Mia paused for a moment after hearing Timothy's voice. Why was he still around?
She turned to look at him. "Everything's fine. It's just that there are quite a few company affairs to be handled today."
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, thanks. It's getting late. Mr. Barrett, if there's nothing else, you may leave," Mia said.
Timothy grasped the meaning of her words. "I'm waiting for you to get off work," he said bluntly.
Mia raised her brows. Didn't Timothy know that she was chasing him away?
However, Timothy stood rooted to the spot, as though he did not understand what she just said.
Mia knew he was pretending.
"As you can see, a lot of things happened today. I have to work overtime and might get off work very late. You don't have to wait for me."
Timothy let out a faint sigh. "I don't mind waiting for you no matter how late it will be."
Mia was at her wits' end.
She turned to Peyton and said, "Let's go."
Peyton was confused. "Where are we going? Haven't you already finished instructing me about work just now?"
Mia's expression seemed a little uneasy. "We're going to work overtime. So much has happened today, so I have to keep an eye on things."
Peyton understood and nodded. "Oh… I see."
Mia glanced at her naive secretary. He was quick-witted normally, but why was he dense now?
Mia walked to the office and looked at Peyton. "Peyton, do you know that a secretary could lose his job if he doesn't have good common sense or can't read the room?"
Peyton was aggrieved as he explained, "Ms. Lane, according to your usual work schedule, you have never worked this late. I've said nothing wrong. Could it be that I guessed right? Are you avoiding Mr. Barrett?"
Mia denied it immediately. "Are you kidding me? When did I avoid Timothy? Why would I do that?"
After saying that, Mia sat in a chair and picked up a document. But she couldn't focus on it.

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
More chapters please & conclusion in sight?...
Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...
More chapters please...
Please update all the chapters...
I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
