Chapter 917

“I’m just surprised. Why did you take up a job so suddenly?”

Bruce, having overheard discussions around the office, stopped an employee to learn about the

situation involving the president’s wife.

“I can’t stay idle all the time, so I decided to work.”

Bruce inquired further, “Wouldn’t being a full-time wife at home be ideal?

Other women work to earn a living, but that’s not necessary for you. After all, I wouldn’t let my future

wife work. It’s tiring. I’d provide for her.”

“I possess talents and aspirations. Why should I be restricted to a homemaker role? Anyway, you

wouldn’t understand. Besides, I have a debt of one and a half million dollars to repay to someone.”

Millie gripped the railing with a hint of frustration. She couldn’t predict how long it would take to

accumulate one and a half million from such a fixed monthly income.

Leaning against the railing, Bruce probed, “Who do you owe one and a half million to? And how?”

“I lost it to Marcus in playing cards when I was drunk.”

“You owe your husband money? Millie, you must be joking. Marcus won’t actually make you repay the

debt.”

Bruce was taken aback by Millie’s statement about wanting to return the money to Marcus. Although

one and a half million appeared substantial to average people, it held little significance for Marcus.

Furthermore, he wouldn’t expect repayment from her.

“I did give him an IOU note at that time. By the way, consider this a warning: don’t play cards with me

when I’m drunk,” Millie playfully cautioned, rolling her eyes at Bruce.

In truth, regardless of Millie’s expression, Bruce found her captivating.

“Alright, I promise not to play cards with you while you’re intoxicated.”

“Is there anything else? I need to return to work.”

Before Bruce could respond, Millie had already turned and reentered the office.

Unbeknownst to them, their interaction had been photographed and posted on the company’s website,

creating a stir.

Unaware of the incident, Millie continued designing jewelry for the young girl.

In the CEO’s office, Marcus’ ire flared upon seeing the photos on the website. Due to the angle, the

images portrayed Millie and Bruce in a seemingly intimate moment.

Derek quickly reached for his phone.

“Mr. Thomas, I’ll have the photos removed immediately.”

In the midst of an unsettling awareness that all eyes were fixed upon her Millie navigated her way

through a sea of curious glances. Oblivious to the recent occurrences that had ignited the office’s

intrigue, she ventured to the company’s website, only to find the content she sought erased from

existence.

Thus, she remained in the dark about the commotion surrounding her.
