Ch. 291..300
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 291-Dominic rounded everyone up from the Technical Department as soon as he found out that someone hacked into the subsidiary’s internal system.
That hacker was either.trying his luck or had a death wish!
Dominic read the text in his office, infuriated. He never expected someone to test his patience.
after he expanded a subsidiary in Bern City.
Who was this daring hacker?
With a grim face, he announced, “You have ten minutes to remove the text and 30 minutes to track down the hacker! Find out who he is and bring him to the team! Otherwise, you’ll be fired!” The technical team turned on their computers and began tracking down the hacker.
Dominic loosened his tie and instructed his assistant, “Call that Mr. Skimmer over. Just what is going on? Why is a hacker looking for him?” Randy soon‘ found out that things were getting out of hand. He contacted Maya. “Ms. Lane, what are we going to do now? Someone hacked into the company’s internal system! Is that family causing trouble on purpose?” “What are you afraid of? That family doesn’t have the power to do so. I’m sure it’s not them. Did you offend someone?” She didn’t believe that Mia was involved in this issue.
Maya firmly believed that Mia was unable to hire a great hacker to orchestrate such a ruckus.
“But Ms. Lane, that woman has been waiting for me at the company. I keep rejecting her request by saying that I’m busy. Now, the system is hacked! What are the odds?” “I’ll go to the subsidiary right now. Calm down, just tell them that a hacker infiltrated the system because of other issues. My brother’s technical team is made of capable people. They’ll catch the hacker in no time. You know what to do.” “I know. Don’t worry. Ms. Lane.” Randy ended the call.
He was wrecked with nervousness as he made his way to the presidential office.
He knocked on the door and entered the office. “Mr. Lane, is there something I can help you with?” “Mind telling me what’s going on? Did you not see the text on the screen of the internal system?
+15 BONOS “I’m innocent, Mr. Lane! We’re a new company. It’s easy to offend someone given our circumstances. It could be an act of resentment by the previous competitor. They could be trying to intimidate us.” At this point, Randy would never admit anything. The problem would be resolved once Maya arrived.
Even if the truth was revealed, he wouldn’t be blamed because he was simply following Maya’s orders.
Dominic glared at Randy, whose words made sense.
Falling victim to a scheme was normal considering that they were a new company in the area.
However, Dominic never expected a hacker to be involved!
His brother, Nathan was a famous hacker.
The other party simply didn’t know their place for trying to play such tricks!
Someone from the Technical Department reported, “Mr. Lane, the other party is tricky. He caught on our counter and retreated immediately. His IP address is somewhere hidden, and his MO is smooth. He seems like an experienced hacker. It’ll take a long while before we can trace him.” “Bring the laptop over.” Dominic decided to join the showdown himself, confident that he could catch that hacker.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 292-Dominic’s eyes focused on the monitor as he contacted Nathan. “Nathan, a hacker has infiltrated. our company’s system. A daring one. Any ways to track him down?” “Oh? Who is bold enough to confront the boss? No hackers in Nord City dared to do so.” “Cut it out. This is not Nord City. The Technical Department is at their wit’s end. The hacker seems to have something up his sleeves. Didn’t you say that there’s a brilliant program? Send it to me. I’m going to catch that hacker today.” With Nathan’s help, Dominic believed that he could track down any hacker he wanted.
Nathan smiled. “Not a problem. What’s that hacker’s virtual IP address? I can make a vague guess of his origin through that.” “Sittle Island.” Nathan choked on his coffee and burst into a cough upon hearing that. “What did you say? Where is it again?” “Sittle Island. What a weird name. Does this place even exist?” “No. It’s a virtual one.” Nathan attempted to connect the dots.
What a coincidence. He and his gang actually formulated the IP address themselves. Only a few were able to use it as of today.
Last night, he shared the program with Mia and this IP address was found out soon.
A sense of foreboding cloaked him. Did he just sabotage his own people with his program?
“Why the silence, Nathan? Send it to me.” Dominic’s patience was running thin.
Nathan coughed. “Wait. I have nothing to do anyway. I can settle this for you. There’s something that I have to verify.” Dominic raised his eyebrow. “You know this hacker? Are you trying to give him the leeway?” “I can’t say anything for sure right now. I have to see it personally first.” “Fine. I’ll ask them to share the control access with you. Your company built our system for us. You know what to do next, don’t you?” Dominic asked sternly.
The call disconnected. Dominc’s hunch kept telling him that something was off about Nathan. Could the hacker be someone Nathan knew?
Nathan received access to the internal system and began his counter against the hacker.
Slowly, he gained the upper hand in the confrontation.
However, the hacker’s modus operandi gave him a sense of deja vu.
His fingers suddenly stopped. After a moment of contemplation, he reached out to Mia.
Meanwhile, a great hacker was attacking Mia. If she had not used the defense barriers from Nathan, her laptop would’ve been intruded instead.
At that moment, her phone started ringing. It was a call from Nathan.
he sudden?
Nathan. Anything?
of guilt put her into a momentary trance before she answered the call. “Hey, He coughed. “Mia, did you use the program I gave you yesterday?” he dived into the topic right away.
It would be a waste of time beating around the bush anyway. He asked his friends to see if anyone used the defense barriers but the answers were negative.
Therefore, that left him with only one answer.
His question placed her in silence. “How did you know?” He sighed lightly. His guess was right.
The guilt plagued her more. “Did I cause you trouble, Nathan?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 293-Yesterday, Mia thought of making use of what Nathan shared to let her steam off. To teach Maya and Randy a lesson.
Encountering a better competitor was beyond Mia’s expectations..
Now that Nathan was checking on her, there had to be a problem.
“No. It’s just that I monitored someone using that program and checked on it. I was worried about you. Need help?” “I’m good for now, I can handle it.” Nathan’s program was good enough for Mia.
Although a better competitor appeared, she had achieved her objective.
He didn’t expect that answer. “Okay. Call me if you need help.” Nathan couldn’t pry further unless he intended to expose himself.
After Mia hung up, she watched the monitor. The competitor stopped the chase instead of continuing to track her down.
Regardless, her objective was achieved. Confronting that competitor would be an overkill. She didn’t want to bring Nathan trouble either.
“Mia, what are you doing here?” Maya saw Mia in the waiting area the moment she arrived.
Maya’s heels clicked with every step she made. “You shouldn’t be here,” she told Mia haughtily.
Mia’s eyes shot upward. “I came to retrieve my money. If not here, where else should I go?” “Oh, you came to retrieve your money? I wonder who said she didn’t mind the compensation at all and yet here she is, all jumpy to get the money back.” A triumphant smile adorned Maya’s face.
As she had expected, Mia cared about the compensation.
Maya lowered her voice. “Want the money? Easy. Apologize to me sincerely and I’ll put in good words to the Demolition Department. How about that?” The degrading demand didn’t bother Mia at all. “No. I’m waiting for you guys to apologize and wire the money to me.” Maya cracked up. “Mia Bowen, are you crazy? You must be dreaming. If you don’t apologize to me, you won’t receive that money forever. I’ll make that happen.” BONOS Mia managed a smile. “Then I might as well demand an explanation of the company’s internal system. Let’s see how your brother would deal with it once he knows about this.” Maya’s expression showed a slight unnatural change before she barked, “That’s my brother. Who do you think he’ll side with?” Mia sneered in–return. “We’ll see.” “You should’ve accepted my offer when I was being nice. You can keep waiting until pigs fly.” There was no time for Maya to waste here. She had to settle Randy’s problem before he ruined the plan.
If Dominic found out that she was behind this, she would be over.
At the same time, Nathan engaged in a call with Dominic after talking with Mia over the phone.” Dominic, why don’t you ask why the hacker is doing this? That’s the key to resolving the issue.” “I’ve asked. It could be a trick by a competitor.” “This means you haven’t gotten the real answer yet. It’s surely not a competitor or whatnot. There’s something else behind this.” Nathan understood Mia very well. The problem didn’t start merely because of a competitor.
Dominic raised an eyebrow. “Nathan, what’s with beating around the bush? Do you know who the hacker is? Are you trying to protect him?” Nathan gulped down his saliva. “Here’s a piece of advice. Investigate if it has something to do with the demolition of that old neighborhood Mia lived in. See how she’s already forced to hack into the company’s system? Did Mr. Skimmer pick on her?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 294-Dominic asked, “Are you saying that Mia’s the hacker?” “Who else could it be? I’ve checked in on her. Besides, she’s my mentee. She knows a lot about hacking into a system. It can’t be anyone else.” Dominic’s head was still buzzing with confusion.
It was Mia intruding into his company’s system!
It took him a while to regain his composure. He looked at the monitor. “She’s made great improvement! Not bad, not bad. No one in the company can do anything to defeat her. I’m impressed.” He expected nothing less from his sister. She was bright and adorable!
Dominic, who had been wearing a steely countenance, finally broke into a smile like a brother proud of his sister.
The others in the office watched him with confused expressions as they didn’t know what happened to him.
Why did his expression change over a phone call?
Dominic disconnected the call and looked at the Technical Department.
“What’s the matter? Haven’t tracked down the hacker yet?” Pride swelled in his voice.
The Head of the Technical Department answered stiffly, “No. He escaped and we can’t find his IP address. We can’t find out who he is for the recruitment either.” Dominic clicked his tongue. “Look at yourselves. Your resumes are the top ones and you call yourselves a veteran. But none of you can guys?” even catch the hacker. What’s the use of having you Although he was telling them off, his tone seemed to convey that he was trying to show off something.
The Head of the Technical Department was perplexed. They failed to locate the hacker and yet Dominic seemed to be in a good mood.
Was the whole department going to be fired?
After showing off his sister to the Technical Department, Dominic turned to face Randy.
His expression turned stoic almost instantly. “Be honest with me, what did you do that caused a hacker to hack into our system? Did you do something to the old neighborhood demolition project?
Randy felt his skin crawl. He quickly explained, “No, I didn’t! I handled the project as you told me. There was no delay. It shouldn’t be about the demolition.” “Oh really? Bring me the documents related to the demolition. I want to see.” Anxiety got the best of Randy, who didn’t know what to do.
What should he say when Dominic found out that only one family had yet to receive the compensation?
At that moment, Maya entered the office. “Dominic, you shouldn’t be bothered by this trivial matter. Mr. Skimmer and I can take care of it.” “What brings you here?” Dominic questioned her visit without holding himself back.
“I heard something happened to the company and I was worried. I came to check on the situation.. I’d like to share your burden. We’re family, after all.” She sugarcoated the purpose of her visit.
She continued, “Did you catch the hacker? How dare he hack into our system! He has a death wish. Ask Nathan to track him down. That hacker won’t be able to get away with this.” Although Mia was holding a laptop in the waiting area, Maya wouldn’t believe that Mia had the ability to hack into the company’s system.
Dominic frowned. “Stay out of this. I’ll take care of it.” He decided to wrap up the issue. After all, it was Mia who was clever enough to hack into the system.
On top of that, he thought of spurring her on so that she could become a brilliant hacker in the √future.
He recentered his focus onto Randy. “Did you hear me? Bring me the documents.” Maya bit her lips, her brows furrowed in frustration.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 295-Alarmed that things weren’t going as she hoped it would, Maya spoke, “Dominic, this issue has nothing to do with that demolition project. I’m positive.” Dominic’s eyes slightly, narrowed. “How did you know?” Her expression turned awkward. “Because those residents are people from the lower class. How are they able to perform such things? You’re overthinking it.” The mention of social class added grimness to his tone. “The lower class? Have you forgotten where you came from?*
There was a huge shift in her expression. She quickly said, “This is a different matter. Leave this issue to me. I won’t let you down.” He was smart enough to grow suspicious about it having something to do with the demolition.
After all, Mia wouldn’t hack into the company’s system without a solid reason. He had faith in her character.
Right then, someone from the Technical Department shrieked, “Mr. Lane, that hacker hacked into our system again. He emailed a voice recording this time.” Surprised, Dominic ordered, “Let’s hear what it says.” Meanwhile, Maya had a bad feeling about this.
Could it be the conversation she shared with Mia at the waiting area?
Did Mia hire someone to do all this?
Maya overlooked a possibility–Mia might not have the capability to hack, but she could find someone else to do so!
Someone played the recording, which revealed a conversation between two women. It was Maya and Mia’s conversation earlier.
Maya’s face fell and she jumped to deny it, “Dominic, this is not my voice. It’s phishing!” Dominic frowned at Maya’s haughty attitude toward Mia.
He looked at Maya before berating her. “Do you take me for a fool? I’m smart enough to tell that you’re lying. What do you mean by that? You stopped the compensation procedure? How dare you, Maya Lane!*
Finally, he knew the whole story of the situation.
He glared at Randy. “Speak up! If you don’t give me an explanation, all of you will be fired!” Dominic’s assistant read the room and urged the others to leave the office.
Randy and Maya stood at their places. She gulped. “Dominic, we’re just following the procedures. That family hasn’t received the compensation because some of the documents weren’t aligned. We need them to hand over the remaining files.” Dominic read the document before throwing it in her face. He yelled, “What’s not aligned? Tell me, what is not aligned?” He asked someone to prepare Mia’s documents, so there shouldn’t be any problem.
Maya was baffled for a moment before leveling with him, “I have beef with her, Dominic. That’s why I’m picking on her. Don’t intervene. I’ll take care of it.” Beef?
He chuckled coldly before instructing Randy. “Hand in your resignation letter to the Human Resources Department. If you don’t want to be held accountable for this, better apologize to that resident. Otherwise, a lawyer’s letter will be coming for you.” Randy immediately looked at Maya. “Ms. Lane, I was simply following your orders. You have to explain everything to Mr. Lane! I have nothing to do with this!” At this stage, the only person he could count on was Maya.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 296-Maya kept her head low. There was no way she would defend Randy when she was already in deep waters herself. After all, the only reason Mia confronted her was because he failed to get his job done.
After he was brought out of the office, only then did Maya whimpered, “Dominic, please let me handle this.” As one of the Lanes, she surely had the authority to do so.
“Maya, you have no right to deal with this. Also, why are you targeting this family?” Dominic was bewildered. Why did Maya target Mia?
With a stoic expression, Maya replied, “Mia got in between Timothy and I. Who did she think she is? I only meant to give her a warning.” In that instant, Dominic recalled what happened at the Fleur International Design Competition.
Mia won first place, but in the end she turned out to be the last.
When Maya told him it was an accident, he believed her. However, that didn’t seem like the case now.
It wasn’t an accident. Maya did that on purpose.
It was about time he let her go.
Dominic sighed, and made his decision immediately.
“Maya, I mentioned about dissolving your adoption, right? Sign the papers now.” Maya was taken aback. She did not expect him to talk about this now.
She replied reluctantly, “I’m still not engaged to Timothy. Didn’t you say that you’ll only dissolve the adoption once I marry him? Because by then I’ll have someone to depend on?” However, Timothy called off their engagement because of Connor. Shouldn’t the Lane family take her up as their responsibility?
Without skipping a beat, Dominic took out a file from his drawer and placed it in front of her.
“Sign it.” Maya had reached a point where Dominic found it impossible to let her stay because she sabotaged Mia.
Maya shot a glance at the documents.
“Dominic, are you that eager to make me leave?” “Maya, that’s the end for us now. I don’t think you’re fit as a Lane anymore.” If Maya continued staying at the Lane residence, she would eventually get into more conflicts with Mia. By then, how will they explain it to her?
“At least give me a reason if you want me to leave. Don’t tell me it’s because of that bitch, Mia!” Maya finally recalled the change in Dominic’s attitude once Mia was brought up in their conversation.
Dominic’s expression darkened in an instant.
“Maya, since when have you become so rude?” “Oh, did I get you there? Connor was deceived by Mia, and now you’re bewitched by her as well, huh?” Maya began to lose her sanity when Dominic took out the agreement to dissolve her adoption. status. Her only leverage was her position as the only daughter of the Lane family.
If she lost her status, where would she stand in Bern City? She couldn’t even marry Timothy by then.
Dominic frowned.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Mia’s not a liar.” He knew her well. Given how innocent and adorable she was, there was no way she was a liar. On the contrary, he was getting more and more fed up with Maya. She was draining his trust and patience.
“Mia’s nothing but a liar! She used to dally around with Liam, but now she’s at it again with Connor! She’s a shameless, two–timing bitch!” “Shut up!” Dominic bellowed as he slapped her across the face.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 297-Maya was stunned from the slap. She stared at Dominic in disbelief, her eyes turning red.
“How could you, Dominic? How could you hit me for Mia’s sake?” This was beyond her expectation.
With a grim expression, Dominic glared at Maya.
“Maya, how could you be so harsh despite being the daughter of the Lane family? Has all that you learned in etiquette lessons throughout these years been in vain?” Initially, he thought Maya found out about Mia’s identity. Yet, it turned out that she probably misunderstood Mia’s relationship with Liam and Connor. Nonetheless, that didn’t justify her to speak crassly about Mia.
Feeling wronged, Maya retorted in a strained voice, “I was just angry. Plus, I wasn’t even wrong.
“Shut up! You did something during the Fleur International Design Competition too, didn’t you? From now onward, you’re not allowed to meddle with any of the Lane family business. If I find you doing anything suspicious, I’ll terminate your credit card.” “Dominic, you can’t do this to me,” she reached out to him.
Maya became extremely on edge when she realized her card was about to be terminated. If she was no longer rich, her status would be meaningless.
Dominic wrenched his hand away from her as he snapped, “Maya, you should’ve known what my limits are. I will not tolerate you constantly sabotaging our work.” “Dominic, I’m sorry. Please forgive me this time.” As he handed the document over to her, he stated, “I’ll give you a week to consider. If you have any demands, speak up. I will fulfill them as long as they’re reasonable.” A hint of scorn flickered across Maya’s eyes when she looked at the document. She and left the office.
Her grip on the documents tightened as she stepped into the elevator.
Blake asked, “Ms. Lane, what’s wrong?” spun around “Hmph, the Lanes used me to take care of that crazy old hag for so many years. Now that I’m useless, they’re going to get rid of me and kick me out of the family. But I won’t let them have their Maya wiped the tears off her face. She wouldn’t leave the Lane family easily.
Mia was a seductress indeed. Now that she had Connor in her hands, even Dominic had started to defend her.
Meanwhile, Mia originally planned to leave the office building. After all, they had just caused a huge scene. Since someone ‘important‘ like Maya was present at Vista Properties, it would be best for her to avoid causing Nathan any trouble.
Just then, Derek hurried toward her.
“Ms. Bowen, regarding the demolition payment, I’ve realized that the finance department has made a mistake after investigating. The money has been transferred to your account now. I sincerely apologize for overlooking this issue.” Mia knew he was in charge of the demolition program. She searched up his profile in the company’s system, and she saw his picture.
Well, it seemed like her method earlier worked.
Nonetheless, she pretended to keep her cool as she replied coldly, “Let me make a call and check.” “Sure, no problem.” She turned around and called Patricia.
“Aunt Patricia, did you receive a text notification saying that a fund has been transferred to your account?” “Let me check. Oh, yes. It was transferred just now. How did you manage that, Mia?” “I came to look for their person–in–charge. After investigating, they realized that the finance department had made a mistake. Everything has been resolved now.” After Mia hung up, she swerved around and glanced at Derek. She felt like he was being too respectful to her..
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 298-Was it because Derek was scolded earlier?
As Mia plastered a stoic expression on her face, she said, “Fine. I won’t press any further on the matter since I have received the payment.” “Thank you so much. Ms. Bowen. I’m really sorry about that,” Derek blurted.
Shortly after, Maya’s voice resonated across the hall..
“Ha! What a loser, giving in just like that!” Mia lifted her head, and saw Maya emerging from the elevator, looking extremely proud.
She replied faintly. “At least he learns from his mistakes.” “Mia, don’t you dare think you won because of some little tricks you pulled.” “They worked, didn’t they? I achieved my goal after all.” As her gaze‘ fixated on Maya, she continued, “If you carry on with your evil schemes, believe it or not, I’ll expose your video instead. It won’t just be an audio clip next time. You should even thank me for saving you some face.” Maya was infuriated.
“It seems like I’ve underestimated your seduction skills, haven’t I? You even managed to pull a hacker to assist you in your crimes.” Mia glanced at her with a faint smile as she replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. You have to be able to prove that, you know. Can you prove I’m responsible for what happened earlier?” Surely, she wasn’t a fool. Of course she wouldn’t admit that it was her doing.
Maya retorted defiantly, “But you just admitted to it earlier!” “Oh, is that so? I was just saying, you know. Did you just admit you’re the one in the audio?” Maya was immediately silenced. There was no way she was going to admit to that. However, she just received a scolding from Dominic earlier in his office. He wasn’t easily fooled.
Mia lifted her gaze and continued, “Ms. Lane, if you have nothing to say, I’ll get going. Bye.” She turned around swiftly and took her leave without skipping a beat.
Stomping her foot, Maya shrieked, “Just you wait, Mia!”Not long after, Dominic stepped out of his private elevator. Yet, he found no sign of Mia.
Where did she go?
Walter said, “Mr. Lane, I checked the CCTV footage, and it appears that Ms. Mia has left.” Dominic heaved a sigh of relief. He was equally worried about her getting mad and his identity being exposed.
After all, he wouldn’t dare to see her in person before he finished dealing with Maya.
Just then, Oliver, the manager of the legal department, approached him.
“Mr. Lane, I think we should call the cops over to deal with the consequences of the hacker attack. Otherwise, our branch company will be put in a tricky situation in Bern City.” Dominic narrowed his eyes as he questioned, “Call the cops?” “Yes. That’s the best solution.” Dominic raised a brow as he snapped, “How dare you have the audacity to call the cops when you lot can’t even handle a single hacker? You should all go back and write me a reflection on this. If this happens again, you’re sacked.” Certainly, he wouldn’t call the police. A smirk crept onto his face as he thought of how bright Mia was. It had only been a while since she took up computer science, yet she improved quickly.
Dominic took a screenshot of the company’s website being hacked and sent it into the “One Big Happy Family” group chat with the caption, “Mia indeed! She single–handedly hacked a company’s system today. Truly amazing! She’ll become a great hacker in the future!” Nathan replied smugly, “That’s for sure, because I taught her. Of course, she has the talent as well.
Η Eva asked in confusion, “The company’s interface looks quite familiar. Isn’t it from our branch company’s website?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 299-Eva was dumbfounded. Why did Mia hack their branch company?
Nonetheless, Nathan and Dominic, who were obsessed with Mia, were over the moon.
Connor explained that Nathan was tutoring Mia in computer science, and he came to a conclusion that she made a significant improvement.
Still Eva was flummoxed.
“Why did Mia hack the branch company’s system for no reason? Did she find out about something?” Dominic enlightened them on the incident.
Liam cursed, “That bitch Maya! How dare she frame Mia like that? How are you going to handle this, Dominic? How are you going to explain yourself if Mia finds out about this in the future?” Dominic replied, “I can handle this. Give me a week to deal with Maya.” Connor quickly remarked, “You have to hurry up. Mia plans to come back to live with us in Nord City once she has completed her studies.” Even if Dominic found out about Mia’s pregnancy, he wouldn’t be able to get mad at Connor and her because of what Maya did.
Connor thought it was best to keep this a secret from Dominic first. After all, he wouldn’t hesitate to beat him up if he was furious.
They began to discuss Mia’s return to Nord City.
Eva chimed in, “I’ll have to go back to Nord City for the arrangements then. Mia deserves the best.” They prepared many properties, automobiles and gifts for Mia to welcome her return.
Meanwhile, Mia suddenly sneezed when she returned home. Was someone talking about her?
Patricia held her hand in glee as she said. “Mia, the money has really been transferred.” “Great. We’ll get better from now on.” Suddenly, Patricia paused and said, “Mia, remember when Dominic mentioned something about. you returning to Nord City? After contemplating this matter for quite some time, I’ve decided to bring James along with you.” “Really?” Mia had been worried that Patricia wouldn’t want to live in an unfamiliar place. If she didn’t feel.
like leaving, Mia couldn’t possibly stay in Nord City all the time. She couldn’t just abandon Patricia once she found her family. After all, it was Patricia who raised her.
“Yeah, of course. But before I leave, I’d like to bid goodbye to my family, since I won’t be coming back often in the future.” “Sure. However, you can still come back here during the holidays.” Mia’s – were h upon hearing Patricia’s positive response. It seemed like she could start planning her leave from Bern City.
The next day, Mia headed to the studio for work. She usually had weekend shifts.
Shortly after she arrived at her office, Felix showed up.
“Mia, you’re here as well.” “You’re already discharged from the hospital?” Mia didn’t expect to bump into Felix here. She thought he would be hospitalized for a few days.
Felix replied with a smile, “The doctor said I was fine after a medical checkup. It’s just an external injury, so I just have to rest. I can’t possibly slack off in the hospital since I have work to tend to in the studio as well.” “Right, make sure to get enough rest then. After all, you haven’t completely recovered yet.” “My mom’s been taking care of me these few days. I’ll be fine with her around.” Mia recalled her encounter with Janice that day at his ward. Fortunately, they had only met once. She really couldn’t bear her.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 300-Felix emerged from his office in the afternoon. “Mia, let’s grab lunch together.” “Sure. It’s on me, okay? You were injured last time for saving me, and I really don’t know how I should thank you.” “It’s simple. You can just marry me.” A hint of awkwardness flickered across Mia’s face. Almost immediately, Felix remarked quickly, “I’m just kidding. Don’t take it seriously. Let’s go now. Just then, Janice stepped into the studio. “Felix, are you done with your work yet? I made some chicken soup for your nourishments.” “Mom, why did you come? Didn’t I say I’m not going back for lunch?” Felix frowned. He came to the studio on purpose because he knew Mia was working today. He wanted to have a lunch date with her. Little did he expect Janice to come to the studio with the chicken soup. Indeed, she was making things complicated. “I was worried about you not eating proper meals at the office, Felix. That’s why I came with the chicken soup. You can share it with Ms. Bowen since she’s here as well.” Mia flashed an uncomfortable smile as she replied, “Mrs. Quilter, have you had lunch yet? If not, why don’t we grab lunch together?” “I haven’t. In fact, I planned to go back home for lunch after I sent Felix the chicken soup. Why don’t you guys bring the soup with you while you eat out? It must be quite uncomfortable for you to have me tagging along.” “That’s not true, Mrs. Quilter. It’ll take more time for you to go back as well, so why don’t you just come with us instead?” There was no way that Mia was going to let her return home and eat. Feeling helpless, Felix chimed in, “Let’s go then. I know a nice restaurant, but it’s quite far. Since we’re free later in the afternoon, why don’t we walk there instead?” His meticulously planned date was ruined by Janice. When they were about to get in the car, Felix instinctively opened the door of the front passenger seat. Mia paused briefly before glancing over at Janice. “Mrs. Quilter, please go ahead.” “That’s so lovely of you, Mia. I have car sickness, but I’ll feel better if I’m seated in front.” Though Janice tried to explain, she moved swiftly onto the front passenger seat. Mia took the seat at the back. It wasn’t like she was trying to fight over the seat with Janice either. “Ms. Bowen, I didn’t expect you to work during weekends. It’s really rare for a young lady like your to be this hardworking. Nowadays, most youngsters absolutely hate working overtime. It was tough for Felix to start up his business, and despite him paying them, they’re still unwilling to work overtime.” In a resigned manner, Felix interrupted, “Mom, stop it.” Though Mia felt extremely awkward, she managed to plaster a polite smile on her face. “Ms. Bowen, the doctor said Felix has to be careful with his head. Since he’s usually very busy. could you help to keep an eye on him after I leave? Don’t let him overwork.” “Mrs. Quilter, I’ll make sure he takes care of himself.” “I’m relieved to hear that. Ms. Bowen, can I just call you Mia instead? I wanted to get close to you.” Mia nodded with a smile. The car came to a halt when they arrived at their destination. Once they got out of the car, Janice took the initiative to link arms with Mia as she chirped, “Mia, not only are you pretty, you’re very capable as well.
