Taken aback, Millie recoiled. Recovering from her fear, she swung around and glowered at the bodyguards. She was certain they were responsible.

“Mr. Thomas, it’s tto depart for MadClaudia’s birthday celebration.”
Marcus glanced at the clock. “We'll leave in half an hour.”
As Derek nodded and exited the room, Marcus received a phone call from Bruce.
“What's the issue?”
“Marcus, have you and Millie left for the party? I'm already at the venue. Remember how late you were last year? Try not to repeat that,” Bruce implored.
