Mia’s concern lingered–what if someone had tampered with the drink? She preferred not to take any chances.

Her food preferences changed ever since she got pregnant.

“You don’t like coffee? I remember you liked this coffee brand a lot back in college.”

The colleagues became nosy. “Gosh, Ms. Quilter remembers your past favorites, Mia.”

Someone chimed in. “Mia, isn’t our boss young, handsome and caring too?”

Seeing her discomfort, Felix stepped in. He gave the colleagues a look. “Enough. You guys are crossing a line. I’m looking out for Mia as her superior. She’s our top designer.”

A wave of relief washed over her when she heard that. She had no idea how to react to this kind of situation.

Once the colleagues dispersed, Felix lowered his voice. “Mia, don’t be stressed out. My feelings for you are my business. Don’t overthink it.”

After giving it a thought, she raised her head. “Felix, actually, I—”

“Alright, I know. Just focus on your work. By the way, you’re in charge of this project. I feel more assured to leave it in your hands.”

“Is it the interior design project for a villa?”

“Nope. It’s for an engagement ceremony. The client has high demands, not only for the venue but also the decorations. They requested us to go to them for a discussion.”

An engagement ceremony?

It reminded Mia of Maya and Timothy’s engagement, but she pushed those thoughts aside.

“Felix, I don’t think the studio has accepted this kind of order. We specialize in interior design, not wedding planning,” Mia said.

“I know, but this is an exception. We must accept this order and do our best. It’ll bring us to further heights. Please, Mia,” Felix pleaded with her.

Since he had put it that way, there was no way she could refuse it. “Okay. Give me more commissions in return. My monthly mortgage installment is high.”

“That is for sure.”

Felix turned around and returned to his office before making a call.

“Don’t worry about it, Ms. Lane, Everyone on my team is capable and willing to accept challenges. If you have any complaints, just tell us. We can change the plan accordingly.”

The corner of Maya’s lips curled upward. “Thanks.”

“Don’t be. It is truly our honor that you’re giving us this opportunity.”

“How sweet of you. But please, keep this engagement a secret. I hope you won’t reveal who the bride and bridegroom are before the engagement ceremony.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lane. I’m the only person who knows about it for now. My lips are sealed.”

Maya’s smile brightened. “I can share the decorations online after the ceremony. Hope it can boost your studio.”

Felix was thrilled. “That’s fantastic! Thank you, Ms. Lane.”

The call ended with Maya in good spirits.

What kind of expression would Mia wear when she saw Maya and Timothy at the engagement ceremony?
