She shot a hesitant glance toward Timothy, silently pleading with her eyes.

Timothy responded casually saying, “It’s alright.”

A sense of relief flooded Mia as she watched Kennedy usher Timothy his seat.

Timothy sat in the front row, signifying his esteemed position.

Mia observed Timothy’s polished appearance and graceful demeanor.

With the award certificate in hand, he cast a patronizing glance her way, remarking, “Keep up the good work.”

Suppressing her true sentiments, Mia offered a forced smile as she took the certificate, momentarily

entertaining a rebellious urge to confront him head–on.
