Chapter 226
Meet My Brothers
âDo you want me to wish you a household full of infertility and barrenness, then?â Mia countered.
âMaya, stop these petty games,â she continued sternly before turning away, showing no intention of
lingering any longer.
âMia, are you planning to sneak away? After all, this reality is undeniably harsh for you, isnât it?
âThe flowers I brought here are worth more than your annual salary. Thatâs the stark difference between
us!â
Maya taunted.
Mia turned around, her gaze calm and undisturbed.
âIf you want me to continue designing, thatâs fine. However, arenât you concerned that I might tamper
with
things and make you disappear without a trace?â she retorted.
Upon hearing Miaâs statement, Mayaâs expression grew uneasy.
With a forced bravado, she responded, âMia, you wouldnât dare! Just because you used those dirty
tricks
against Shelly doesnât mean Iâm as gullible as she is.â
Mia responded with a wry smile, âGo ahead, put it to the test. Since youâre not keen on making it easy
for me,
letâs just make it challenging for everyone, shall we?â
Through gritted teeth, Maya retorted, âIf you do that, the studio will also bear the responsibility!
Besides, you
didnât even know it was my order before you came today. You wouldnât dare to sabotage it.â
Despite their intense conflicts, Mia still adhered to professional ethics.
A cold smirk crept onto Miaâs face. âActually, there are a few safety concerns related to this wedding
design. I
observed them upon my arrival, and I intended to address them.
âHowever, since itâs your wedding, letâs just leave it at that. Embracing the path of no return as a couple
seems
to suit you perfectly.â
As Mia finished speaking, Mayaâs face paled.
With a smirk, Mia turned around and briskly walked away. If Maya intended to repulse her, Mia was
prepared
to return the favor.
Tomorrow marked Maya and Timothyâs engagement ceremony.
It was likely too late to alter the design and venue now. Once Maya saw the engagement setup, she
would
probably start contemplating where the safety hazards might be.
Finally exhaling, Mia swiftly walked away from the scene. She pulled out her phone and sent a
message to Felix: âFelix, something came up at home. Iâm leaving early.
âThe engagement venue design is almost done. Youâre in charge of keeping an eye on it.â
Mia had no intention of delving into the complex relationship between her and Maya with Felix.
+15 BONOS
However, to expect her to stay there and arrange the engagement venue for that couple was
something she
couldnât bring herself to do!
Soon enough, Felixâs call came in. âMia, why did you suddenly leave? Is something happening at
home? Is it
related to the demolition?â
âYeah, something along those lines,â Mia offered in a vague response.
Upon hearing this, Felixâs tone softened. âIf itâs something this important, you should go back and
handle it. Iâll take care of things here.â
Mia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Felix didnât press for more information.
Otherwise, she wouldnât know how to explain further.
Given that the contract for this order was already signed, canceling it was impractical at this stage.
Elaborating on the situation to Felix would have been awkward, so leaving it as it was seemed like the
best option.
As Mia stepped outside, she noticed a familiar car parked on the side of the road.
Wasnât that Connorâs car?
Has he not left yet?
Meanwhile, Connor was still on the phone with Dominic. Glancing up, he noticed Mia emerging.
âDominic, Iâll update you later. Miaâs on her way out. We can discuss it tonight.â
Mia approached Connor. The timing couldnât have been better. She had been worried about how to
leave the venue, given the challenge of finding a taxi in this area.
Fortunately, Connor hadnât left yet.
Suddenly, Mayaâs voice called out from behind, âMia, wait!â
