Chapter 105
After she was done with work, Aurelia laid in bed, looking through her phone.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone vibrated.
She thought Millie had finally replied to her messages and quickly unlocked her phone.
It turned out to only be messages from the company group chat.
“Millie, was it you I saw at the Glamour Shopping Center?”
Glamour Shopping Center? Wasn’t that the mall that only sold luxury brands?
Kimberly frequented that mall, but why would Millie be there?
In the midst of Aurelia’s confusion, Millie replied. “It’s me.”
Another person replied. “Is the tall and handsome guy next to you your boyfriend?”
“Not really.” Millie answered vaguely.
However, these vague responses were enough to invite speculation.
“Are you
sure? I saw him buying you all sorts of nice things. He’s treating you so nicely.”
“Yeah, he’s not too bad.” Millie replied.
“Apart from Kimberly, you’re impressing me most now. You either want a great catch like this or nothing
else.”

“Speaking of which, what happened to Kimberly’s rich, handsome suitor? Didn’t she say she’d
introduce him to us?”
Kimberly didn’t respond.
“@KimberlyWatson.”
A few colleagues tagged Kimberly, but she didn’t respond.
In the end, it was Millie that supposedly hated Kimberly the most who spoke up.
“Let’s stop. Maybe she’s just busy.”
Instantly, silence loomed over the group. Even Aurelia was stunned.
Millie was actually standing up for Kimberly.
Realizing that something was off, she immediately gave Millie a call.
After a few beeps, Millie finally picked up.
“Millie, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Are you disappointed?” Millie said sarcastically.
“What…what do you mean?” Aurelia said, surprise.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone last night? Do you know that I almost got violated by the
blind date guy at the bar because of you?” Millie accused.
Hearing this, Aurelia froze for a moment and Millie continued to reproach her.

“Aurelia, was I not good enough to you? I stood up for you when the others targeted you. Yet, this is
how you treat me. I trusted you so much and asked for your help, yet you just ignored. me.”
“No, I went out last night …” Aurelia explained.
“Are you seriously going to make excuses now? Is it that difficult for you to admit your mistakes? It’s no
wonder people don’t like you! Don’t you think it’s all your fault? It’s so exhausting to be your friend,”
Millie spoke bitterly.
“Is that really how you really think about me?” Aurelia’s chest heaved and she felt as if she were
choking.
Millie paused for a moment, realizing that she had spoken too harshly.
She immediately changed her tone and said, “I didn’t mean that. I was just really angry.”
However, there was no way to take back what was already said.
Aurelia wasn’t a pushover. She took a deep breath and retorted, “Millie, are you using me as a
punching bag for your anger?”

before your date that the guy was suspicious.
“I kept messaging you halfway through, and did you reply to me? Now that something happened,
you’re blaming me?
“You’re an adult, Millie. Don’t you understand that there’s no such thing as free lunches?”
As Aurelia spoke, she recalled Leslie’s words.
Millie understood it well. She just wanted to take shortcuts.
Millie stayed silent.
Aurelia pursed her lips and said, “Stop throwing tantrums. Did you report this to the police?”
Millie suddenly raised her voice. “We’re not reporting this to anyone! Do you want to
embarrass me even more?”
“Millie, what if this person goes on to harm others?”
“Why should I care? If you tell anyone this, I’ll be forced to die.”
“Millie…”
