It's been quite a while, and he's still nowhere to be seen." "Mia, are you perhaps worried about being caught in a lie, which is why you're saying he won't come? Just apologize, and I'll let today's incident go. I won't spread any rumors about your penniless bodyguard pretending to be the CEO of Barrett Group," she added, her tone dripping with mockery.
Mia's disdain was palpable as she responded, "You expectto apologize to you? Perhaps in another lifetime."

With Caleb's arrival, they could finally prove Timothy's identity.
Approaching with a puzzled look, Caleb glanced between Mia and Timothy What's going on? Why did you callover in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?" "Well, there is indeed an urgent matter, and it's concerning you," Mia replied cryptically.
She turned to Caleb and explained, "Speople have uncertainties regarding Timothy's identitet suspecting that he might not be the CEO of Barrett Group but simply a humble bodyguard accompanying me. That's why I've brought you here-to confirm Timothy's position." Caleb's expression shifted to one of surprise as Mia spoke. "Well, isn't this intriguing," he said, clearing his throat. "It's rare these days for anyone to question Tim's identity. He used to stroll around Bern City like he owned it, looking down on everyone.
