvious here?”
“It’s solely for Grandma to see.”
Heath was confused, feeling as if he was incapable of understanding Timothy’s ways.

It had been hard for Mia to focus for the past few days. After all, she had yet to receive the payment despite
completing the project.
However, she felt so embarrassed whenever she recalled the kissing incident in the hall.
‘ve completed your million
Wilhelmina approached with a cup of coffee as she taunted. “It’s been days after -dollar project, haven’t you? Where’s the
remaining payment? Could it be that you’ve pissed him off, and now you’ve ended up with nothing?”
Mia took her phone and went outside.
She called Heath, “Erm it’s nothing much, but I just wanted to ask when are you going to make payment?”
“Mrs. Barrett, please hold on. I’ll ask Mr. Barrett.”
When Heath informed Timothy about this, he said coldly in his chair, “Why did she ask you? Are you the one who’s paying her?”
“I-I’m not so sure about this either. Maybe she couldn’t get to you?”
Timothy sneered at his response. He took out his phone, and it was obvious that it had signal. There weren’t any missed calls on
his phone either.
It was already clear that Mia didn’t want to call him on purpose. Did she think he would owe her money?
Coldly, he stated, “Ask her to come collect her payment here.”
Heath felt like he was thrust into a difficult situation. Whenever things went downhill for them, he would always be the one who
would end up in trouble.
When Mia got Heath’s call, she was furious. Yet, she had to do as he said because Wilhelmina was so eager for her downfall.
Moreover, she needed money.
Well, why would she fear Timothy? If he wanted her to come, so be it.
After Mia packed her things, she called a cab and headed straight to Barrett Group.

Discarding these negative thoughts, she went to the reception and told them her identity. Then, she took the

Mia marched toward the office. Just as she opened the door, she realized there was another person inside.
Maya was on the couch. Her expression froze in an instant when she saw her.
“What are you doing here? Where’s security?”
Mia wasn’t expecting to bump into Maya as well. She glanced over at the thermal flask on the table and knew she was probably
here to deliver homemade food to Timothy.
Maya looked like someone had punched the living daylights out of her.
“Get lost! You shouldn’t be here.”
Mia strode in boldly.
“I came in here just like how you did. Why should I go?”
After she said so, she took a seat right across from Maya.
She should not have felt intimidated. After all, she was merely here to collect her payment.
Maya’s blood was boiling. Her waist was still hurting. Mia was really an insane bitch!
If she weren’t trying to look nice in front of Timothy, she would’ve asked her brother to teach Mia a lesson.
Mia glanced over at the thermal flask, smelling something from it.
“Chicken soup?”
Looking proud, Maya immediately boasted, “This is the ultimate chicken soup with lots of splendid herbs. It’s one of the recipes
from my brother’s hospital. This is the real deal, compared to someone who only knows how to make rib stew.”
With a faint smile, Mia retorted, “It’s such a pity Timothy doesn’t like this. I think he prefers my rib stew instead. Don’t you think
he’s just a masochist?”
Just as she said the last word, Maya glanced behind her and said, “Timothy.”
Mia swallowed hard. She knew she was going to be so unfortunate this year.
