After some thought, Mia answered, “Mr. Barrett’s my cousin–a distant cousin of mine!”
She felt him gazing suggestively at her, but she didn’t spare him a glance. She had no idea what he
was up to.
Felix gladly accepted her explanation. Them being cousins made sense to him, since he was aware
that Mia was also related to the Lane family in Nord City. After all, it wasn’t uncommon for the upper
crust to be closely related to each other. Thus, it didn’t arouse his suspicion. Instead, he was quite
pleased with Mia’s background.
If Mia got together with him in the future, he’d be closely acquainted with both the Lane and Barrett
families.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOverwhelmed with excitement, he chattered. “Let’s stop crowding at the entrance. Mr. Barrett, this way
please.”
Timothy narrowed his eyes before casting Mia a look. Then, he spun around and followed them to the
private room.
Mia went along with heavy steps. She had lost her appetite.
After they all took their seats, Felix handed the menu to Timothy quickly, saying. “Mr. Barrett, you can
order first.”
Timothy took the menu, but he passed it to Mia instead.
“Mia, you go ahead.”
His unexpected move almost made Mia choke on her own spit. Looking at the menu before her. she
knew he did that on purpose.
Janice, who sat beside her, urged, “Mia, hurry up! Mr. Barrett’s being polite, and you don’t want to
be rude.”
Mia swallowed and took the menu from Timothy. She wasn’t really paying attention to it, so she
merely ordered two dishes.
Just then, Janice grabbed the menu.
“Mia, this isn’t it! Mr. Barrett’s our VIP guest, we should order something more extravagant for him. For
example, escargots! You don’t have to worry about the bill. Felix can definitely afford it.
Mia felt extremely awkward. She desperately wanted to escape the situation.

Janice ordered a lot of food, but most of them were spicy. Mia knew Timothy didn’t particularly enjoy
spicy food, so instinctively she said, “Mrs. Quilter, can you order something mild? Mr. Barrett doesn’t
really prefer spicy food, light food is more to his liking.”
The room fell into silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly then did Mia realize what she had just said. She’d blurted that out because she realized none
of the dishes Janice ordered complied with Timothy’s preference.
Both Timothy and Felix looked at her. Her heart stalled before she explained, “Mr. Barrett’s my
cousin, of course I know his preferences for food.”
Timothy shot her a suggestive glance, playing along. “How considerate of you, Mia. I didn’t know you
knew about my food preference that well.”
Mia’s smile stiffened as she replied, “How funny, Timothy. Because I always remember my family’s food
preference.”
That prick. She was well aware that he was being sarcastic.
Without skipping a beat, Janice linked arms with her, commenting. “Mia, I didn’t expect you to be this
attentive. That’s great! Felix’s usually busy, and he doesn’t really know his way around
relatives. I’ll be relieved if you’re with him in the future.”
An uncomfortable silence enveloped the room. Mia could sense Timothy glaring at her.
