Meet My Brothers

“How is she considered a customer?” Shelly shrieked. Forcing her to apologize to

Mia made her feel worse than getting killed.

Timothy said coldly, “As a member of the Barrett family, your actions have severely

impacted our image. If you don’t apologize, you won’t be allowed to set foot in any of

the Barrett family’s malls in the future. Security, get her out of here!”

He was a ruthless, decisive leader. He didn’t give Shelly any leeway.

When Shelly saw the security guards approaching, she knew Timothy was being serious. If she were to get kicked out today and be barred from entering any of the

Barrett Group’s malls, she would be the laughingstock of the city.

In the end, Shelly shuffled over to Mia reluctantly. Her eyes were red as she glared

at Mia and snarled, “I’m sorry!”

Mia raised an eyebrow and gave Timothy a surprised look. She hadn’t expected him

to actually force Shelly to apologize to her. Or was he only doing this for the Barrett Group’s sake?

Eva asked calmly, “Is that really considered an apology? With that sort of attitude?”

Shelly almost snapped the nails that she’d just had done. What else did they want?

Timothy’s gaze was icy. “It only counts if the customer accepts your apology.”

Shelly was almost in tears. She lowered her head and said, “I’m

sorry.”

Eva still wasn’t very satisfied. “How about this? We’ll forgive Ms. Barrett if she

serves us today.”

This was the last thing on earth that Shelly wanted to do, but one look at Timothy’s

expression told her what she needed to know. She had no choice but to remain

rooted to the spot.

Timothy didn’t leave, either. He stood to one side as he looked at Mia. “To express our truest apologies, I’ll stay here to keep an eye on things.”

Mia was stunned. What was wrong with Timothy? Wasn’t he a busy bee? Why did he

suddenly have time to stay here and keep an eye on things?

On the other hand, Eva was pretty pleased by this. Timothy looked like a pest, but he

was rather principled when it came to doing business.

“Mia, come and try this on,” she said.

Mia had no choice but to walk over to Eva. She looked at the evening gown before

her, saying in a low voice, “Why don’t we just go, Eva?”

She couldn’t really handle trying on evening gowns with Timothy watching.

“What are you afraid of, Mia? We’re customers here. By the way, do you know the

Barretts?” Eva asked. Shelly had obviously been picking on Mia.

Mia’s breathing hitched. Had Eva noticed something? She answered in a low voice,”

I worked as a carer for an affluent family, remember? I cared for Mrs. Barrett Senior,

so I’ve met all the Barretts.”

“Oh, okay. No wonder it looked like you guys knew each other. Don’t be scared, Mia.

You’re not working for them anymore, and we’re paying customers. Remember your

identity.”

Eva pushed Mia into the changing room. Mia looked at the evening gown in her

hands and sighed. Soon, the salesperson who’d been slapped followed her in. “Allow

me to help you with that.”

“Oh, uh, sure. Thanks,” Mia said.

The salesperson crouched down before her. “I should be the one thanking you.

Thanks for speaking up for me earlier.”

Their gazes met. They understood what the other meant.

Mia soon stepped out of the changing room in the evening gown. The salesperson

had pulled back her hair in a loose bun. Tendrils of hair framed her face, giving her

a cheeky, spirited look,

She stood before the large mirror outside the changing room and looked at her

reflection. The evening gown was indeed beautiful.

Mia turned and subconsciously met Timothy’s gaze. She turned away to look at Eva, ”

How’s this one?”

Eva beamed. “It’s gorgeous. You have such a nice figure and temperament that

everything looks good on you.”

Shelly, standing to one side, rolled her eyes. What was so nice about them? They

were nothing but two country hicks. She only dared to think this, though. No way

would she have the guts to say that out loud. She didn’t want Timothy to hear her.

Timothy appraised Mia from where he stood and narrowed his eyes slightly. The This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

evening gown seemed like it’d been tailored to fit her. It hugged her in all the right

places and showed off her figure. Still, wasn’t the bold cut-out in the back exposing

too much skin?

He frowned at her. “Where are you wearing this dress to?”

Why was Mia suddenly buying an evening gown?
