Chapter 39 - Millicent

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-25 16:24:18
“This was the last topic on the agenda of our meeting today. If no one else has anything to add, we can call it a day. Thanks for the hard work, everybody.”

Millicent said it loud enough for everyone at the conference table to hear, but, as always, all she got back were a few mumbles and grunts that were impossible to understand. There was no doubt that she had managed to convince everyone there to respect her word, but on the other hand, there seemed to be more aversion to her than ever.

But now, finally, she felt like she could understand the root of the problem. It was more than just a mere prejudice about her being a Nepo baby. Apparently, Jasmine had been spreading lies about her personality and, now that Millicent was finally using her influence as supervisor of that project, everyone thought they had received proof those rumors about her being a spoiled and heartless tyrant were true.

Knowing the origin of all that disdain didn't make it any less uncomfortable, however. After

    Millicent had learned an interesting thing about herself that day: she functioned much more efficiently when her sole focus was getting back at Austin and making him angry. Who knows, it wouldn't have been better if she had found a way to bring him with her and Isaac to that restaurant.Maybe then she would be able to stand confidently, instead of feeling so… Nervous.“Try to relax, Miss. Bianchi…” Isaac murmured in her ear, as the two followed the waiter to their table “Remember people will think we are on a business date and we have to make it look like a romantic date. And generally, a woman in love doesn’t seem as restless as you.”“I'm trying my best.” she squeaked silently, trying to soften her expression “It’s just… I didn’t expect you to choose a restaurant where almost all the patrons know my family.” Millicent made the mistake of looking around for a quick moment, finding all the other customers' eyes on her.“Of course. If we want the word to spread, then we have to get the

    “Why do you look like you haven’t slept in days?” Cassidy asked, but the only answer Millicent was able to give her was a long yawn. “How many hours did you guys spend on that date today? Two or three? What could have happened to give you dark circles that big?” “Nothing happened. I just… I couldn’t sleep properly.” Millicent couldn't control another yawn.“If nothing happened, then what exactly kept you awake?” her best friend insisted, even though Cassidy was having to divide her attention between herself and all the reports on the computer screen that Mr. Davis had demanded be reviewed later that day.“I think… It was just because nothing happened.” she admitted with a deep sigh “It was all very… Tense, I guess. I don’t know if I know the right word to describe how I feel around him since that… Kiss.” Millicent mumbled as quietly as she could, “I know I should be happy about this, because it will make our fake affair a lot easier and now I can be sure there's nothing wrong with me

    "Ms. Poulin?" Millicent stood up, surprised “It's good to see you, but... I think there may be some mistake in the schedule that may have been passed on to you. The new meeting to discuss the details of the project will only take place in 3 days…”"I know." the old woman snorted, not paying her any attention, while other team members crowded near the door with their expressions full of dread. “But I decided to get ahead of myself and save my time. It's all rubbish. Do it again and, this time, correctly, if you want me to continue with this project.”That disdainful look was powerful enough to make Millicent's blood run cold and, under other circumstances, she would certainly have her head down and totally intimidated by Laura, as well as her colleagues on the outside. It would be much easier to just give in and go through the enormous trouble of doing it all again. It would be Austin's responsibility anyway, since everyone thought he was the sole leader and creator of that project. How

    “Oh, Millie, honey. You look so beautiful!” Thea sighed, even needing to pull out another tissue nearby “It always makes me so happy to see you looking stunning like this. Especially knowing you’re about to have the displeasure of enduring the Carnbys for an entire night…”“Thanks, Thea.” Millicent smiled, running her eyes one last time at the sight of herself in that dark green dress in the reflection of the mirror “You and Mom always manage to make me look so much better than I actually do.”“What have I said about commenting on things like that?” her mother sighed, moving nimbly around to straighten every detail of Millicent’s dress, almost as if she herself wasn’t already cramped into a formal gown “I know you don’t care about looking pretty just because Austin is going to be there. I also think it's bullshit to want to show he lost the most beautiful woman in the world. This is already obvious to everyone, after all. But, I'm glad you finally want to highlight your beauty instead

    The Carnbys' spring formal seemed more crowded than usual. Evan was the type of businessman who never refused to reach out to anyone as long as the other person offered enough money to do so, so obviously he had more “friends”, partners and clients than his family's huge mansion could support. Even so, they seemed to have squeezed in a hundred more people that year, almost to the point of making it difficult for waiters to move among the guests with trays of drinks and appetizers in their hands.And, even with that crowd divided into several different groups and distracted by several different conversations, almost everyone still turned to see Millicent and Isaac entering the room.“I wish they would at least try to hide it…” Millicent muttered to herself, but Isaac didn't even seem to have to make an effort to listen.“We are their evening's entertainment. They're probably relieved to have something to talk about now, instead of having to keep pretending to like each other.” Isaac c

    “What a lovely surprise.” Florence was the first to break the silence between them, plastering her face with a sycophantic smile that Millicent knew very well “When could I have dreamed I would have two of the loveliest young women in High Society grace my ball? Oh, Alessia, darling, it's been so long since we've seen each other. You look stunning, as always.” Austin’s mother approached, running her hand through Alessia’s long and strawberry blond, almost red hair.“Thanks, Florence. It's always great to come here. You throw the best parties.” Alessia laughed “Although, I hear the real action has been happening outside of the galas thanks to your son, right?” “That… It was nothing more than a misunderstanding. It's a shame you heard about that horrible episode from the wrong people, but as soon as I have some free time tonight, I promise I'll tell you what really happened.” Florence forced a smile, clearly eager to end the conversation “Anyway, it's great to have you here, my dear.

    If Jasmine's goal was to make an impressive entrance, she certainly succeeded, because many of the guests several feet away from where they stood had turned their necks to look at her. Perhaps not only because no one expected Austin's mistress to attend an important event like that, but also because she hadn't chosen a dress that was the least bit discreet for the occasion, with a long dark red skirt covered in sparkles and a large ruby ​​necklace on her neck that would not let her go unnoticed in any way. On her face, there was a convinced little smile, as if just by being there in front of Millicent she had already won something.However, that confidence only lasted until the moment when Florence seemed to recover from the shock.“What…” she panted, furious “What is this woman doing here, Austin?!”“Mom, I…” Austin stuttered, his gaze at Jasmine not at all soft or romantic “I… I don't know, but I promise I'll sort it out right now.” he growled, lunging at Jasmine to grab her arm. “I

    “You look quite adorable, you know?” Isaac murmured in her ear as they danced, making the skin on her neck crawl.“Huh?” she asked, trying again to put her thoughts aside and focus solely on dancing.“The way you look whenever you say something to put Austin, that girl, or anyone else in their place. Your cheeks turn pink and you become lost in thought, as if you were in disbelief at yourself for having managed to do this.” he said, with an amused tone and more detail than she expected “Or… Maybe you were really upset to see your ex-fiance and his mistress still together?” His good-natured expression gradually disappeared after each word.“Of course not!” she growled, disgusted by that thought “I may be far from having forgiven him, but all tha

    “You look quite confused.” Isaac chuckled, causing Millicent to blink slowly, looking up from his laptop screen so she could look at him.“Well… I feel confused, to be honest.” She shrugged her shoulders “Why exactly are we looking at a junkyard website?” As if the two needed a moment to absorb that information, their eyes turned to the colorful website that Isaac had placed there. It was quite rudimentary and clearly hadn't been through the hands of a professional programmer. The colors would hurt anyone's eyes, the font was weird and there was terrible visual pollution, especially because there were hundreds of pop-ups showing old cars on the screen, all with photos without any resolution.“It doesn't look very promising, I know. But it will be much more useful to us than all those spreadsheets, I guarantee it.” Isaac scrolled down the site, revealing more and more poorly taken photos of old and pre-owned cars that would probably benefit more from recycling than from being sold in t

    "Leave me alone." Isaac's uncle growled, but Millicent was too worried to be intimidated.“Oh, my God. Here, let me help you.” She used all her strength to pull him up, placing him back on his wobbly legs until she could make him lean on her like a crutch “What are you feeling? Where is Dominic? We should call an ambulance.”“No ambulance shit. This is normal. And Dominic is visiting his girlfriend at her work or something. Now leave me alone.”“Mr. Carnby, you are bleeding! There is no way this is normal!” Millicent gasped “You can’t just stay like that at home. You need to go to a doctor and make sure this isn't a hemorrhage or something. Come on. I’m going to leave you sitting on the couch and wake Isaac up so we can take you to the nearest hospita

    “Gosh, my brain feels like it’s going to melt if I have to look at one more financial graph.” Millicent sighed closing her eyes before collapsing on Isaac’s bed, exhausted “I think we should take a break.”“Austin didn’t even need to put in the way for us to get this data for so long.” Isaac grumbled, laying down by her side and pulling her close “Comparing all these charts would drive anyone crazy before any discrepancies could even be found.”“Well, I guess that’s the reason we have such a large Finance Department. Worrying about every detail of the money coming in and the money going out is not easy.” she tried to joke, but Isaac obviously didn't miss the concern in her voice.“You couldn’t convince that stupid old man to tame his daughter?” he snorted, as if he was just as annoyed by Jasmine's situation as she was.“He spent the entire afternoon avoiding me and when I finally managed to catch up to him at the end of the day, all he did was whine about how his wife might even die if

    “So, I present to you the new junior supervisor of the Finance Department, Jasmine Easton.” As she watched Mr. Davis present Jasmine in front of practically all the employees in that wing of the offices, Millicent had no other reaction than clapping her hands without any enthusiasm. Around her, few people imitated her, as most were just shocked and with their mouths wide open, staring at Mr. Davis as if they were waiting for the moment when he would say it was all just a big joke. However, he just remained there, frozen behind Jasmine, with his haggard and exhausted expression, as if he hadn't slept in days.“Thanks for your words and for trusting me with a role like this, Mr. Davis.” Jasmine smiled the biggest smile Millicent had ever seen her give to anyone “It's always exciting to see how this company values ​​the good work of its employees. I hope that, just as I got my chance today with a lot of effort, everyone else will too, someday.” She ran her disdainful gaze around the enti

    "Shit!" Ugo cursed, turning to Isaac and Vincent with extreme impatience “Did you want time to think about whether you're going to be cowards or not? You just got it. I will let you know when our next meeting will be, where I hope to receive the answer I am waiting for.” he threatened “Just teach your boy that the only safe side of this story is by my side, Vince. You, better than anyone, know this.”“Uh… Boss…” the security guard gulped “We… We also have another situation. It appears that a… Guest arrived earlier than expected. And he wants to talk to you.”"Guest?" Ugo's eyes darted towards Isaac and Vincent, clearly worried about who it could be "Who?"“Open the door, Ugo.” a deep voice sounded from the other side of the armored door, standing out even through the noise of the music blaring downstairs “You said you would welcome me with honors if I returned to America. I'm waiting.”“Nikolaev?!” Ugo grunted, surprised, and Isaac noticed his uncle tense up on his side “Shit. At a ti

    “Are you talking about killing Massimo Bianchi?” Vincent questioned coldly, pretending to lean on Isaac's shoulder so he could straighten up on the couch, a silent warning for him to control his reactions "Do you even know what that would entail?"“I see you’re still pessimistic, Vince.” Ugo laughed, lighting a cigar and taking a long drag. “But, hey, don't be like that. My father and grandfather made big bets while they were alive, too. The world is a question of knowing where exactly to invest your efforts.”“But they both died in the retaliation of those high stakes, right?” Isaac’s uncle raised an eyebrow, managing to perfectly maintain his posture, as if he was actually in Ugo’s game and thinking about the matter “Are you willing to pay the price and want to convince us to be too?”“Do you think I would go into this if it wasn’t a good plan? I'm not a crazy dog ​​like my father and brother were. I have brains and I don't let a detail or a slight offense become a fight between fami

    Jasmine Easton was Fiona's granddaughter.While reading the message that Millicent had just sent, Isaac couldn't say he hadn't already suspected that before. And not just because those two women had similarities in appearance that could go unnoticed due to all the plastic surgery on Fiona’s face. The truth is that there seemed to be a pattern of behavior in everyone who was raised among the Greco, even if not directly. Apparently, there was a tendency for them to become insane or acquire that Machiavellian personality. It wasn't as if they were all intelligent, as Fiona's granddaughter was certainly not an example of genius, but she had clearly inherited her grandmother's greed and abilities to make other people's lives hell.“And are you really going to keep Davis’s secret?” he typed back to her quickly “This would be a good opportunity to prove to everyone that Jasmine has been manipulating this situation from the beginning and not just to keep her own job. Plus, I'm sure your father

    “I already told you that nothing about what your grandmother told you about that day is true!” Mr. Davis sighed, and Millicent didn't even have time to recover from the shock of what she had just heard, when he continued “I never had anything to do with the fact that car rolled over with Sylvia in it. You know very well she was unstable even before you were born. She was the only one who jumped on the wheel and caused that accident…”“And you want me to believe that neither of you were disappointed when you found out that I had managed to be born, even after that?” Jasmine growled and, even though she couldn't see Mr. Davis's face, Millicent knew the answer just by the fury in Jasmine's next words “You fucking bastards! If you didn't want to have a daughter to be responsible for, you shouldn't have gone around fucking around in the first place…”“You know very well that it was just one night! A single night that was completely planned by your grandmother!” the man grunted, as if only
