“No. My calf just feels sore from standing for long,” she answered without even looking at him, her lips stubbornly pressed together.
Those girls didn’t like her from the get-go, and their mean words honestly wore her down. She felt like she was alone fighting against them. It was okay at first, but now her husband had given them more incentives to keep saying absurdities.
“May I have my phone now?” she asked coldly.
Marcus nodded. Sensing her growing anger, he began to doubt his reaction a little.
He was also angry that she was in touch with Leon, but he couldn’t talk about it now.

After she opened the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back, staring hard at Marcus and the complicated emotions in his eyes.
Millie felt like she was rooted to the spot as she recalled exactly how the scene in class went down.
Now that she thought about it, Marcus only made her stand after he saw the message on her phone.
What made him react that way was the person she was talking with and not even the fact that she was using her phone.
She knew that he and Leon were what she could call nemesis. His anger could be understood. She contacted one of the highest people he didn’t like right under his nose.
Millie closed the door and walked back to him. She suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him.

“He wanted a design sketch fromand I decided to give it to him since he saved my grandma. That’s the only reason he’s texting me,” she explained and rested her head on Marcus’ shoulder. He was stiff and cold at first. Even when she hugged him tight, he was still cold.
Although she understood his anger, Millie was a little confused. Why would Marcus have such a drastic reaction just because of a message from Leon?
Marcus was pleasantly stunned by her action. This meant she could tell he was not happy and wanted to please him.
After a moment, he melted and hugged her back tightly before releasing her.

I hope you attend and focus in your afternoon classes. | really want you to cand work at Thomas Group. If Nancy is the only reason stopping you, I promise you that once her contract is over, I won’t renew it.”
Millie’s eyes went wide in surprise. She never expected to hear such words from his mouth.
“But Nancy is the chief jewelry designer at your company, and she has a great reputation,” Millie said, as if reminding Marcus that Nancy leaving wouldn’t bring any profit to the company, but losses instead.
Marcus nodded and said, “Don’t worry about that. It’s left up toto handle it. You were able to defeat her at the Snow Hotel. That means you’re stronger and better than her.”
In the past, he had a prejudice against Millie and thought she was an opportunistic woman. But those thoughts were far away from his mind. Not only did she defeat Nancy, but she turned out to be the
designer behind D.S Jewelry. These were more than enough to prove that Millie possessed exceptional design abilities.
He was doing the right thing by choosing Millie. Both for professional and personal reasons.
