Chapter 1316

With that exchange, Millie clutched her documents tightly and swiftly headed for the elevator.

Upon reaching the design department, Millie set her belongings down and prepared to slip into the

restroom to use the pregnancy test stick. It was at that moment that she realized it was missing.

“What? Did I misplace it?” Millie wondered aloud.

Noticing Millie’s frantic search, Dottie inquired, “Need some assistance?”

Millie shook her head, stating, “No, I must have lost it on the way.”

Dottie observed that when Millie had entered the room, her countenance held an air of happiness, as if

she harbored a secret.

Now, her distress over the missing item had turned her mood somber.

It seemed she’d lost something of great importance.

Curiously, Dottie couldn’t resist leaning in and asking, “What did you misplace?”

Millie patted her head, playfully chiding, “It’s a secret. Get back to your design work.”

“A secret, huh? Alright, I’ll focus on the design draft. You’re the boss,” Dottie replied, sticking her

tongue out and grinning.

“Zip it!” Millie said, smiling, as she retrieved a stack of design drafts.

Dottie’s admiration for Millie continued to grow. She was not only wife of the head of the Thomas Group

but also a master of jewelry design, yet she remained remarkably down-to-earth. Where else could one

find such a perfect woman?

As Millie turned to another page and sighed, she couldn’t help but wonder where she’d misplaced the

pregnancy test stick.

She decided to purchase a replacement after work.

Her menstrual cycle had been delayed for the past few days, Leading her to speculate about a possible

pregnancy.

Down in the lobby, Shera clutched a white pregnancy test stick tightly, her mind racing with thoughts.

Was Millie pregnant?

This notion left Shera feeling unsettled. If Millie were to have a child, it would complicate matters.

Celeste, who eagerly desired a grandson, might reconsider her stance toward Millie. Importantly, once

Marcus and Millie had a child, their relationship would likely become more stable and secure.

She needed to accelerate her plans. The situation was pressing.

At noon, Shera left the company and scheduled a meeting with Ryan.

In the discreet tea room, Shera handed the pregnancy test stick to Ryan.

Ryan examined it with a raised eyebrow, asking, “What’s this?”

“It belonged to Millie. Chances are, she’s pregnant,” Shera divulged.
