Chapter 833

As Mia's words trailed off, Timothy remained unfazed, gazing calmly at her as he spoke, "Before you arrived, I had already contacted a reporter from the media.

"I disclosed only the first part of what you said, withholding the rest for now. If you insist on keeping me here, I believe he'll likely publish the full story tomorrow."

Mia was furious. "Timothy, how could you stoop so low?"

"I have just one request," Timothy replied calmly. "I want to stay here and accompany Ginger during her treatment."

Mia paced around in frustration before eventually pulling up a chair and sitting down, fixing her gaze on Timothy in the hospital bed.

Her anger was so intense that she wished she could just punch him then and there.

"Aren't you aware of my brothers' sentiments toward you now? If they find out you're still in Nord City, or even close to me, your situation could become dire."

"This decision is mine to make. I am prepared to face the consequences on my own."

Mia massaged her temples in frustration. She couldn't believe Timothy was attempting to outsmart her at this critical moment.

This movie represented the culmination of her relentless dedication and effort.

It held immense significance for her, marking her debut in the entertainment industry. There was no room for error.

Mia was surprised that Timothy could discern her current vulnerability simply by reading a news article. It served as a stark reminder for her not to underestimate him.

Yet, the notion of compromising in such a manner left her feeling uneasy.

After pondering for a while, Mia gazed at him and stated, "You can stay, but given your current situation, there's only one role available for you. You'll serve as my assistant, and bodyguard, handling various miscellaneous tasks around me."

"Alright," Timothy agreed without hesitation.

Mia was somewhat taken aback. She had assumed that someone as accomplished as Timothy, who had been the pride of his family since childhood, would never agree to such a role.

Initially, she had intended to make things challenging for him.

However, she hadn't anticipated his quick and willing agreement.

Mia nodded. "Alright, now that you're on board, please proceed to sign this employment contract."

Peyton swiftly handed over a document, and Timothy signed it without glancing at its contents.

A sly grin curved Mia's lips. "Starting today, you are at my beck and call. You must follow any directive I issue. If I command you to go east, you cannot venture west. If I instruct you to learn to meow like a cat, you cannot bark like a dog!"

Mia wore a smug expression, confident that Timothy would be furious after hearing those words.

"If he can't handle it," she thought, "he should just go back to Bern City!"

But surprisingly, Timothy didn't seem to be angered by Mia's statement Instead, he held the contractCom delicately, wearing a mischievous smile. "I could even keep you company while you sleep," he teased.

"You wish!" Mia shot back.

Snatching the contract, she swiftly er ado left the hospital without further Glancing at the document, her eyes lingered on Timothy's signature—a bold, elegant stroke that exuded a sense of grandeur. Peyton hesitantly spoke up, "Ms. Mia, should we really be doing this? If Mr. Dominic catches wind of it..."

Mia interrupted firmly, "Then be cautious and ensure Dominic remains unaware of this arrangement. Besides, Sage's treatment won't be prolonged, and Timothy will naturally depart afterward."

Rubbing her chin thoughtfully, Mia added, "Once Timothy is discharged and begins his duties, find ways to to challenge him. Don't go easy on him because of his background. Right now, he's just another employee." Peyton nodded respectfully. "I understand." The next day, Mia and her family rushed to the hospital upon hearing that Sage had woken up.

Alone in his hospital bed, Sage lay with a slightly pale complexion. He glanced at the adults gathered around his bed, his face showing a hint of tension.novelbin

"Don't hover around me like I'm already dead," he remarked.
