    Simon said, extending a cordial greeting.


    Millie nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded to shake hands with both Simon. and Mrs. Barton, reciprocating the warm


    gesture.


    “My name is Millie. Nice to meet you too,” Millie responded with a friendly smile, pleased to make their acquaintance.


    Afterwards, Mrs. Barton continued to stroll gracefully along the snowy path, while Millie skillfully photographed from various


    angles—in front, behind, and from the side,


    Every time Millie took a picture, she made an effort to share some shooting knowledge with Simon. However, she noticed that he


    grew increasingly perplexed while trying to grasp her exnations. This reminded Millie of a sentence she had encountered


    during her photography studies.


    “simon, don’t overthink when we''re shooting. If we approach the camera with a rxed and genuine attitude, our photos will turn


    out well,” Millie advised, encouraging a more effortless and natural approach to photography.


    Millie’s simple advice had a significant impact. Simon had a sudden moment of enlightenment and confidently dered, “I know


    how to shoot now!”


    After spending more than an hour in the forest, Millie bid farewell to Mrs. Barton with a contented smile.


    Millie returned to the hotel, brushing off the snow from her body before entering her room. As she swiped her card to open the


    door, she was taken aback by what she saw inside.


    Inside the room, Marcus sat on the sofa, visibly impatient, as he flipped through a stack of materials.


    Derek was also present, searching for information alongside Marcus.


    As Millie opened the door, both Marcus and Derek turned their attention towards her. Marcus immediately noticed that her hair


    and boots were wet, likely from being outside in the snow.


    He promptly set aside the documents, his expression slightly furrowed, and inquired, “Where have you been?”


    Not having seen her all morning, Marcus couldn’t help but wonder if she wasn’t concemed about the cold. His concern for Millie


    was apparent as he questioned her.


    Marcus was deeply concerned about Millie’s absence, stating that he would have sent a search party if she hadn’t returned due


    to the potential risks posed by the snowy terrain.


    Millie noticed Marcus gazing at her head, prompting her to raise her hand and brush her hair. It was then that she realized her


    hair was wet. Upon seeing Marcus looking down, she lowered her head again and discovered that her boots were also wet.


    “| just walked around,” Millie exined, trying to reassure Marcus about her whereabouts. Feeling embarrassed, Millie quickly


    entered the room and said, “You can continue working.”


    Shortly after stepping into the inner room, Millie inadvertently overheard snippets of their conversation.


    During their conversation, Derek expressed his concern, stating that they must create the specific ne Mrs. Barton desired,


    or she wouldn''t sign the contract promptly. He found it puzzling that she insisted on this particr ne despite having


    abundant financial resources, reasoning that she could easily purchase any ne she liked.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    In response to Derek’s concerns, Marcus remarked, “She can perceive ourck of sincerity in this matter.”


    “What should we do next?” Derek inquired, seeking Marcus’ guidance on the way forward.


    “Feel free to go for now. I''ll take some time to consider it,” Marcus responded.
