Returning to the present moment, Marcus cleared his throat and spoke.


    “Of course, proceed with the assignments.


    ”


    Marcus nced at the clock and uttered, “Dismiss.


    ”


    Then he stood up and strode out, followed by Derek, who hastened to catch up.


    “Mr.


    Thomas, the Fairclough family just called and invited you to have dinner with them tomorrow night.


    ”


    Marcus paused for a second.


    The Fairclough family was in the coal business, which had faced challenges in recent years due to government regtions.


    However, with new leadership, they had managed to revive their fortunes.


    This time, they were spending generously on the uing wedding, likely to unt their regained sess.


    Lately, Marcus had been inclined to decline evening social engagements, as he now preferred spending his nights with Millie.


    In the meeting room, the attendees gradually rose from their seats and began to exit.


    Emerie bit her lower lip and gingerly touched her stinging cheek.


    “What happened to your face?”


    Nancy approached, curious, as she hadn’t noticed any change in Emerie’splexion earlier.

    Emerie withdrew her hand, and her eyes zed with anger.


    “Millie pped me, that bitch!”


    Nancy’s eyes widened in astonishment, and her brows furrowed.


    “Well, but I had my own revenge.


    I nted a sachet in her desk drawer, which triggered an allergic reaction all over her body, leaving her covered in rashes.


    And today, I deliberately exposed her red, irritated skin by removing her mask in front of everyone.


    ”


    Upon recalling the image of Millie’s irritated skin beneath her mask,


    Emerie’s mood improved considerably.


    A faint smile crept onto Nancy’s lips.


    The satisfaction was palpable.


    “Seeing her suffer is quite gratifying.


    I wish I could destroy that face forever.


    ”


    Emerie was taken aback.


    Was Nancy implying something far more sinister?


    “Nancy, honestly, I don’t think Marcus pays her much heed.


    Millie is just an intern in the design department, essentially starting from scratch.


    If Mr Thomas was truly infatuated with her, he wouldn’t have let her begin at the bottom.
