"Why?" Millie asked."No reason. It's an order."Then, Millie was shut inside the bathroom, feeling bewildered.Her curiosity got the better of her, and she quietly cracked the door open. She could vaguely hear strange noises coming from the bedroom."Mmm...""Ah—"The heavy breathing of a man and the soft moans of a woman.It sounded like... porn!Millie's face turned bright red at the realization.In her panic to close the door, she slipped and tumbled out of the bathroom.Seeing her fall, Pierce quickly approached her. "Didn't I tell you to stay put? If you were one of my soldiers, I'd have you running laps as punishment."Put these on and stop listening to those filthy sounds." Pierce scolded her and then placed the earplugs in her ears, shutting the door once more.Millie guessed that Bill was likely eavesdropping outside the bedroom, trying to determine if they were truly behaving like a married couple.After half an hour, the noises ceased. Millie hurriedly finished

Millie choked on her toast upon hearing Bill's query.Pierce shot Bill a glare and patted Millie's back, handing her a glass of milk."Grandpa, these things can't be rushed. Millie and I want to enjoy our time alone first.""But you're not getting any younger.""Millie is still young, so there's no hurry. We will have children, just not right now," Pierce replied with such conviction that Millie was taken aback for a moment.Nevertheless, she quickly reminded herself that it was just a lie to placate Bill.Though somewhat dissatisfied, Bill didn't press the issue further.After breakfast, Pierce headed to the company, and Millie stayed home with Bill."It's time to reorganize some of the old stuff. Millie, come give me a hand."At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there was a locked door.Bill unlocked it, revealing a room filled with items covered in dust. He instructed the housekeepers to clean up and then opened a drawer, pulling out a thick photo album.His ha

"Are you two looking for a job? Come check out our studio. We have a relaxing work environment with an honest team. We offer a base salary plus commissions, not to mention meal subsidies."Have you heard of Aurora, the award-winning fashion designer? She's a close friend of mine. I'm inviting her over to lead our team. We'll become the top fashion brand in the country before long!""Haha!"A sudden, harsh laugh echoed from behind, causing Millie to frown as she turned around.Wanda was standing not far away."Millie, have you stooped so low as to deceive fresh graduates now? A close friend of Aurora's? As far as I know, you haven't had any useful connections in the past three years!""Wanda, can you stay out of my business?""This is my business card. I'm the CEO of Flair Fashion. You two can come and work at my company as design assistants.""Wow, it's the company everyone has been talking about! I heard it's a fashion brand under Leach Group, aiming to become the top fashion

Stefan had thoroughly investigated Millie's recent activities and found no sign of a new boyfriend.Although puzzled, he was more inclined to believe that Millie was deceiving him. They had never been involved sexually, yet she had made misleading comments to others about them.Additionally, she had framed Wanda, nearly driving her to despair. At some point, Millie had become a habitual liar. Perhaps it was time she faced some consequences."I just got a call from the company. I need to attend to something. Stay here and make some friends. I'll come pick you up later.""Okay, drive safe."Stefan left promptly.On the other hand, Millie hailed a taxi to send Celia home first and then waited for another one.To her surprise, a familiar Bentley pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Stefan's striking profile."Millie…" he called her name with a mix of emotions.Millie cast him an indifferent glance. "Is there something you need, Mr. Leach?""I advise you no

"Pierce?""I'm ready," Pierce replied, closing his eyes.Tobias didn't hesitate and made the incision. The sound of the blade slicing through flesh was faint but vividly clear to Millie, making her skin crawl."Is there something I can do to distract you? Would it help lessen the pain?" Millie stammered nervously.While enduring the pain, Pierce looked up when he heard her."You really want to help me?"His forehead was covered in sweat, and his lips were pale. It was a pitiful sight."Can I?""Sure. Come here." Pierce gestured for her to come closer.Millie stepped forward immediately, willing to do anything to alleviate his pain.Without warning, Pierce grabbed the back of her head, pulling her in and pressing his lips against hers.Millie's eyes widened in disbelief. How was kissing her supposed to distract him from the pain?She wanted to pull away, but she didn't dare to budge, fearing that any sudden movement might cause Tobias' hands to slip with the knife.Pierce

Millie tried to avoid pressing on Pierce's wound and stayed as close to the edge of the bed as possible. Somehow, Pierce also moved toward the other edge, leaving a large gap between them.A stifling, ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.Millie's breathing grew rapid, and despite the passage of time, she remained wide awake.She had never shared a bed with a man before. While she was with Stefan for three years, they had never done anything intimate.Suddenly, Millie noticed Pierce's breathing was labored and irregular."Pierce, are you okay?"She poked him, only to find his skin burning hot.Quickly, Millie switched on the light to check his condition. Pierce's face was flushed with an unnatural redness, and his forehead was covered in sweat.He was having a fever.His brows were kitted in pain, and he was muttering incoherently."Sammy..."He seemed to be calling out someone's name.Millie couldn't care less at the moment. She hurriedly called Tobias to inform him of the

"Yes... I didn't dare call anyone else in case it would alarm Grandpa.""You did well," Pierce reassured her."You must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat."When Millie hurried downstairs, she bumped into Bill."Millie, what's wrong? Had trouble sleeping?""Yeah…""Where's Pierce? He never sleeps in. What's going on?""He's a bit tired and wants to rest a little longer.""Tired? That's unusual. Did something happen? I'll go check on him," Bill said worriedly, starting toward the stairs. But Millie quickly grabbed his arm to stop him."Grandpa... Last night... Um, we were up quite late. That's why..."She couldn't finish the sentence, her face turning bright red.Bill paused, then understanding dawned on him, and he burst into hearty laughter."Let him rest then. You should rest too. Don't overwork yourself.""Okay... I'll rest after I get something to eat.""Go on, have something nourishing," Bill grinned happily as he urged her.After Pierce had a meal, his com

Millie felt like crying.Later, Pierce returned in the evening to find Bill had already prepared dinner. He glanced disapprovingly at the dishes, then at Millie, who dared not meet his gaze.The dishes were all reputed for their nourishing effects in improving sexual drive."Have some more," urged Bill, piling food onto Pierce's plate without any reservation, as if signaling to everyone in the house that the latter was having trouble in that department.Millie wanted to vanish from the surface of the earth."Alright, I'll eat.""Um, Grandpa, I'm done eating. I'll go upstairs first." Millie excused herself."Go ahead.""By the way, how long can you actually last? I know a couple of medicines…"Millie almost tripped on the stairs upon hearing Bill's words.After finishing his meal, Pierce headed upstairs with an incredibly sullen face.Millie wished she could pretend to be asleep, but she had to change his bandages.Given Pierce's status, hospitalization was inconvenient and

After that, Millie went upstairs to look for Pierce and told him the story of her firing Carlos and Yulia."Okay," Pierce nonchalantly said. He didn't even look up once, and his tone sounded very calm as well."I've been laying off employees without your consent. Don't you have anything to say about that?"Pierce laughed after hearing what Millie said. "You're my wife, so you also have a say in Atkinson Group. You're just exercising your authority, so why would I say anything about it? I know you're not a reckless person. If you fired them, you must have had your own reasonings." Pierce didn't even question why Millie had fired two employees or the reason behind their layoffs.What's done was already done. He couldn't care less about the two employees who got fired."Does this mean that I can do whatever I want as long as I'm here?" Millie asked."Of course! Whatever I own is also yours. I'll even let you sit on my lap if you want." Pierce sounded exactly like a king back in th

While some people chose to stay away from Yulia to avoid getting into trouble, there were still a few who sided with her. Then again, these people were just going to use her as a stepping stone to climb the corporate ladder with less effort."You're firing me? What did I even do wrong?" Yulia confronted the HR Department."The case that you messed up here has cost Atkinson Group millions of dollars. This big of a screw-up is enough to get you fired."Even if Yulia filed for labor arbitration, she would not receive any compensation. But of course, she couldn't be bothered by that small amount of money anyway. As long as she managed to keep her job in Atkinson Group, she would still be working under Pierce's leadership and was bound to see him again eventually. Unfortunately, she was about to leave the company for good. Now how was she supposed to see Pierce again?"I have to go find Mr. Reyes," she said.However, when she came to Carlos' office, he seemed to be in a gloomy

Millie had the distinct feeling that Yulia and her colleague were talking about her, but she had no proof. All she could see were their furtive glances.She became annoyed by their persistent glances and said, "If you two have something to say, why don't you say it out loud? Are you gossiping about me?""Of course not! I have no idea why you'd say that, Mrs. Atkinson," Yulia replied with a smile."You better not be lying."Yulia and her colleague left the elevator when they reached their floor, leaving Millie standing there with a frown.Millie just couldn't bring herself to like Yulia. It led to her pondering whether she should just fire Yulia. That way, she wouldn't have to see her every time she visited Atkinson Group.The strange thing was that Millie had never seen Yulia before when she was still working here. But now, she ran into Yulia almost every single time she came to Atkinson Group.In the end, Millie made up her mind to just fire Yulia.Instead of heading to the CE

When Yulia tried returning the cleaned clothes, she ran into Tobias downstairs. "Mr. Shaw," she greeted."Who are you?" Tobias didn't even remember Yulia."We met before at the CEO's office.""Oh, I remember you now. Is there something you need?" Tobias curiously looked at Yulia.Yulia showed him the bag in her hand. "Is Mrs. Atkinson coming in today? I accidentally stained her clothes last time, so she told me to have them dry cleaned. They're cleaned now, so I wanted to return them to her. "If she's not here, I can hand them over to Mr. Atkinson instead.""Give the clothes to me then. I'll handle it." Tobias extended his hand.However, Yulia shook her head. "These clothes are very expensive. It's better for me to return them in person. It's going to be troublesome in case something goes missing."Women's clothing tended to have accessories, and some were not cheap either.Tobias was not Millie, so naturally, he didn't know what the clothes originally looked like. If somet

Millie couldn't help but share with Pierce who she'd met earlier on."Who?" Pierce asked."Do you still remember the young lady who tried to hit on you while we were waiting in line to buy cake last time? She's currently working at Atkinson Group—as a permanent employee, no less! She's probably been working here for a while."Since interns had a three-month probation period, Yulia must have worked for the company for quite some time now if she was already a permanent employee. "Really?" Pierce didn't know this, but neither did he care about it. He simply continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you too. I met her not long ago—she was being forced to work at a nightclub. Apparently, her family was declared bankrupt, and loan sharks were looking for her to collect debt."When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of you. If I had not been sent on a mission and stayed at Arbelton back then, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. And in turn, maybe you wouldn't hav

"Are you all done with your work? Why are you slacking off during working hours? "Yulia, your proposal is terrible. Fix it!" It was Isabella. She just could not stand the arrogant look on Yulia's face.Yulia pouted, but she didn't dare get on Isabella's nerves. After all, she was the top performer in the sales department.When she got the chance to see Pierce, she was definitely going to talk about how Isabella was bullying her.When Isabella walked away, someone immediately took the proposal from Yulia. "I've done something similar before. Let me do it. It won't take me too much effort anyway.""Thank you so much.""Yulia, I bought an extra cup of coffee. Here you go.""Thanks, Wady."So, Yulia sat leisurely at her workstation. The only eyesore was that paper bag. If only it was really Pierce who'd sent it.…Besides getting her clothes dirtied, Millie's body was also sticky, so she decided to take a shower.Once she was done, she got out of the shower wrapped in just a

Yulia had been waiting for Pierce to reach out to her first, but there was still not a single sign from him even after waiting for a few days.She had not expected Pierce to have so much patience. Was he playing hard to get?Every day, Yulia waited for Pierce in the lobby on the first floor, wanting to see him one more time. Because of that, she came in late for work, but no one said anything about it.However, what was disappointing was that she never succeeded in meeting Pierce—not even once. Little did she know that Pierce's car was parked in a designated location and he took the elevator, so he never passed through the first floor at all.Instead of running into Pierce, Yulia ran into Millie.When she saw Millie coming, she instinctively tried to put her best foot forward. She intentionally walked toward her and then pretended to bump into her, spilling the coffee she was holding onto Millie."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that," she apologized.Millie glance

Isabella returned to her office and grew angry at the sight of Yulia trying to win everyone over outside. Despite still having feelings for Pierce even after his marriage, Isabella wouldn't commit immoral acts and refused to become a mistress.Never in her wildest dreams had she expected Pierce to be such a disgraceful person—a man who fooled around despite being married. He was nothing but a piece of trash, and she couldn't believe that she had liked him for nothing. Very quickly, she found the mutual group chat that she shared with Millie, where she had saved her contact under the nickname "109"."109, did you know that Mr. Atkinson is cheating on you?" Isabella typed out the message, but it felt wrong. So, she calmed herself and reassessed the situation. To her knowledge, Pierce had always been a righteous man. He was unlikely to make such a mistake. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.If there was nothing going on, her words would become a depth charge, set

As Yulia said those words, she secretly looked forward to Pierce's response. After all, she would be thrilled to be involved with a man like Pierce.She had had her eyes on Pierce back then, and now that he'd saved her life, she saw him through rose-tinted glasses. Now, she was deeply and helplessly in love with him."It's fine. Think of it as charity," Pierce calmly said. Then he said, "Tobias, let's go straight to the conference room. Get ready to start the meeting." With that, he walked straight ahead without sparing Yulia a single glance. Yulia watched as Pierce left, her eyes filled with admiration.As she exited the Atkinson Group office and looked at the towering skyscraper, her excitement was beyond words. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to cross paths with the renowned Pierce Atkinson in this lifetime. It was just that he was too cold toward her, which made it impossible for her to get close to him. On top of that, he was married, and from wha
