NovelOnlineMia 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.

"As you can see, a lot of things happened today. I have to work overtand 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 instructingabout 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 could chase anyone else out, but the man standing there was none other than Timothy Barrett.
"Should I do it myself since you can't do that? Why don't you be the boss instead?" Peyton walked away with his head hung low.

Mia quickly hid herself behind the curtain. Did Timothy notice anything? Outside, Peyton stood in front of Timothy. "Mr. Barrett, Ms. Mia would like you to leave." Timothy glanced at the office before asking gently, "Has she had her dinner?" Peyton thought Timothy would be annoyed. He did not expect Timothy to ask whether Mia had had her dinner.
