“Why the silence? Are you not pleased with this development?”
Marcus lifted her chin to meet her eyes.
She blinked thoughtfully.
“I'm just a modest intern designer. What say could I possibly have over the Chief
Designer's departure?”
Marcus lowered his hand, sparing her chin from reddening. When he heard Millie
describe herself as just a modest intern designer, a smirk crossed his face.
“I sense you're not entirely happy with this outcome. What would you have
done?”
After a moment's thought, Millie said, “If you really want to know, I wouldn't mind
seeing her boiled, maybe even deep-fried.”
Having been put in danger by Nancy twice, Millie had little reason to be
magnanimous. Yet, these were just words. If she actually had it in her to be that
ruthless, Nancy would have been out of the picture long ago.
Marcus chuckled.
“You're quite fierce, aren't you?”

“If you think I'm too fierce, maybe you should look for someone kinder.”
She was the kind of person who would go the extra mile for those who treated

thing coming.
Marcus realized his jest had been misconstrued.
Just as he was about to clarify, the elevator doors slid open, and he led Millie out.
“Even if you're so fierce, that's fine by me. I'm not letting go of you.”
They reached Gray's Restaurant, where the Fairclough family had booked a
secluded dining room. In attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Fairclough as well as
their daughter, Miss Fairclough.
Mr. and Mrs. Fairclough, along with their daughter, greeted them warmly.
Mr. Fairclough raised his glass.
