That night, Millie found pure joy on the swing, herughter ringing in the air.


    When they returned to their room, Marcus quickly guided her to the bathroom, indicating it was time for


    a bath.


    Once in the bathroom, Millie’s eyelids felt heavy, and she struggled to keep them open. Marcus


    tenderly held the showerhead with one hand, applying body wash with the other. Millie’s eyes fluttered


    open for a moment, catching sight of Marcus’ fit physique. A blush rose to her cheeks.


    How had they ended up in the bath together?


    Especially in a ce as sacred as this.


    After their shower, they retreated to bed. Marcus’ longing for Millie had grown, and he found himself


    unable to resist any longer. As he drew closer, Millie’s heart raced, and she ced her hands on his


    shoulders, whispering, “No, not here.”


    Marcus’ smile was gentle.


    “Isn’t it more romantic here?”

    Millie’s cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red, dismissing his words as foolish.


    Marcus’ voice was soft and maic as he smoothed her hair.


    “I’ve done my part; surely there must be something in return.”


    Millie’s eyes widened in surprise.


    “What did you even do?”


    “I pushed the swing.”


    In her mind, Millie couldn’t help but think he really knew how to drive a hard bargain. Finding herself


    without a counterargument, she reluctantly agreed.

    whispered, “Honey, I’m so tired.”


    Marcus’ response was light and teasing, a gentle pat conveying his affection.


    “You just rxed and enjoyed yourself. How can you be tired?”

    The moment Ryan disembarked from the ne, he was informed of Humphrey’s press conference.


    Upon arriving at thepany, he immediately confronted Humphrey, his voice raised in anger.


    “Who gave you permission to hold a press conference and release that piece of work?”


    Humphrey, although guilty, was not without his reasons.


    “Why shouldn’t we release a piece of work if we have it?


    Particrly when it’s such an exceptional piece that can bring substantial benefits to thepany,”


    Humphrey argued, his tone firm.
