The previous night’s memories flooded back—the window she had secured with conviction, the upright pillow now flattened. Apanic seized Millie. Had she shared her bed with a stranger last night?

Was that Marcus? No way. He wouldn't deign to share a bed with her. It couldn’t have been him.

Could it have been an intruder?

Gods! Millie’s heart hammered against her chest. She hastily scanned herself, relieved to find no signs of violations.

Millie had arrived late, exuding an air of languid ease that sharply contradicted the corporate tempo.

Moreover, Millie was a mystery to the company. Judgments began to swirl around her. Rhea, particularly sour-faced, shot Millie a glare and muttered a spiteful phrase under her breath. “such a languorous creature. She must have been a pig in a past life,” she scored.

Millie remained oblivious to Rhea’s barbed remark, yet those sharing Rhea’s table were not so deaf. A chorus of muffled laughter erupted from behind cupped hands.

“Mrs. Thomas, your presence is requested at Mr. Thomas’ table.” Derek approached to guide Millie, a hint of servility in his voice. Following Derek's indication, Millie’s gaze landed on an empty seat at the far end.

Scanning the room, she noted the multitude of people seated around her. With a gracious nod, she thanked Derek and trailed behind him.
