Chapter: 417
Millie recalled that he often got up earlier than her. Here in this hotel, he got up
earlier than her, but she justified it by his responsibilities.
Their argument waned, and a silence fell as they gazed into each other's eyes.
Millie felt drawn into his gaze, unable to escape, seeing her reflection in his eyes.
Her logic warned her not to succumb, but she felt powerless.
Breaking the spell, Millie told Marcus, “You should rise. It's getting late.”
After Marcus left, Millie tried to sleep more but found herself restless, and so she
went out.
Upon entering the hotel's hall, she encountered Nancy and Laurel at the café,
their spoons turning slowly.
Next to them lay Nancy's design draft, both women giving Millie a chilly stare.
Millie appeared slightly worn, ordered a coffee, and found a secluded comer to sit
in.
It was a small cafe. Despite her chosen spot, she could hear Nancy and Laurel's
conversation.
With a casual tone, Nancy remarked while casting a glance in the direction of
Millie, who was not too far off.
“Her eyes are marked with dark circles. It seems that her anxiety over completing
the design kept her awake throughout the night.”
“Certainly. Her uncooperative mind refuses to provide her any inspiration. Just
observe, Nancy, her under-eye circles will likely worsen tomorrow.”
Swirling her coffee, Millie took a sip before setting it aside. She then approached
the table where Nancy was seated, casting a glance at the draft paper. Noticing
that Nancy had only just started the design, a smile crept across Millie’s face.
“Just starting? I apologize. My design is already complete. Put in the effort,
Nancy, because by the time you finish your design, mine will be produced.”
Nancy quickly hid her design, fearful Millie might see it.
Did Millie mention that her design was already completed?
Was she kidding?
Subsequently, Nancy noticed that Millie had departed.
