456
Millie thought sheâd be more fearful of the ocean, but it turned out to be not a big deal at all. However, swimming in the ocean would be a different matter altogether.
She looked down at the bottomless ocean and gulped. She would probably fear the thought of swimming in the ocean. If she had fallen into the water, she might still suffer a breakdown and freeze, just like the other day.
The frightening imagery made her look away from the ocean.
Suddenly, she received a text notification on her phone. Rachel had sent her a WhatsApp message. Sorry, I canât make it to the cruise party with you! Itâs a pity. Have fun, Mills!â
Millie smiled. Soon, Rachel texted again. âI heard Winston and Joanna are there too. Donât play nice if they humiliate you. Just fight back, especially with that bitch Joanna!
âDonât waste your time talking to herâjust teach her a lesson with a slap. I canât believe that the homewrecker is playing the victim!â
Rachel added, âMills, donât keep everything to yourself. Instead, you should make them fear you. Your public image doesnât matter as long as youâre happy! No matter what you do, Iâll show my support from my official account. Just do it!â
Millie chuckled at Rachelâs message. Folding an arm across her chest, she scrolled through their chat history with her free hand. Rachel made it sound like she was there for a battle.
After collecting herself, she wrote back, âGot it. Iâll have fun. Work hard!â
Rachel: âBe careful. Waiting for you to be back.â
Millie: âBuy me a bag when I get home.â
Rachel: âSure. Iâll buy you everything you want.â
A smile played on Millieâs lips. âAlright. Bye.â
She put away her phone with a deepening smile. Rachel was the definition of a true friend, unlike Joanna.
Millie stared into the band in the distance and enjoyed the music. At the same time, she overheard some ruffling sounds nearby.
âStop it! There are so many people aroundâ¦â
âGosh, why canât you wait? There are so many people around us. LetâsâMmph!â
The womanâs protests were met with a manâs muffled reply, âItâs more exciting this way.â
Millie stared at her phone in silence. Did she just run into a couple having a tryst within an hour of boarding the cruise? These guests were certainly wild.
A gust of ocean breeze lifted strands of her hair. Not far away, a man took a photo of her before approaching. The sixâfootâtall gentleman held a camera and said, âHello there.â
Millie swept her gaze across his face. He was trying to flirt with her, but she was in no mood. So, she replied with a smile, âHi there. Iâm heading in to rest because Iâm feeling unwell. See you around.â

*Are you feeling unwell? I happen to learn some medical skills. Shall I give you a massage?â The stranger hung his camera on his neck and inched closer to Millie.
She took a step backward.
The man spoke in a seductive tone, âSince weâre on the cruise, why donât you let go of yourself?â
Although Millie had braced herself for the situation onboard, she couldnât stomach the blatant requests for oneânight stands.
She was about to take another step back when someone held her shoulder.
Winstonâs icy voice filled the air. âIâm sorry, but sheâs my plusâone.â
She recognized his familiar voice and turned toward him with a frown.
