While Millie remained unaware of her true identity, Shera secretly nted a bomb within her.


    On the night of her unsessful attempt to reconcile with Marcus, Shera swiftly suggested returning to


    the Thomas Group.


    If she had raised this proposal after repeatedly involving herself with Marcus, he would have seen


    through her intentions and likely rejected the idea.


    As Millie listened to the exnation, she cast her eyes downward, her gaze distant.


    “Are you upset? Tell me, what can I do to make amends? I’ll do it without hesitation.”


    In this moment, Marcus lost his appetite, clutching Millie’s hand.


    Millie let out a sigh.

    “Let’s put this matter to rest for now. Continue with your meal.


    It’s almost time for you to depart for Peach Town. Certain events are simply preordained and beyond


    our control.”


    Shera’s close bond with Celeste was potent enough that, even if Marcus were to disapprove of Shera’s


    return to thepany, Celeste would likely find alternative means to ensure her entry.

    Nevertheless, Millie had learned a valuable lesson from her past experiences: when confronted with


    difficulties and troubles, if there was no escape, the only recourse was to face them head-on.


    Nevertheless, she still yearned toprehend the motive behind Marcus’s decision to admit Shera to


    the Thomas Group. His exnation was, to some extent,prehensible to her.


    Someone who had been in a past car ident with you approached you for a job. Refusing their


    request would be heartless.


    “Are you no longer angry?” Marcus sought reassurance.


    Millie shrugged and replied, “I understand.”


    Marcus gradually felt a weight lift from his shoulders and realized that, in the future, he should inform


    Millie first if simr situations arose, regardless of her location.


    Millie stayed by his side as they finished their lunch. Afterward, Marcus prepared to leave. Upon


    returning to the design department and taking her seat, Dottie promptly addressed her.


    “Just a moment ago, the front desk downstairs called our department, mentioning that an envelope had


    arrived for you. Did you collect it?”


    Millie was perplexed. She had no knowledge of any such envelope.


    “I’ll retrieve it right away,” she replied, turning to head downstairs.


    At the entrance of the building, Marcus and his group were still making their preparations to depart.


    Marcus was engaged in a phone call while his well-dressedpanions stood nearby.


    Among them, Millie noticed Shera standing beside the head of the charity department. Shera, too,


    spotted Millie and shed a smug smile.


    Furrowing her brow, Millie wondered if Shera was apanying them as well.


    While the charity department was undoubtedly vital for such projects, she hadn’t expected Shera to be


    among the chosen personnel.
