Once Mia put it that way, Wilhelmina took the bait right away. She cooed, “I’m free, Mia. I can do that.”
“Oh, thank you!” Mia handed the design draft to Wilhelmina, happy that she finally found a reason not to see Timothy. Moments later, Wilhelmina dolled herself up and drove to the mansion.
Before she left, she looked the neighborhood up online. She read that only rich people lived in the neighborhood. Since Mia had said that the owner was young and handsome, he must be an heir to a big company.
Wilhelmina drove to the mansion in a cheery mood. She supervised the whole renovation installation. But as she gazed at the bright red curtain, she wondered if the workers delivered the wrong material.
Before long. Timothy arrived at his home. Looking at the workers outside, he grinned. Mia had to be inside. Timothy entered the living room.
Oh, the bright red curtain! Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The asymmetrical design!
Everything was assaulting his poor eyeballs! a
Timothy looked around. “Where’s Mia?”
“Sir, Mia couldn’t come because she’s busy. I’m the person in charge here. What can I help with?” Wilhelmina approached Timothy like a fan girl. He was so hot!
Timothy gave an order impassively. “Take down everything right now.”
He risked losing his eyesight if he had to look at those hideous decorations for one second longer.
Wilhelmina was confused. “Is there a problem?”
“Leave!”
Before Wilhelmina could say anything, she was chased away by Holly.
Timothy flopped on the sofa with a glum face. He took out his phone and took several pictures. Mia had to be doing this on purpose.
Meanwhile, Mia got off work and came home. She still couldn’t find the bottle of folic acid, and it began to worry her.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed. It was from a familiar number-Timothy’s. She knew why he was calling her so she decided not to pick it up.
Mia went to her room and lay on her bed. She checked her messages and saw a text from Timothy. “Is this your design?”
Attached with the text were several photos.

Those were her designs, all right.
Asymmetrical designs.
Bright red textiles.
Blinking, golden lights.
Mia patted herself on the back and admired her work.
Meanwhile. Timothy preferred symmetrical, minimalist designs with simple colors. Mia was doing the very opposite of that.
By doing that, none of the Barretts would ever ask her to design their marital homes anymore.
They tried to make her life a living hell, so she figured she should make them live in hell.
After dinner, Mia recalled the paid hospital bill.
She went back to her room and called Dominic.
Dominic was
was brooding in the conference room. His scary face sent chills down everyone’s spine. His assistant delivered his phone to him and squeaked, “Sir, you have a call.”
Dominic’s eyes darted menacingly to his assistant. “Can’t you see I’m having a meeting here?”
The assistant placed the phone before Dominic.
When Dominic saw the text on the screen, his face lit up and he answered the call with a friendly voice.” What’s the matter?”
“Am I interrupting something, Dominic?”
“Not at all. I’m free now.” Dominic feigned nonchalance to reassure Mia. “Why are you calling me?”
“Well, I checked and found out that someone paid for James’s hospital bill for the next ten years.”
Mia thought about it and figured that only Dominic could do that.
Dominic cleared his throat. “Yes, I did that. But don’t worry about the money. I can afford it.”. “Thanks, Dominic. I’ll work harder to earn more money.”
