Mia arched an eyebrow, glancing at Timothy before her. “Are you seriously going to discard an 80-thousand- dollar watch like that?” Timothy stepped closer, his tone laced with sarcasm. “Looks like your taste in men isn’t quite up to par; they're willing to walk away over a mere 80 thousand bucks.” “Well, who can resist the allure of money?

I'll make sure you get the reishi mushroom. But if we're going to be together, you'll need to abide by my conditions.” Her cascading curls framed her face, and a bold grin played on her lips.
