“What’s wrong?”


    “I need you to design a bracelet for my mother. Her health has been declining recently, and she’s


    feeling quite down. I think a gift might lift her spirits,” the friend exined.


    “It’s all on me,” Millie said with joy.


    “Grace, I couldn’t get a wink of sleepst night,” Millie confessed, resting her forehead on the desk.


    Whenever she felt down, Grace was her most reliable confidante.


    Marcus had been acting strangelytely, and she couldn’t figure out why.

    “You couldn’t sleep? What’s going on? Share it with me, and I’ll help you make sense of it,” Grace


    inquired right away.


    “Last night, Marcus returned home toote. He woke me up, and I couldn’t get back to sleep,” Millie


    exined, withholding some of the details. She didn’t want to appear as a woman consumed by lLove-


    induced sorrow. She sought a carefree life, focusing on her career without love getting in the way.


    But Marcus’ unusual behavior the previous night had thrown her off bnce.


    “In my view, it’s not histeness that troubled you, but the fact that you don’t know why he’s always out


    and returnste. That’s what’s really bothering you, right? Millie, I’m here for you, no matter what you


    choose to do. You’re his wife; you should insist that he be home by ten. You are more important than


    thepany,”


    Grace firmly advised.


    Millie blushed, realizing that Grace understood her perfectly.


    “Is Marcus at thepany now? If not, call him and ask what he’s up to. You should always know


    where he is. Don’t give others any opportunity.”


    Later that afternoon, Marcus left thepany. Millie watched his car drive away from her spot by the


    window.


    “I don’t know if that’s wise. What if he’s doing something important?”


    Millie hesitated.


    “So what? Just ask quickly and hang up. Millie, you can’t be timid when ites to keeping your


    husband in line!” Grace countered.


    After their chat, Millie tapped her fingertips on the table, bolstering her courage. She called Marcus and


    walked out of the design department.

    The phone connected almost instantly.


    “Honey,” Marcus whispered, signaling to someone nearby that he needed to take the call.


    The background conversation ceased, and Millie, swallowing nervously, asked, “Where are you?”


    “I’m ying golf. What’s going on?” Marcus replied. He knew Millie wouldn’t call without a reason, and


    he wondered what prompted the call.


    He wasn’t lying. His schedule clearly showed a golf game with suppliers that afternoon.


    Laughter erupted from the background. “Calling to check up on him during the day, huh? Mrs. Thomas,


    you run a tight ship, don’t you?”


    Millie’s face turned crimson. What could she say? She just wanted to know where he was.


    “Millie?”


    “Nothing. Keep going. I’m hanging up.” Millie ended the call quickly, her embarrassment evident.
