That night, Millie found pure joy on the swing, her laughter ringing in the air.

When they returned to their room, Marcus quickly guided her to the bathroom, indicating it was time for a bath.

Once in the bathroom, Millie’s eyelids felt heavy, and she struggled to keep them open. Marcus tenderly held the showerhead with one hand, applying body wash with the other. Millie’s eyes fluttered open for a moment, catching sight of Marcus’ fit physique. A blush rose to her cheeks.

How had they ended up in the bath together?

Especially in a place as sacred as this.

After their shower, they retreated to bed. Marcus’ longing for Millie had grown, and he found himself unable to resist any longer. As he drew closer, Millie’s heart raced, and she placed her hands on his shoulders, whispering, “No, not here.”

Marcus’ smile was gentle.

Marcus’ voice was soft and magnetic as he smoothed her hair.

“I’ve done my part; surely there must be something in return.”

Millie’s eyes widened in surprise.

Marcus’ response was light and teasing, a gentle pat conveying his affection.

“You just relaxed and enjoyed yourself. How can you be tired?”

The moment Ryan disembarked from the plane, he was informed of Humphrey’s press conference. Upon arriving at the company, he immediately confronted Humphrey, his voice raised in anger.

“Who gave you permission to hold a press conference and release that piece of work?”

Humphrey, although guilty, was not without his reasons.

“Why shouldn’t we release a piece of work if we have it?

Particularly when it’s such an exceptional piece that can bring substantial benefits to the company,” Humphrey argued, his tone firm.
