Before they realized it, Timothy and Mia found themselves in close proximity.

With Mia's fingers delicately wrapped around his tie, Timothy surrendered to her touch, resembling a compliant, large canine.

Their eyes locked in an intense gaze, a silent exchange unfolding between them.

Mia stood tall above Timothy, her gaze fixed on him.

Feeling nervous, Timothy's throat tightened as he spoke, "Well, you could see it as my way of apologizing."

A smile tugged at Mia's lips as she leaned closer to him, their breaths intertwining.

At that moment, Timothy's heart raced, his gaze locked intensely on Mia as if attempting to captivate her with his eyes.

Just as their lips were on the verge of meeting, Mia tilted her head slightly and whispered, "The fish has taken the bait. Mr. Barrett, what are you still daydreaming about?"

At Mia's words, Timothy snapped back to reality, a subtle hint of disappointment flickering in his eyes. However, in the next instant, his hand found its way to her waist, his demeanor cloaked in ambiguity. Taken aback, Mia instinctively pushed him away.

Despite her reaction, Timothy smoothly caught her wrist. "The show isn't over yet," he murmured.

Mia froze, wondering if Timothy was deliberately orchestrating this moment.
