The people surrounding Timothy retreated backward.
One of the ladies looked at her. "Are you trying to flirt with him too? Get in line." Another lady chimed in, "Learn your manners. We cfirst." To Mia's surprise, the ladies started to pick on her.

He walked to her side without hesitation. "You'll forever be the first to me." Mia eyed the ladies. "Hear that? Leave, now." One of the ladies didn't give up. "Even if you don't have to get in line, we have the right to call for a fair competition. And I think you're misunderstanding something, miss. We're not here to steal your man. We're trying to offer him the opportunity to be a star.
"It doesn't matter what kind of relationship you have with him. I'm trying to convince him to sign with our company so that he can debut as a star. He'll hit it big!"

Romance was definitely not his cup of tea.
It was obvious that the nurse had noticed his good looks and decided to tend to his wound for free. Yet, he didn't accept her feelings.
Mia blurted, "Long story short, I did that not because of you. Also, you have to return to Bern City as soon as possible. Return to your position as the president of Barrett Group and find out which idiot decided to collaborate with the Bowen family."
