Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter: 420
Upon hearing the news, Millie was rendered speechless.
Across from her, Nancy shot a smug glance at Millie, who was without her work,
and taunted, “Where's your design? Weren't you saying it would be here soon?”
Simultaneously, Marcus, his team, Mrs. Barton, her team, and the panel of
experts all turned their attention to Millie, fully aware that time was running short.
Both Humphrey and Laurel were present to witness the drama unfold.
Earlier, Laurel had informed Nancy that she was eager to see Millie’s defeat at
Nancy's hands. It promised to be quite the spectacle.
With a furrowed brow, Millie rose from her seat. “I'll wait outside.”
As she exited, Nancy turned to Mrs. Barton and stated, “Mrs. Barton, we're all
businesspeople here. We know the importance of punctuality. If her work isn’t
here by the deadline, she'll lose.”
Mrs. Barton agreed with a nod. “Of course.”
Outside, Millie pulled out her phone, dialing Dustin Rodgers, the person
responsible for transportation. Anger welled within her, threatening to overwhelm
her.
The work had been completed the previous afternoon. She had asked Dustin to
send it overnight, but he had assured her there was no rush.
He had a new girlfriend, and he wanted to spend the night with her. Now, it
seemed that his tardiness and a mishap on the road had led to this crisis.
It was all because he had wanted to enjoy some wine with his girlfriend and had
slept in this moming. He had sped along the road, trying to make up for lost time,
but then the unexpected flat tire at the foot of the mountain had thrown
everything into chaos.
Millie pondered for a moment. When she had been in the room earlier, Marcus
had looked at her with a feeling that was hard to describe. Was it that he found
her unreliable?
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. What was bothering him? If she failed
to produce the design, it would be she who faced humiliation, not him.
She made several calls, but no one picked up. Millie glanced at the clock again,
realizing there were less than five minutes remaining.
She lowered her eyes to her feet, wishing she had superpowers to fly down the
mountain and retrieve her work.
As Millie’s anxiety mounted, Marcus walked out of the room.
