Bria advanced into the rain, intending to enforce Millie’s compliance. Swiftly,
Millie’s hand swept through the air, a resounding slap landing on Bria’s cheek.
“step back!” Millie's admonishment cleaved through the air as Bria reeled from
the impact, her hand cradling her stinging countenance and her body
succumbing to the rain-soaked ground.
She turned to Marcus for help. “Sir, I did what madam ordered me to do. But
Millie slapped me.”
Marcus’ voice cut through the rain, its frigidity rivaled only by the downpour itself.
“Millie, does your arrogance persist even now?”
“A mere slap is too lenient.” Millie's hand ascended, capturing a handful of
rainwater. The gesture was an attempt to cleanse herself. Bria's countenance
had left an indelible mark that triggered Millie’s disgust upon contact.
Once the cleansing ritual concluded, Millie's gaze returned to Marcus, her tone
measured and composed.
“Marcus, your allure attracts an abundance of admirers, rendering proximity to
you perilous. Fortunately, I don't ... love..... you.”
Among them, Rhea and Nancy were both epitomes of malevolence.
Back at the Snow Mountain Villa, Millie had been pushed to the brink of death
from cold.
Spending the whole night in the rain could well prove fatal.
Throughout her life, Millie had embodied an unrelenting dynamism, consistently
propelling herself forward and vanquishing the malevolent adversaries that
crossed her path.
However, if she were to endure a life characterized by such struggles in the days
to come, the weariness it promised was simply too overwhelming to bear.
With a resolute about-face, Millie departed from the scene.
In the rain, Marcus remained, his gaze steadfast upon the diminishing figure of
Millie, watching her stride into obscurity.
Marcus remained fixed in his stance, an embodiment of stillness. His eyes,
darkened by bitterness, bore witness to the turmoil within. Derek, his years of
service rendering him an astute observer of Marcus’ demeanor, found his boss*
countenance colder and more ruthless than he had ever witnessed.

“Tm merely suggesting that circumstances might not be as straightforward as

Marcus’ retort intensified, his voice a frigid rebuke. “Are you blind? She brought
the soup herself.”
