Position: Intern jewelry designer.
Intern? Millie's eyebrows arched. Such a foundational role.
The morning hours waned, and still, no one enlightened Millie on her duties.
Her desk remained barren.
On numerous occasions, the urge to question those nearby welled up within her,
yet those individuals appeared keen on maintaining a certain distance. They
either feigned ignorance of her inquiries or promptly moved away without
acknowledgment.
Unbeknownst to her, Rosie had discreetly instructed the others through the
design department's group chat to remain tight-lipped and contribute more
actively.
The consensus was clear: Ms. Astley’s desire was for everyone to marginalize
Millie.
Despite Millie's status as the president's spouse, self-preservation guided their
decisions to distance themselves from her. Rumors had circulated within the
company that Mrs. Thomas held a strong aversion to Millie, with speculation of
an impending divorce looming over them.
Millie stood, and ventured to locate Rosie. Yet, finding an empty manager's
office, she retraced her steps and resumed her seat.
Lunchtime arrived, and the office emptied into the canteen, Millie among them.
The canteen of the Thomas Group sprawled across two floors, the upper one
reserved for the elite.
Millie secured her meal on the first floor, her mind whirring with the morning's
insights into corporate culture.
Upstairs, Marcus too made his way for lunch. His gaze drifted downwards,
catching sight of Millie seated in solitude at a corner, engrossed in her meal.
His brows furrowed. The entirety of his morning had been consumed by a
meeting centered around the viability of financing for the Tea Mount's tourism
expansion. Consequently, there had been no opportunity for him to inquire about
Millie’s circumstances.

As Marcus contemplated enlisting Derek's assistance to summon Millie,
Millie rose from her seat and exited the canteen.
His fingers danced across his phone, sending her a brief inquiry.
“Are you alright?”
Upon her exit from the canteen, Millie coincidentally spotted Rosie and Emerie,
who were arriving for lunch. In a deliberate act, they feigned obliviousness to her
presence and hastened their entry into the canteen.
Millie pivoted, narrowing her gaze, and promptly responded to Marcus’ message.
“Not bad.”
