    Did he like Millie? He was not really sure about that because they had just met.


    He could not deny that he feltfortable around the woman, though.


    “I''m sorry, but | can’t answer that. It’s a personal matter.”


    Rhea silently berated him for his response, but she maintained a smile on her face.


    “Look, | just want to help because | can tell you’re interested in Millie. | guess we should clear up a misunderstanding first. It may


    not look like it, but Millie and | are actually good friends. She’s just angry at me right now because we got into a little bit of an


    argument.”


    After a while, Patrick asked, “Does this mean that Millie is still single?”


    Finally, the most important question was asked. Rhea did not even bat an eye as she lied.


    “Yes, she’s absolutely single right now.”


    “Then tell me. What''s the rtionship between her and Mr. Thomas?”


    It was still bugging Patrick. Millie denied being Marcus’ employee, and she also imed they had just met, but they clearly had


    known each other for some time.


    Patrick knew Millie was lying to him.


    “Oh, my God! Do you think that Millie and Marcus are a couple? Don''t be silly. Millie is an excellent woman, but the Thomases


    don’t just ept anyone into their family.


    Trust me; you have nothing to worry about. You can boldly pursue her.” Rhea made it sound usible.


    Patrick asked, “You''re not lying, are you?”


    “| promise I’m telling the truth! Anyway, as | said, Millie is an excellent woman.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    She''s pretty and smart. You''d better hurry up. We won''t stay here for long.”


    Rhea raised both fists in an encouraging gesture before walking away.


    Millie, who was busy picking oranges, suddenly sneezed. Little did she know, her enemy was talking about her and even singing


    her praises.


    It was unthinkable, after all.


    Two hourster, everyone in the orchard started working in teams to pack oranges.


    With her head bowed, Millie stuffed oranges into the box. She was being assisted by the owner of the orchard, Latoya Carter.


    Some people noticed that Latoya had been stealing nces at Millie, and one of them decided to talk to her.
