Chapter 70
When Mia had just arrived home, she got a call from Timothy.
On the other end of the phone, he said in an indifferent tone. “Are you not doing anything after getting the deposit? When are you going to start on the furnishing?”
Mia was flabbergasted.
“I thought you’d opt for another designer instead,” she replied.
After all she got into a fight with Maya yesterday. Considering her personality, she was sure that Maya would definitely snitch on her. Moreover, she didn’t take the deal seriously either, so she wasn’t bothered at all.
Yet, little did she expect to get a call from Timothy to ask her to continue the design.
Or was he actually planning to humiliate her?
“Why would I?” Timothy asked, sounding completely unfazed.
Mia glanced over at the contract and immediately switched her tone.
“Mr. Barrett, do you still have any requirements regarding the design? If you have none, I’ll proceed with selecting the furnishing tomorrow. The renovation will be done quickly. Also, there are promotions going on,
so you might even get a discount if you preorder now!”
Furrowing his brows, Timothy replied, “I wouldn’t dare to criticize the design, would I?”
Back then, she purposely gave him that design to piss him off.
“Sir, our studio’s goal is to satisfy all the needs of our clients. You can always voice out if there’s anything!”
“Mia, what’s wrong with you? Are you incapable of behaving normally?”
Letting out a short cough, Mia continued, “Alright. Is there anything else?”
After all, she was doing this for work. As she now had a mortgage to pay, she had to comply with everything
her client wanted.
Her ex-husband’s marital home wasn’t anything significant to her. She could carry on even if he had another
ten marital houses.
“Get the furnishing done in three days.”
Timothy hung up right away.
While staring at the contract, Mia’s fingers brushed lightly past her belly.
She said, “Honey, we can move to a new house now.”
Just then, Wilhelmina leaned over and probed, “A purchase agreement? Are you really buying a house? You’re
quick on your feet, aren’t you? Where’s the house?”
+15 BONOS
Mia kept the contract and retorted, “If you have the time to gossip, why don’t you spend more time on securing
orders?”
“Stop acting all high and mighty. You’re just lucky.”
“Being lucky is one of my strengths, too.” Mia snapped.
She turned and left for the pantry. She had to settle the furnishings as soon as possible. After all, this deal
was worth another million dollars.
If she took on another order, she could barely get a hundred thousand. Since Timothy was paying her a million dollars for her design, she would strive to make him satisfied.
The next day, she headed to the furniture wholesale store to select the furnishings for Timothy’s house. She knew his preferences well, so it was a breeze for her.
After taking a few pictures, she proceeded to send them to Timothy.
“Mr. Barrett, these are all the latest designs. Are you okay with these?”
Mia was on the couch when she glanced over to the retail worker and asked, “Get me all the expensive ones. Remember to give me more commission!”
The retail worker was overjoyed as she replied, “Alright! Give me a moment.”
Leaning against the couch, Mia waited for Timothy’s reply. Her legs were about to give in from the walking.
Meanwhile, Timothy was browsing through the pictures at the Barrett Group. He had to admit that the furnishings looked much better this time.
After all, Mia won first in the competition. Of course she had the skills to match her title.
Just then, Heath opened the door and said, “Mr. Barrett, your mother is here.”
As Timothy set his phone down, he glanced at Sharon.
“Mom, what brings you here?”
“Tim, have you settled the divorce agreement with Mia?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Timothy froze for a moment before he asked, “Why are you asking this?”
“If you haven’t, hurry up and get it done with. I heard Mia’s buying a marital house with another man. It won’t look good if any rumors start circulating. Divorce her so there won’t be any further trouble.”
Timothy narrowed his eyes as he questioned, “Who is she buying a marital house with?”
