Timothy was at a loss for words. Of course he wouldn't do that. He looked as if someone punched the living daylights out of him as he snapped, "How dare you chat with him in front of me? Are you ignoring me?" The malice evident on Timothy's face stunned Brian.
Brian's puzzled gaze darted between Timothy and Mia as he asked, "Ms. Lane, who is this?" "I don't know him." Timothy looked at her. "Can you stop making a scene?" Mia glanced over at him and replied, "You're one to talk." Timothy turned toward Brian and said coldly, "She's my girlfriend. Do | need to make it any clearer?" However, Brian flashed a smile and replied, "Ms. Lane has many admirers. Countless men had shown up, claiming to be her boyfriend. I'll only believe you if she confirms it."

"Do you need my help?" Brian inquired.
Mia was overwhelmed by the overt tension in the air. To save Brian from any potential trouble, she finally said, "Not for now, thank you. See you in Nord City." Timothy frowned. How dare they schedule having a meal together in Nord City right in front of him? Was he practically invisible to them? Just then, Sofia asked tentatively, "Mr. Barrett?" "Get lost!" he snarled, visibly irritated.
Sofia had also noticed the unusual relationship between Timothy and Mia. She took her leave tactfully, steering clear of any trouble.
Composed, Mia sat in her seat and ate fruit. She could feel his piercing gaze on her as he scrutinized her.
She turned to him and asked innocently, "Why are you looking atlike that?" "Do you really have no idea?" Timothy clenched his jaw.

He loosened his tie and stared at her. "It's been four years, but you pissoff as easily as always." "| told you I lost my memories. | don't remember a thing from the past." "You might have lost your memories, but you've never forgotten that talent of yours," Timothy remarked.
Mia arched her brows. "Really? My brothers said I'm an angel. You're the only one who thinks | have a bad temper. Have you ever reflected on whether it's your problem?" Timothy was rendered speechless. Feeling resigned, he gave up on their argument.
Heath handed a few documents to him to work on after they finished their meal.
Feeling quite bored, Mia glanced over at the pile of documents on his desk and caught sight of the words "Aide Castle" among them.
She suddenly recalled that the Barrett family had intended to have a partnership with her. However, this issue was temporarily put on hold due to the bone marrow incident.
Mia couldn't help but probe. "Why do you have information on Aide Castle? Are you planning to collaborate with them?"
