Tim, on the other hand, was surprised.
Just now, Maia was tugging at his sleeve, as if she was very worried and afraid. However, all in a
sudden, she actually began to speak up for him.
Tim looked at Maia. He felt that she had become cleverer.
Luke remained silent. He was pondering over something.
Tim was not in a rush to push him. He was drinking his wine, but then slightly frowned.
"What kind of wine is this? So bland. Maia, go to the front desk and buy me a Lafite. All will do."
"OK."
Maia now had some admiration for Tim.
She hurriedly got up and walked out.
Luke watched as Maia walked out and said worriedly, "Mr. Tim, although this club isn't owned by Liam,
it's inevitable that someone who knows Liam will come here. What if Miss Maia meets those people..."
"Don't worry. Maia isn't as stupid as you think."
Hearing this, Luke smiled embarrassedly.
Maia went to the front desk and ordered a Lafite according to Tim's request. When she was about to
return to the private room, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It was Alexia!
Without knowing why, she followed after her.
Alexia went to another private room.
When Maia was following her at the door, she saw a few men inside. The man in the middle looked
tough, with a golden chain around his neck. It seemed that he was a nouveau riche.
When Alexia went in, she said coquettishly, "Mr. Bill, your call was a surprise to me. Why in such a
hurry? I had to dress up no matter what."
"You don't need to dress up."
Mr. Bill spoke in a gruff voice.
Maia realized that he wasn't local. Perhaps he was from somewhere else, like Tim.
Why did Alexia come to find this Mr. Bill?
Not long ago, Liam and his men had ambushed her and Tim. 'Why is Alexia here with this Mr. Bill?'
Maia said to herself. She felt that something was wrong.
She didn't have the guts to stay, so she quickly returned to Tim's private room with the Lafite.
Tim and Luke had begun to talk about other things such as women.
Maia tugged at Tim's sleeve.
Whenever Maia was tugging at his sleeve, Tim found this woman lovely.
He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to talk to you about."
Maia whispered.
At this moment, Luke had someone turn on the music and started ordering songs.
The sound of music quickly covered Maia's voice.
"What?"
Tim did not hear her clearly.
Maia had no choice but to shout to his ear, "I have something to tell you."
Luke happened to see this when he turned around. He smiled and hurriedly said, "Mr. Tim, I think you
two are quite loving. Why don't you sing a song together?"
Tim did not intend to explain such a misunderstanding, because explaining would only embarrass
Maia. Besides, he would not be able to guarantee Maia's safety if he made things clear. Only by
allowing these people to think that Maia was his girlfriend would they be polite to her, and they would
not have any ideas about Maia.
After all, nine out of ten men who came here were lecherous.
Maia was a little uncomfortable. She was in an effort to explain when Tim directly held her hand and
said, "Alright, let's sing a song together. However, I can't sing a note. Don't laugh at us."
As he spoke, he had already pulled Maia out.
"I can't sing."
Maia was a little embarrassed.
"Come on. I've heard you sing folk songs. It was amazing. What? You don't want to sing with me, but
other people in here?"
Tim was trying to convince everyone that Maia was his girlfriend, that she could only sing with him. This
way, they wouldn't lay their eyes on her.
Tim never said it, but he could see that among these people Luke brought, there were two men who
have fixed their eyes on Maia.
Nicole had asked him to take good care of Maia. If something happened, he would fail Nicole.
Moreover, he also felt that Maia was a good person. These beasts shouldn't be allowed to have any
thoughts about her.
However, what Tim did not know was that according to the customs of Maia's hometown, only lovers
could sing a song together.
Maia was a little embarrassed.
"Tim, I really can't sing."
"What do you mean you can't? Come on!"
Tim was trying to tell her something through his eyes, but Maia couldn't understand.
She felt that she had become dumber since she came here.
"I..."
"How about 'We Don't Talk Anymore'?"
Luke laughed upon Tim's words.
"Mr. Tim, it's a sad song. Let's think of another. 'Way Back into Love'?"
"You are probably the only one who knows how to sing such an old song."
Tim smiled faintly and pulled Maia's hand.
Maia could tell that it was a must to sing today. She thought of Alexia and Mr. Bill, then gritted her teeth
and asked, "If I sing it, will you go back with me?"
Luke and the others immediately laughed.
"Mr. Tim, Miss Maia wants to be alone with you. We are all eyesores now."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm too handsome."
Hearing this, Maia almost fainted.
Seeing that Maia was about to go berserk, Tim hurriedly said, "Alright, alright. We'll leave after this
song. God, you're not usually this impatient."
The others laughed again.
Maia felt that her face was so red, like the color of a ripe shrimp. She was on the edge of releasing her
anger.
She glared fiercely at Tim. Having no choice, she could only order a song. It was a folk song of her
hometown.
Maia thought to herself, 'Don't you want to sing? Here is your chance! Let's see how you sing. Anyway,
I'm not the one who will be embarrassed.'
Tim froze for a moment when he saw the folk song that Maia ordered. He looked at Maia meaningfully
and said, "You did it on purpose, right?"
"So what, Mr. Tim? You don't know how to sing it? Well, forget it, let's go."
Maia said as she put down the microphone.
However, Tim smiled and said, "I'm joking. There's nothing I can't do."
As he spoke, he picked up the microphone and started singing.
Maia was very astonished.
She never thought that Tim could even sing this song.
Looking at Maia's surprised gaze, Tim was pleased as punch.
He wouldn't tell Maia that he once had a comrade-in-arms who was from here, and that comrade-in-
arms would always sing this song during those three years.
If he couldn't sing this song Maia ordered—well, there would not be such a thing.
Luke and the others couldn't help but applaud when they see Tim sing this song so well.
Maia froze. She suddenly felt a little depressed.
Was there anything in this world that Tim could not do?
Why was he so good?
He was so capable, and he looked handsome too. He also had a good family background. How could
anyone else compare with him?
Seeing Maia's gloomy expression, Tim smiled and said, "Take it!"
Maia had no choice but to continue singing.
It had to be said that the duet between them was very tacit and harmonious. They really looked like
lovers.
After this folk song, Tim felt that his throat sore.
The song that Maia ordered was too loud. Tim hadn't indulged himself for a long time.
Taking a sip of water, he saw Maia tugging at his sleeve. She was asking him to leave.
Luke hurriedly said, "Mrs. Louis, let's have more fun."
He directly addressed Maia as Mrs. Louis.
Maia blushed a little. Fortunately, she was dark-skinned, so no one noticed her. Otherwise, she would
be really embarrassed.
Tim saw something in Maia's anxious eyes.
Something must have happened.
"Forget it, Luke. She wants me to buy her that bag. We should go now. Today's on me. Enjoy yourself.
Think carefully about what I said and give me a call tonight. If I haven't received your call by tomorrow
morning, I'll find someone else."
Luke immediately became a little serious.
"Alright, I'll think about it."
Tim left the private room with Maia.
He originally planned to take Maia away from here, but he didn't expect that Maia stopped halfway. She
pointed to another private room and said, "I saw Alexia when I went out to get the Lafite. She went to
that room, and there seemed to be a bad guy in there. I heard Alexia call him Mr. Bill. Maybe she is
trying to attack us again. What do you say?"
Tim frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, they had not been here for long after they reported on Thursday. Even if Alexia and
the others had received a call on Thursday that the mission had failed, Alexia wouldn't be so quick to
find someone that could help her.
But for the sake of caution, Tim still decided to be on guard.
"Wait here. I'll go take a look."
"Don't. How will you get in? Aren't you afraid that Alexia will see you?"
Maia felt that something was wrong with Tim.
Tim smiled and said, "I have my way. Don't move. Stay here. If you meet someone familiar, just say
that I've gone to the bathroom."
"I see. Be careful."
Maia couldn't help but worry about Tim.
Tim nodded and walked over.
The door to the private room was tightly shut, and there was a waiter standing at the door. When he
saw Tim coming over, he greeted him politely.
"Mister, the guests in this private room required to be undisturbed. Please go somewhere else."
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Tim said easily.
The waiter hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry. The rooms south of here are all reserved. If you want to go
to the bathroom, you can go to the first floor."
As he spoke, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Waiter, bring me a bottle of wine!"
A man inside instructed the waiter.
Taking advantage of this moment, Tim took a look inside. Alexia was sitting beside a rough man, and
the man was rubbing her lap with his hand.
Alexia looked at that man with a flattering expression and tacitly approved his actions.
Tim quickly turned around and left.
That Mr. Bill looked a little familiar to him. Why?
But for a moment, he couldn't remember who he was.
Alexia looked out the door and saw Tim's back.
Why was Tim here?
What did he see?
"Mr. Bill, I'm going to the bathroom."
As she spoke, Alexia was about to get up, but Mr. Bill directly pressed her down on the sofa.
"Bathroom? I haven't had enough fun yet."
As he spoke, he kissed Alexia.
Alexia did not have the nerve to resist. She allowed him to do his things, but she was extremely
worried.
When Tim came out, Maia hurriedly looked behind him and asked worriedly, "How is it?"
"Let's leave this place first."
Tim and Maia quickly walked towards the door. Because they were in such a hurry, they happened to
bump into a person opposite them.
It turned out bad for Tim.
