Chapter 919

Upon setting the tools down, Millie found herself torn, debating whether to slip into the president’s office

and clear things up with Marcus.

Her colleague, Emerie, brought her back to reality.

“Millie, you need to finish the design you started this morning. The client is impatient for it.”

With a growing sense of urgency, Millie sat down to tackle her design, resolving to approach Marcus’

office after work hours. The president’s office was a significant part of the company, and as a mere

intern, she knew she wasn’t meant to be there.

To the company, she was simply Marcus’ employee.

During her design work, Millie’s mind wandered, her thoughts fixating on who might have taken that

photograph. Could it have been Rosie? Or Emerie?

The lack of evidence left her feeling helpless.

She considered approaching the network department to investigate the source, but she knew she didn’t

have the standing to do so.

From the manager’s office, Rosie glanced at a troubled Millie and smiled to herself, satisfied that the

entire building now thought Millie was involved with Bruce.

Millie had crossed her, and this was the price she had to pay.

After work, Millie wasted no time leaving the company. Rather than going home, she headed to the

mall, calling Grace to join her.

“Millie, you mentioned wanting to buy a gift on the phone. Is it for a man or a woman?” Grace asked.

Millie replied, her voice tinged with embarrassment, “It’s for Marcus.”

Marcus’ anger over the photos had left her feeling guilty, and she wanted to buy a gift to soothe him.

Upon hearing this, Grace gently touched her arm and uttered, “Oh, what a heartwarming sentiment you

possess.”

“Please abstain from jesting at my expense. Offer me guidance instead.”

Grace tapped her head thoughtfully. “Perhaps a tie, a belt, a wallet, a masculine fragrance, a pen, or

even a diamond ring?”

An abundance of neckties and belts inhabited their domicile, and she had bestowed upon him a belt on

the previous occasion. The notion of a men’s fragrance did hold promise.

Yet he had previously gifted her with a fragrance. To reciprocate with another perfume would be an act

of feigned sincerity. The diamond ring was an emblem of affection from a boy to a girl, a gift of

considerable expense.

Grace discerned that Millie held no fascination with these options.

“In that case, I’m bereft of solutions. Marriage eludes me entirely.”

“It’s just that I have already presented some of these to him, and a diamond ring is beyond my means.

Doesn’t it command a value of no less than a thousand dollars? Moreover, it would be considered

inadequate for him.” The selection of a fitting gift proved to be an arduous endeavor.

“Put it some contemplation. After all, it’s a gift for your husband. His preferences elude me.”
