I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 59
Millie felt something wet on her lips as if something was nibbling on her.She felt like someone was savoring and relishing her lips, treating her lips like their favorite toy. The person couldn't bear to bite in case it hurt her, but they couldn't bring themselves to let go, either."Mm…"Millie couldn't help but mumble a little.Then, the sensation disappeared completely. Millie wondered if she was just dreaming. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a ton. She couldn't open her eyes at all.The night crawled on.When Millie woke up, Pierce was nowhere to be found in the office.After Millie washed up, she went out only to see a woman in secretary attire."You're awake. I'll get you breakfast."Soon, breakfast was served."Where's Pierce?""Mr. Atkinson is in a meeting, and it'll end at around 11:00 am. He said that you could do as you please. You're free to stay for lunch or leave right away.""Tell him that I'm going to work in the studio, then."

Millie replied, "It was a thousand dollars just now, wasn't it?""That's in the past now. It has nothing to do with the present! Are you interested or not?"Millie stared intently at the censored photo. Gritting her teeth, she replied, "Fine, five thousand dollars it is. You'd better guarantee that it's worth the money."Isabella didn't reply, so Millie immediately sensed that something was off. This might very well be fake advertising.Still, thanks to her curiosity, Millie gave Isabella the five thousand dollars. Soon, she received the uncensored version.Sure enough, it was fake advertising!Pierce's strong upper body was exposed to the air. Drops of sweat were rolling down his muscles, and his Adam's apple was well-defined.However, he was wearing pants that covered the lower half of his body!The photo seemed to be taken without Pierce's knowledge. Pierce usually had an unapproachable air to him, but in these photos, he was exposing either his abs or his shoulders, so he l

As if Millie had thrown two bombs into the ocean, the originally quiet group was instantly in an uproar."Damn, that's really high definition! Where did you get these from?""Is this a secret shot? Why do I feel like this was taken up close? 109, who exactly are you?""Do you have more? I can't get enough of them!"To avoid suspicion, Millie came up with a random excuse."I got it from someone at a high price, but I don't know who they are, either. If you want more, you can buy them from me."Someone immediately sent Millie a private message.Millie was quite smart. She told the group members that they should label it as a gift instead of a purchase when setting up the transaction. If not, it would be an illegal business.However, she was also infringing on Pierce's right of publicity. Still, Millie felt that Pierce probably wouldn't sue her.Isabella couldn't hold it in anymore."I need those photos! A thousand dollars, right?""Sorry, I'm charging you ten thousand dollars
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 62
Millie's mind went blank. Soon, she came to her senses and said, "Can you please keep it a secret for him? He doesn't know about this. Can I have my parents pick me up instead?""Sorry, but I've already called him. He's on his way now, and he'll be here at any minute."Millie could hide her marriage with Pierce from the public, but she couldn't hide it from the police department's social network database. The name of her partner was displayed as clear as day: Pierce Atkinson.When Millie heard that, she wished she could just disappear."Where's Millie?"Just then, Millie heard a familiar voice outside. The voice was low, and its owner sounded like he was suppressing his fury."Over here, Pierce."The police officer shouted.Millie froze. Did they know each other?Pierce entered the room with a foul look on his face. His dark gaze fell upon Millie."Pierce, look at these photos of you! They're quite good."The police officer smiled as he waved the photos in front of Pierce. M

Millie had no idea if Pierce was just trying to spook her or something else.But when she remembered his previous line of work, she didn't dare bet on it. What if he really was that heartless?"This is my first offense, and I've earnestly admitted to my mistakes, so can you please give me another chance?""How exactly are you owning up to your mistakes?""I'll… give you the money. I earned a total of 60 thousand dollars in profit.""And?""I'll write a reflection essay, and I promise to never do it again.""And?""And…" Millie was at a loss. What else could she do to compensate? "Any hints?""You won't have your allowance for this month. Also, you won't be paid for the clothes you're designing for me and my sister."She could give away the clothes for free, but wouldn't it be going too far to take away her allowance?"Can you please… let me have my allowance at least?""Then I'll talk to the legal department at Atkinson Group. They'll send you to jail."The legal departmen

Millie didn't know the answer, nor did she dare to reply."Clear your mind and look straight ahead."Millie took a deep breath and calmed down. She began getting used to the recoil.This time, she didn't miss the target. She managed to hit the edge of it.Her palms were covered in sweat, and she could barely hold the gun."Are you so nervous just because I'm here?"Pierce's half-amused voice rang out. Millie wasn't even sure if he was getting this close to her on purpose. His thin lips were almost pressed against her skin, and his hot and humid breaths kept entering her ear."N-No.""Then why are your ears so red?"As soon as Pierce finished speaking, Millie took in a sharp breath. Pierce had actually bitten her, and it hurt a little.But he soon let go of her. He moved his tongue around as if to caress the spot where it hurt.He did all this in quick succession. Beside them, Jason was still celebrating the fact that he managed to hit the 9-ring, so he didn't notice what was
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 65
Still, Pierce's gaze was so passionate that Millie couldn't quite withstand it."Is… Is that so?""My sister got kidnapped before.""I see."Millie was secretly annoyed. What was she so nervous about?Of course, the people Pierce loved would be his family!"Wow, Thomas, you're amazing! You hit the 10-ring!"Just then, the group of men shouted in excitement. Millie was intrigued, so she hastily went over for a look as well."Wow…"Millie looked at Thomas in admiration. "I'll come over often to practice, so please help me out, okay?"Just then, a gunshot sounded at the target beside theirs."Pierce is firing a gun again? Didn't he say that he wouldn't fire any guns after he resigned?"Jason's face was filled with surprise as he hastily went to take a look."Pierce, you're still going strong! You just keep hitting the 10-ring!""You're amazing too."Millie hastily praised Pierce.Jason didn't know what was going on, but Thomas and the other friend were well aware of Pierce
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 66
Pierce was stunned.He thought that Millie felt ill because Jason's stories were too cruel and gory.To his surprise, Millie was upset about something else entirely.She was mad that Pierce didn't care about his own safety."You've saved my life as well, and you've also helped me out on many occasions after that. It's only normal that I would be worried about you, right?"I'm glad that you've already resigned. If you're still in this line of work, I won't get married to you at all. I'm not a heartless person. Even if we aren't a real married couple, I'll still be worried about you."You should value yourself more, and learn to love yourself before you learn to love others! You shouldn't just ignore your own life. You have to ensure your safety before going out there to save other people.""Alright," Pierce said earnestly. He seemed to be actually listening to her."I… I also feel that you can only apprehend more criminals if you stay alive. You agree with me, don't you?""Yeah

"No! Mr. Atkinson, you can't do this! I did it for you!" Carlos cried."I don't know Yulia personally, nor did I secretly ask you to take care of her. No wonder she kept misinterpreting my intentions and tried to get close to me. You were part of the reason that she's delusional," Pierce said with a scoff.Yulia must have assumed that all the special treatment Carlos had given her was Pierce's doing. Naturally, she would have started to fantasize.Pierce also reflected on himself. He never should have sympathized with her or helped her in the first place. When he saw her, he had been reminded of Millie from years ago and had wanted to make up for his inability to help her back then in some small way. Never did he expect that it would cause so much trouble for him.Whatever compensation John decided to ask from Yulia was none of his business too.After that, Pierce sent Carlos away and began addressing the false rumors spreading online."Well, well. You seem to have a lot of rom
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 589
Yulia believed that Pierce must have felt the same way. Since fate had brought them together, how could she possibly give up?Now that Pierce had paid for her hospital stay, she felt she should recover properly and not waste his kindness.…Meanwhile, back at Atkinson Group, Tobias never mentioned the matter to Pierce. The situation had been urgent when Yulia was hospitalized, and anyone would have covered the cost in such circumstances. After all, a life was at stake.Tobias reported, "Mr. Atkinson, the former Head of Sales, Carlos Reyes, keeps asking to see you. The receptionist has alerted me about this multiple times. He said he needs to see you for something important. Do you want to meet him?""Is he the one Mills fired?" Pierce coolly looked up."Yes," Tobias replied."Useless trash like him isn't worth my time," Pierce indifferently responded. After all, anyone who crossed Millie had also crossed him.So, Tobias immediately informed Carlos that if he ever came again, he

Yulia kept waiting for an opportunity, but the two times she saw Pierce, he was with Millie. The sight of this drove her mad with jealousy. How she wished she could tear Millie apart. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be struggling just to get into Atkinson Group now.And so, Yulia obsessively staked out the parking lot every day like a madwoman. As a result, she had grown noticeably thinner. Sometimes, she saw Tobias. However, she didn't approach him. But finally, after nearly a week, she found her chance.Pierce had arrived alone with no one in the passenger seat. Just as he got out of the car, a shadow flitted into his peripheral view. As a former police officer, his reflexes were sharp. He immediately subdued the person with a grappling move."Ow… Ouch! It hurts…" Yulia pitifully whimpered.Pierce hadn't seen Yulia's face yet. He only realized that it was a woman and that she posed no real threat. So, he released his grip.However, upon realizing that it was Yulia, he

"Thank you for stopping me from acting recklessly, Mr. Atkinson," John said, wincing from the pain."You need medical attention," Pierce reminded him. He didn't even spare Yulia a glance while she was lying unconscious on the ground.Soon, Yulia regained consciousness in the hospital. Only her mother, Helena, was by her bedside. She looked around but didn't see her beloved Pierce."Pierce… Is he away to get my medicine?" Yulia weakly asked, struggling to sit up.Helena wept and said, "That man you keep talking about never showed up—not even once.""Impossible!" Yulia gasped in disbelief, her eyes widening. She had been in such a dire state. How could he not come to visit her?Helena went on, "Not only that, but the club is holding you accountable, and Mr. Presta is also demanding compensation. We've received two court notices. The lawyer told me that we need to pay five million dollars in total!""Five million dollars is nothing. If I ask Pierce, he'll definitely give it to
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 586
As soon as Yulia walked in, her eyes were wet with tears. She looked pitifully at Pierce, acting as if the nightclub had forced her into selling her body and that she had suffered countless injustices.She walked straight toward Pierce. "Mr. Atkinson, I never expected us to meet again in a place like this."Pierce frowned because he wasn't exactly familiar with her.While the other hostesses were enthusiastically entertaining other men by pouring drinks and joking around, Yulia was the only one wearing a mournful expression. Clearly, she was dampening the mood."Mr. Atkinson, do you have any idea how miserable my life has been since Mrs. Atkinson kicked me out of Atkinson Group? My father went back to gambling, and those people even took my mother away. If I didn't return to this line of work, I wouldn't have any way to survive."They were originally willing to give me a one-month grace period because I had a stable salary at Atkinson Group. But now… Mrs. Atkinson has ruined me!"

"Ms. Shaw, if you don't leave now, someone will have to escort you out," Tobias said.So, Yulia slunk downstairs in embarrassment. She even got to see Tobias harshly reprimanding the receptionist."Are you out of your mind? How dare you bring just anyone to the CEO's office? You're fired!" Tobias sternly said.The receptionist argued, "But, Mr. Shaw, this isn't my fault. She's someone Mr. Atkinson seems take special care of—""That was nothing more than a few minor favors. You failed to do your job properly, so don't make excuses. Pack your things and leave," Tobias stated indifferently.The receptionist felt deeply wronged, and her gaze toward Yulia turned resentful.Yulia didn't understand where things had gone wrong. Pierce had seemed to be so concerned about her previously, so why was he being so cold to her now? Had Millie discovered something? Was that why he wanted to cut ties with her completely?Feeling lost and dejected, Yulia left the company, only to run into Carlo
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 584
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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 582
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
