Chapter 454

After a shower, medication, and changing into clean clothes, she felt revitalized. She found Marcus on the balcony, gazing down

at the scene below.

Millie slowly approached and looked down out of curiosity.

On the square, she found the Thomas Group’s employees engaged in a spirited snowball fight. Even Derek was in on the action.

Millie was taken by surprise. These professionals, typically so composed, looked like a bunch of joyful children playing in the

snow.

The pressure of working at the Thomas Group must be immense.

Marcus noticed her interest in the ongoing merriment downstairs. He smirked and said, “Are you interested in joining them?”

Millie nodded. Having slept for what felt like ages, she was eager for some fresh air.

She returned to her room, then accompanied Marcus downstairs in a light yellow down jacket.

The second they showed up, Derek lobbed a snowball at Marcus, exclaiming, “Mr. Thomas, catch this!”

The snowball struck Marcus’ shoulder, breaking apart against his elegant windbreaker.

For a moment, Marcus seemed taken aback. Derek’s boldness that day was unexpected, and the others, sensing their boss’s

mood, stopped in apprehension.

Millie watched, equally stunned. Judging by Marcus’ stern expression, she feared his anger might dampen the joyful atmosphere.

However, they had all misread him. Marcus wasn’t angry at all. With a playful glint in his eye, he picked up the head of a nearby

snowman and hurled it at Derek.

“Derek, catch this!” Marcus called out, throwing a snowball.

Laughter filled the air as Marcus’ throw found its mark, and the lively snowball battle picked up once again.

Millie, amused and intrigued, found a spot at the sidelines to observe.

“Mr. Thomas, brace yourself!” one employee teased.

“Mr. Thomas, over here!” another joined in.

“Derek, try to dodge this snowball!” another shouted with a grin.

Asudden and unexpected collaboration unfolded among the senior executives of the Thomas Group, all aiming at Marcus and

Derek.

Millie’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. The playful combat unfolding before her seemed to reveal underlying tensions from their

work life. The group was now united, launching a jovial assault on Marcus and Derek.

However, despite being outnumbered in a battle of ten to two, Marcus and Derek displayed a winning combination of agility and

precision, dodging and throwing snowballs with ease.
