Mia paused briefly before replying, "It's not about that. I simply haven't considered being in a relationship. Besides, I've always found fulfillment in my independence."

"Even with a successful career, it's challenging for a woman to navigate alone. How do you intend to manage without a partner at home?"

"Ms. Lane, please don't take our directness the wrong way. We genuinely care about your well-being. The gentlemen we're recommending are highly regarded and sought after.

"It's only because of our close relationship with Aunt Patricia that we're bringing them to your attention. After all, finding good men nowadays is quite a challenge."

These days, men aren't always the most reliable," she countered. At that moment, Mia gently nudged Patricia's hand. "It's getting late, we should head back now. The kids need to shower and get to bed," she suggested, steering Patricia away from the gossiping group. As they walked away, Patricia offered Mia some advice, "Try not to take what those two say too seriously. They're known for their loose tongues in the neighborhood, always ready to spread gossip. And those men they were talking about? Well, they're hardly exemplary.
