Meet My Brothers

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 Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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. If you happen to be part of our family in the future, your career will definitely flourish with Felix’s studio.”

Mia froze. Just then, she lifted her gaze and met a pair of dark eyes.

Her heart raced instantly. It was him.
