Millie nced at the camera, noticing it was indeed turned off, and then shot Marcus an irate look.


    “That’s mot a guarantee. A couple from a prestigious university recently made headlines for


    inappropriate behavior in a park. The video was uploaded online and it’s be the talk of the nation.


    Does this suggest that the students from that university are Lacking in smarts?”


    That couple had be social pariahs overnight.


    Marcus tried to contain augh, clearly entertained by Millie’s blush and the subject matter.


    “So what exactly did this couple do?”


    Millie turned her head away, avoiding specifics.


    “They did something they shouldn’t have.”

    Upon seeing Marcus’s grin widen, her cheeks flushed even more. Why had she given him such an


    example?


    He was obviously feigning innocence.


    Clearing her throat, Millie shot him a stern look.


    “Enough with theughter. The one whoughs is a fool.”

    Marcus suppressed hisughter and feigned innocence.


    “I’m just curious what this couple did that’s making you blush like this.”


    Millie felt a wave of irritation at Marcus’s feigned seriousness.


    “Marcus Thomas. I never thought you could be this annoying.”


    It was rare of her calling his full name. Marcus had to bite back hisughter to keep a straight face.


    Quick to shift the subject, Millie asked, “So, Nancy’s departure. Was that your doing?”


    Marcus’s gaze sharpened. He’d been considering terminating Nancy’s contract for some time. If not for


    Millie’s earlier intervention, she would have been gone long before, and Millie herself wouldn’t have


    gotten tangled up with a criminal enterprise.


    “It was time for her to go.”


    Whether it was Nancy’s fake illnesses at the Snow Mountain Vi, or the cliques she’d formed within


    the design department, she had done more harm than good. And that wasn’t even touching on the two


    times her actions had put Millie in real danger.


    Simply ending her contract was leniency in itself.


    As Millie had suspected, it was Marcus’s doing. She kept quiet.


    She was well aware that Nancy’sx attitude towards contractual obligations wouldn’t get her kicked


    out of Thomas Group simply for losing a bet.
