Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Maisie stood in stunned silence as a voice emanated from outside.

"Yes, I'm worried too!" The two turned toward the source of the voice and spotted Lily walking in, positioning herself

in front of the mirror.

"I'm here to powder my face! Ignore me, go ahead!" Lily declared, and Camila smiled in response.

Maisie couldn't shake the feeling that Camila's expression changed upon seeing Lily, though she couldn't be certain

if it was just an illusion.

"Oh, Maisie, are you going home?" Lily turned her head to inquire after applying lipstick. "Perfect. We're done

eating now, so I thought we'd call it a night so that everyone could go home. I'll give you a ride! Rachael didn't

drink. She'll drive!"

"I..." Maisie attempted to speak, but Camila interjected, "Is that okay, Ms. Lily? Won't it be awkward if you run into

my cousin when you send her home?"

"Hmm?" Lily, a bit tipsy from the drinks, hadn't considered that. She asked aloud, "What's there to be awkward

about? Do you think it's awkward, Maisie? If I run into Daniel, you'll just tell him that we went drinking. What can he

do about it? What? You can't have your own life and friends when you date him?"

"Ms. Lily, that's not what I meant!" Camila whispered, "Weren't you and my cousin. Forget it. I'll get him to pick her

up!"

Lily squinted, seemingly more sober now. She looked at Camila with a cryptic smile. "So, you want Daniel to come?"

"I—" Camila started, but Lily cut her off, "I'm talking to Maisie, not you! Why do you talk so much?"

Camila fell silent.

Sensing Lily's unsteadiness, Maisie rushed to support her. Lily smiled at her, patted her shoulder, and gestured for

her to follow, assuring her a safe ride home.

As they left, Maisie couldn't help but glance back and caught a momentary flash of malice on Camila's face under

the dim bathroom light.

Shocked, Maisie saw Camila waving with a smile. "Safe trip home, Ms. Lily. Safe trip home, too, Maisie! Please take

care of her!"

"Mm-hmm, safe trip. Safe trip home, everyone!" Lily waved without turning around, and Maisie's racing heart

gradually calmed.

Reflecting on it, Maisie considered Camila's usual kindness and professionalism. How could she harbor malice?

The gathering concluded in cheerful conversations.

On the weekend morning, Daniel brought breakfast to the hotel room. Upon entering, he found Maisie asleep at the

table with her computer still on.

Despite being upset, he gently moved her to the bed, careful not to wake her. Yet, she stirred awake.

Opening her eyes, she frowned momentarily but relaxed upon seeing Daniel. She smiled and nestled in his embrace

like a soft kitten.

"Why did you sleep at the table?" he nagged gently. "And you're wearing so little. You might catch a cold, you know

that?"

Maisie smiled lazily. "Mm-hmm..."

"Would you skip breakfast if I didn't bring it to you?"

"Mm-hmm^"

Pretending to be mad, he said, "How will I ever be at ease if you're like that?!"

"Okay, I'm sorry. Alright?" Maisie coquettishly responded. "I'd like to sleep more, Daniel..."

"Sleep," he said helplessly but gently, "I'll get them to warm your breakfast. I'll bring it up to you when you wake

up."
