Meanwhile, Millie, immersed in her tasks, was interrupted by a call from Celeste.
Cold and curt, Celeste’s voice pierced through the receiver, “Meet me at the café
downstairs. Don't dawdle.”
Millie sighed, her anticipation heavy with unease. Celeste's tone carried the
telltale signs of discord. It appeared a confrontation of an unpleasant nature
awaited her.
However, obligation compelled her attendance.
With determination, Millie rose from her seat and descended the staircase to the
ground floor.
Seated by the window, Celeste tracked Millie's approach, her brow furrowing in
displeasure.
Unexpectedly, Millie had found her way into the Thomas Group. The woman
Celeste had endeavored to expel was now entrenched within the company's
ranks, a disconcerting departure from her intentions.
Marcus had evidently made his decision—Millie would stay.
“Mom,” Millie addressed her, easing into her seat.
Celeste’s gaze remained fixed on the coffee she stirred, a deliberate avoidance
of meeting Millie's eyes.
“Who granted you the privilege of being a part of the Thomas Group?”
Celeste’s glance flickered to Millie's employee badge on her chest. The emblem
was an aspiration for many—a ticket pursued with relentless effort.
“I earned my place based on merit,” Millie responded calmly.
Celeste’s gaze, a frigid blade, met Millie's as she lifted her badge off her chest.
“Merit, you say? I'm aware that the so-called evaluation process bears the imprint
of Marcus. Your high scores and subsequent admission to the Thomas Group are
products of his intervention.”
Rage painted Celeste’s cheeks crimson, though Millie remained unperturbed, her
voice steady.
“You may harbor doubts, but I advise you to place your trust in Marcus.”
Millie's conviction was unwavering, a resolute gaze much like that which defied
the prospect of divorce before—a sight that fanned Celeste’s simmering anger.
