Chapter: 353

Millie’s face was ashen, her fear still palpable.

Reflecting on his rescue of the maid who had cooked him noodles, Harlan smiled, finding new value in that simple meal.

“Are you alright?” Harlan’s concern was evident.

“I'm not injured; thank you for rescuing me,”

Millie replied, surprised that someone she thought dangerous had saved her.

“You're welcome. Consider it a thank you for last night’s noodles,” Harlan said jokingly with a smile. “I haven’t had such tasty

noodles in years.”

Hmm? Millie was taken aback.

“Let's get out of here,” he suggested.

The eerie alley was uncomfortable for Millie. Today had been perilous, and she knew she must remain cautious.

They headed for the alley’s entrance.

Hidden nearby, two robust bodyguards emerged from the shadows, exchanged glances, and began to report to Marcus on their

phones.

They had been about to intervene when Harlan arrived.

“Can you tell me your name? | don’t even know it,” Millie said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“You can call me Harlan,” he replied, smiling as he glanced at Millie’s youthful form.

“Well, thank you, Harlan. If you ever need anything, just let me know. Ill do my best,” Millie responded earnestly.

“You're an intriguing maid,” Harlan mused, slowing his pace. “Why are you out so late? A maid's life seems quite leisurely now.”

Harlan remembered seeing her cleaning late the previous night and wondered why she was out here this late.

And why would someone pay to kidnap a mere maid?

“T have the day off today. | went out for some fun,” she explained.

Harlan seemed to still view Millie as a maid of the Thomas family, and Millie didn’t correct him.

“I need to head back now.”

“Hold on a second. I’m going to buy something for you.”
