The tension hung thick in the air, so tangible that even the driver beside him seemed to shrink into his seat. If he hadn't been the one behind the wheel, he might have preferred to be in the other car instead.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Mia decided to brush it aside and carry on her conversation with Dylan as if nothing was amiss. Meanwhile, Dylan remained oblivious to Timothy in the passenger seat.
With his extensive experience in the entertainment industry, Dylan knew that lacking the foresight and determination to seize opportunities could hinder his advancement.
Indeed, sopportunities were meant to be fought for.

Dylan kindly held the door open for Mia, remarking, "Mia, this restaurant has recently added sincredibly tasty new dishes to their menu. You'll see what I mean once you try them later." As Mia stepped out of the car, she caught sight of Timothy exiting from the passenger seat. Sensing the tension radiating from him, Mia pretended not to notice and continued walking toward the restaurant with Dylan.
After all, she was now single and had every right to dine with whomever she pleased.
As they strolled along, sharing laughter and conversation, Mia and Dylan couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling of being watched from behind.
Lowering his voice, Dylan remarked, "Mia, what's the deal with your bodyguard? There's something about the way he looks at us that gives off a strange vibe, almost as if he's intensely possessive. Could those media rumors be true?" Mia replied calmly, "All those rumors in the media are baseless. You know how it goes with entertainment news-it's all just gossip and speculation." "Why do I get the feeling that this bodyguard has a thing for you?" After all, men often had a knack for picking up on other men's intentions.
Mia was surprised. "You think he's into me?" "Yeah, the jealousy written all over his face was pretty obvious." But Mia shook her head. "No, it's not what you think. You're misunderstanding him. His expression wasn't fueled by jealousy or any interest in me." Dylan looked puzzled. "Then what was it?" Mia responded calmly, "It's because he's being pathetic." After all, Timothy had abandoned his prestigious CEO position in Bern City to beca mere bodyguard in Nord City. If that wasn't pathetic, then what was? Upon hearing Mia's words, Dylan fell silent for a moment, a hint of contemplation in his eyes. From Mia's tone, he could tell that her relationship with this bodyguard was far from straightforward.
Having known Mia for two years, Dylan had never witnessed her behavior around any other man like this.
It was becoming evident that Mia treated this bodyguard differently.
As Timothy trailed behind, he observed Mia and Dylan entering the private lounge. With a stern expression, he followed suit, stepping into the room as well.
After they settled in and placed their orders, Dylan shifted his attention to the stern-faced Timothy standing by the door. "Mia, since it's just the two of us dining, we don't really need your bodyguard here. It's a bit awkward." Dylan had intentionally said this, wanting Timothy out of the picture.
After all, he had to be ruthless when dealing with adversaries.
Clearing her throat, Mia proposed, "Maybe you could dine elsewhere for the tbeing." However, Timothy remained firm, his demeanor cold as he asserted, "As your bodyguard, ensuring your safety is my duty." Timothy wasn't comfortable leaving Mia alone in a room with another man.
