Yesterday, Mia thought of making use of what Nathan shared to let her steam off. To teach Maya and Randy a lesson.
Encountering a better competitor was beyond Mia’s expectations..
Now that Nathan was checking on her, there had to be a problem.
“No. It’s just that I monitored someone using that program and checked on it. I was worried about you. Need help?”
“I’m good for now, I can handle it.” Nathan’s program was good enough for Mia.
Although a better competitor appeared, she had achieved her objective.
He didn’t expect that answer. “Okay. Call me if you need help.”
Nathan couldn’t pry further unless he intended to expose himself.
After Mia hung up, she watched the monitor. The competitor stopped the chase instead of continuing to track her down.
Regardless, her objective was achieved. Confronting that competitor would be an overkill. She didn’t want to bring Nathan trouble either.
“Mia, what are you doing here?” Maya saw Mia in the waiting area the moment she arrived.
Maya’s heels clicked with every step she made. “You shouldn’t be here,” she told Mia haughtily.
Mia’s eyes shot upward. “I came to retrieve my money. If not here, where else should I go?”
“Oh, you came to retrieve your money? I wonder who said she didn’t mind the compensation at all and yet here she is, all jumpy to get the money back.” A triumphant smile adorned Maya’s face.
As she had expected, Mia cared about the compensation.
Maya lowered her voice. “Want the money? Easy. Apologize to me sincerely and I’ll put in good
words to the Demolition Department. How about that?”
The degrading demand didn’t bother Mia at all. “No. I’m waiting for you guys to apologize and wire
the money to me.”
Maya cracked up. “Mia Bowen, are you crazy? You must be dreaming. If you don’t apologize to
me, you won’t receive that money forever. I’ll make that happen.”

Mia managed a smile. “Then I might as well demand an explanation of the company’s internal system. Let’s see how your brother would deal with it once he knows about this.”
Maya’s expression showed a slight unnatural change before she barked, “That’s my brother. Who do you think he’ll side with?”
Mia sneered in–return. “We’ll see.”
“You should’ve accepted my offer when I was being nice. You can keep waiting until pigs fly.”
There was no time for Maya to waste here. She had to settle Randy’s problem before he ruined the
plan. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
If Dominic found out that she was behind this, she would be over.
At the same time, Nathan engaged in a call with Dominic after talking with Mia over the phone.” Dominic, why don’t you ask why the hacker is doing this? That’s the key to resolving the issue.”
“I’ve asked. It could be a trick by a competitor.”
“This means you haven’t gotten the real answer yet. It’s surely not a competitor or whatnot. There’s something else behind this.” Nathan understood Mia very well. The problem didn’t start merely because of a competitor.
Dominic raised an eyebrow. “Nathan, what’s with beating around the bush? Do you know who the hacker is? Are you trying to protect him?”
Nathan gulped down his saliva. “Here’s a piece of advice. Investigate if it has something to do with the demolition of that old neighborhood Mia lived in. See how she’s already forced to hack into the company’s system? Did Mr. Skimmer pick on her?”
