Chapter 1115

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.

“Isn’t it more romantic here?”

Millie’s cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red, dismissing his words as foolish.

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.

“What did you even do?”

“I pushed the swing.”

In her mind, Millie couldn’t help but think he really knew how to drive a hard bargain. Finding herself

without a counterargument, she reluctantly agreed.

An hour later, Millie lay beside Marcus, completely spent, her eyes struggling to stay open. She

whispered, “Honey, I’m so tired.”

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

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

At D.S. Jewelry Company.

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.
