After she hung up, she tumed around and found a man standing not far away from her. Millie gasped in surprise when she saw him.
Leon looked lonely as he stood there with a black coat. Despite the cold look on his face, people still stared at him, admiring his handsface.

He had been nothing but cruel and ruthless to her. He ruined her career, threatened her and even wanted to throw her down a building. She had to hold a grudge against him, right?
From the tone of her voice, it didn’t sound like she hated him. Yes, she was cold, but that was all about it.
“She’s getting better,” Millie answered.
Her grandmother was indeed recovering better everyday. She would soon be leaving the hospital too. This was the reason why she couldn’t hate Leon no matter what he did to her.

Derek was worried about Marcus’ health. He didn’t like the fact that Marcus agreed to give lectures at Preagend University.
“Mr. Thomas, your wound may have healed a little thanks to the medicine you were given, but you don’t have to tire yourself out. Why do you want to give lectures in Preagend University?”
“Don’t worry, Derek. I know what I’m doing.”
Marcus brushed it off with a smile.
This was something that would be great in the long run. That would make Millie join the Thomas Group rightfully.
