Finished

The restaurant Ethan had chosen for dinner was one of the finest establishments owned by the Ethan Group. A private dining room had been reserved and elegantly decorated for their arrival. The manager personally guided them to their room with a warm smile.

Inside, Parker was already waiting. “Sister–in–law,” he greeted with a bright smile as Ethan and Lily entered.

Lily returned his smile and took a seat beside Ethan. Mia was just about to sit next to Parker when her phone rang.

“Excuse me,” she said quickly and stepped out to take the call. “Hello, Mom?”

Before she could say another word, an overly excited voice called from behind her. “Baby!”

Startled, Mia spun around to find James standing there with his signature grin. Her shoulders slumped, and she sighed heavily. “Why me…”

“Baby, I’m back! Did you miss-”

“Shh!” Mia hissed, covering his mouth with her hand.

“Mia? What was that?” her mother asked over the phone.

“N–nothing, Mom! I’m just having dinner with Boss, Mr. Ethan, and Lily,” she stammered, glaring at James.

“But dear, I heard someone calling you ‘baby‘?”

“Hehe, Mom, you must’ve misheard. He was talking to someone else,” Mia said awkwardly.

James smirked under her hand and–to her horror–licked her palm.

“Ew!” Mia yanked her hand away and wiped it furiously on James’s shirt. “Are you stupid?”

“Dear? Are you speaking to me like that?” her mother asked.

Mia froze, realizing her mother thought she was being scolded. “No, no, Mom! I wasn’t talking to you!”
