Meet My Brothers
âMia, despite that, thereâs no need for you to resign.
âThe working environment here is quite laidâback, and you shouldnât perceive it as unfair to your
colleagues, considering the differences in your circumstances.â
Mia looked up in surprise as Felix added, âMia, given our shared experiences, I believe you can sense
my feelings for you. Do you share similar sentiments?â
âIâm sorry, Felix, but Iâve always seen you as a friend only,â Mia straightforwardly turned down Felix.
A glimmer of disappointment flickered in Felixâs eyes, tinged with a subtle hint of reluctance.
After a brief pause, he finally voiced his thoughts, âMia, what if we find a middle ground? You could
transition to working on weekends instead.
âYour incredible talent has brought numerous orders to our studio, and a sudden resignation would
undeniably have a negative impact.
âPlease, consider it for the sake of our friendship. Can you perhaps commit to coming in on
weekends?â Felix negotiated.
Miaâs gaze softened as she noticed the scar on Felixâs head. âAlright.â
Upon hearing this, Felix let out a sigh of relief. âMia, regarding my momâs mistake yesterday,
please donât harbor any ill feelings toward her.â
Mia reassured him, âDonât worry. Itâs not an issue.â
With those words, she returned to her seat, appearing somewhat distracted. The looming
prospect of Lauraâs surgery tomorrow left her feeling a bit nervous.
In the evening, Mia patiently waited for Connor to finish work before broaching the topic of Lauraâs
situation.
Maintaining a calm demeanor, Connor reassured her, âLately, Mrs. Barrett Seniorâs health has
remained stable.
âAssuming the surgery goes according to plan, there shouldnât be any complications. You can put
your mind at ease.â
A sigh of relief escaped Mia. That was reassuring news.

The next morning, Mia prepared early for her visit to the hospital.
Taken aback by her early rising, Patricia inquired, âWhy are you up so early? Donât your Monday
lectures typically commence in the afternoon?â
Mia hesitated before responding, âAunt Patricia, Grandma Laura is undergoing surgery today. I need to
go and check on her.â
âYou should go. I hope everything goes smoothly for Mrs. Barrett Senior. Sheâs a wonderful person. Iâm
confident sheâll be fine.â
Mia endured a restless night, clinging to the hope that Lauraâs surgery would unfold without
complications.
In the taxi on the way to the hospital, Miaâs stomach began to rumble. It felt as if her twins were staging
another protest.
With no alternative, Mia stopped by a nearby shop to grab some breakfast.
As she entered the hospital, a sports car suddenly raced by at high speed, narrowly avoiding a collision
with her.
Startled, Mia swiftly dodged to the side, unintentionally spilling her soy milk on the ground.
After parking her sports car, Maya emerged, casting an arrogant look at Mia. âMia, I always thought you
were fearless, but it seems there are times when you feel afraid too.â
Observing Maya stepping out of the car, Miaâs gaze noticeably darkened.
She instinctively reached down, comforting the twins nestled within her belly. In the moments that
followed, she grabbed the spilled soy milk and hurled it at Mayaâs sports car.
The soy milk splattered across the carâs interior, creating a messy scene.
Maya stood in shock, angrily retorting, âMia, have you lost your mind? Do you realize how
expensive my sports car is? It would take you a decade of labor just to afford it.â
Without hesitation, Mia raised her hand and seized Mayaâs hair, locking eyes with her in a cold,
unwavering gaze.
