    +5 Pearls


    Millypleted her interview and left Vi’s ce. Before she left, she made sure to collect three


    months rent. It was 150 dors per month, so it totaled 450 dors.


    Although she had previously given Vi 15 thousand dors, Milly believed firmly in the principle of


    business. She had to pay rent no matter what; there was no room for charity.


    Relief washed over Milly after the matter was settled, but this feeling was short–lived.


    As soon as she sat in the car, a sense of unease crept over her.


    Philip, with an excited grin, waved his phone around, enthusiastically sharing some news. “Hey,


    Frank, watch out for the news. I made it onto TV! When’s it airing? That’s not important. What


    matters is that I’m on TV, on the national news! Yes, yes…”


    Meanwhile, Jordan was also on the phone, but there was an unsettling chill about him. Milly was not


    sure if she was imagining things, but for a moment, she thought she detected a hint of … distress in


    his eyes when he nced at her.


    However, he quickly averted his gaze. Milly rubbed her nose, wondering if she had been mistaken.


    Jordan is the CEO of the But Group, and his every move can sway Adonio’s stock market–could


    he really be distressed? It must have been a trick of the light, she told herself.


    The one most visibly excited was Apollo, who ran up to her and greeted her enthusiastically with his


    loud. howls. Milly patted his head with an affectionate smile.


    Once seated, Ivan turned to her with a grin on his face, asking. “Ms. Milly, shall we head home


    now?”


    Milly nodded and was about to respond when Jordan, who had just ended his call, interjected


    sharply, “Of course we’re going home. What else would we do? Continue the interview?”


    Milly wasn’t sure if she had heard him right, but she could hear a distinct emphasis on the word


    ‘interview.


    Sensing Jordan’s icy tone, Ivan wisely refrained from further conversation, as he figured that he was


    still jealous and that it wouldn’t be wise for him to say anything more. He instructed the driver to


    start the car and discreetly raised the partition, preferring not to look at Jordan so as to not be the


    target of his fury.


    Milly blinked, puzzled by the situation. Tentatively, she asked, Jordan, is something wrong at the


    company? If there is, you should go and take care of it.”


    Jordan turned to her, his expression tense. “Thepany is fine. What could possibly be wrong?


    After all, I handle all the annual financial news interviews. No one else can do it!”


    He shot her another meaningful look after saying that.


    It was evident–Jordan was upset, though Milly couldn’t quite fathom why.


    Trying to ease the tension, she said, “Do you get interviewed every year? This was my first formal


    interview. When I’m free, I should watch your past ones to learn from you.”


    Jordan gave her another look and replied, “There’s nothing special to watch. They’re just business


    talks. Unlike some, I’ve never been interviewed as a parent without doing anything to earn it.”

    Milly was taken aback.


    If she did not get it now, she would really be dense.

    Jordan was upset, but at least he was not outright using her of being a heartbreaker or


    something.


    Quickly. Milly rified, Jordan, I actually considered having you interviewed as a parent. But, you


    know, your voice is too recognizable. Even though you’re just a businessman and not a celebrity,


    you have quite a fanbase. Just recently, you were voted the most eligible bachelor in an informal


    poll.


    “If you had answered the call, your fans would have recognised your voice and conduct a thorough


    search. about me before criticising me online!”


    Jordan knew that she was telling the truth and understood her reasoning. Nevertheless, he could


    not help but feel irritated, especially when he was reminded of Philip’s joyous demeanour then.


    However, seeing Milly patiently exin without getting upset about his tantrum alleviated much of


    his frustration


    Still, he still felt indignant and muttered, “There are voice changers for a reason.”


    In other words, he was willing to use a voice changer to do the interview.


    Observing Jordan’s serious expression, Milly fell silent once more, unsure of what to say.


    A voice changer? Can you imagine Jordan, the assertive CEO, using a voice modtor?


    Wait. It’s just an interview. Why is he so insistent on doing it!


    Knowing Jordan was still upset, Milly refrained from opposing him, even though she found his idea


    impractical.


    Instead, she went along with his idea and remarked, “Next time there’s an interview, I’ll ensure you


    go first, Jordan. I want everyone to see how handsome my brother is. Not only that, but I want to


    show them that you take great care of me too!”


    With each word she said, Jordan’s tense demeanour softened a bit more.


    Seeing that her approach was effective, Milly’s eyes brightened. She yfully tugged at Jordan’s


    sleeve, saying, “Come on, Jordan. Forgive me this time, okay? I’m an actress, so I’ll have plenty


    more interview opportunities in the future.


    “If you’re still concerned, I could announce our rtionship on Twitter tomorrow and ask Bonnie to


    boost it to be one of the trending topics for three days straight!”


    By the time she started pulling on his sleeve, Jordan’s anger had already melted away.”


    Now, hearing her confident tone, he could not help but smile, feeling amused. He arched an


    eyebrow, his eyes betraying his affection as he replied with a sneer, “Oh, really? Weren’t you the


    one who always said you wanted to climb to the top of the entertainment industry on your own


    merits?”


    Milly, always perceptive, noticed Jordan had softened and felt her spirits lift as well. She narrowed


    her eyes and grinned, her lips curving upward.


    “Career ambitions can wait. You’re more important. Jordan!”

    Jordan could not contain his smile any longer after hearing that. He reached out and affectionately


    tousled her hair, much like she often did with Apollo. “You really know how to get to me, don’t you?”


    he said, his every word oozing with love.

    He could never bear to see his sister give up her dreams and hard work. Just hearing her say that


    made him happy.


    Milly blinked. “Of course not! Jordan, you’re incredibly smart; you’re probably the smartest person in


    the world. How could I dare deceive you? I can post on Twitter right away!”


    She even lifted her phone, as if she was about to make the post.


    Coincidentally, they had just arrived at the Buts‘ residence. Ivan lowered the partition and


    nced. backward discreetly. He was relieved to see that the tension had dissipated and Jordan


    had finally been appeased by Milly.


    Upon hearing Milly


    quickly intervened. “Ms. M. Posting on Twitter, Ivan, thinking she wanted to exin the trending


    topics,


    quickly intervened, “Ms. Milly, now is not the right time. It’s better not to post anything on Twitter at


    the moment. It’s not worth the risk.”


    Suddenly, the temperature in the car seemed to have dropped by a hundred degrees.
