    With an apologetic expression on her face, she said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Barton. | didn’t mean to hide it from you.”


    Mrs. Barton''s eyes widened, and she gasped, reflexively covering her mouth. “Oh, my God! You''re really his wife!”


    Not only was Millie skilled at photography and jewelry design, but she was also a wealthy man’s wife. She was truly one-of-a-


    kind.


    “You''re so humble. You didn’t tell me who you were, so | thought you were just an ordinary girl. Mr. Thomas, you have excellent


    taste. She’s beautiful and talented.


    You two suit each other,” Mrs. Barton gushed.


    Her words quickly made Millie blush.


    The woman then asked, “You''re obviously skilled at designing jewelry, so why is Nancy the Thomas Group’s chief designer


    instead of you?”


    Why didn’t Marcus promote his talented wife to be hispany’s chief designer? It confused Mrs. Barton.


    Derek stole a nce at Marcus, who was frowning. It was difficult to respond to Mrs. Barton''s inquiry concerning Millie’s talent in


    jewelry design because no one was aware of it before.


    While Millie was wondering how to answer Mrs. Barton''s question, Simon chose this moment to butt into their conversation.


    “Mrs. Barton, we need to get going now. We might miss our flight if we don’t.”


    Simon wanted to hear the answer to Mrs. Barton’s question as well, but they could not waste any more time there.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “T''ll tell you the next time youe to Preagend,” Millie finally said.


    As the Mercedes-Benz pulled away from the Snow Hotel, she waved farewell to Mrs. Barton.


    As she lowered her hand, she felt a sense of finality. Mrs. Barton was gone, and Marcus got the deal he wanted.


    Nancy, standing on the balcony with a snowball in her hand, took in the harmonious scene at the entrance of the hotel. The sight


    of it repulsed her.


    She wished Millie would quietly disappear like snow.


    Millie and Dustin turned around when they both felt eyes on them.


    Marcus was staring at them intently as if he were interrogating a criminal.


    “Mr. Thomas, we just visited some tourist spots nearby, but please don’t misunderstand. Millie and | are just friends,” Dustin


    exined.


    He was certain that Mr. Thomas was ring at him because he considered him a love rival.


    “Why are you exining to him?” Millie asked,pletely unaware of what was going through Marcus’ mind.
