Aurelia noticed her indecent thoughts and quickly returned to her room.
She sat on the bed and continued to work.

Meanwhile, in the hotel.
Millie didnât want her parents to worry so she used the hotel landline to call them.
She informed them that she was staying at a friendâs place.
The beds in high-class hotels were large, soft, and undeniably comfortable.
Nothing like her single bed at home.
If it werenât for the hotel calling to inform her that Kimberly had arranged lunch, she wouldnât have wanted to leave at all.
After getting up, she applied a bit of makeup to cover up the red marks on her cheeks and neck.
Then, she went downstairs in the clothes Kimberly had given her for lunch.
Steak, red wine, and dessert-each item was so delicious that she was in total awe.
What bewildered her even more were the prices. Each item cost close to three digits. This was the first time Millie didnât hate Kimberly so much.
âMillie? Youâre still here?â
Speaking of the devil, Kimberlyâs voice came up from behind Millie.
She turned around and saw Kimberly in a black studded dress, holding a Chanel purse.
She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
More importantly, there was a young man standing beside Kimberly.

He was dressed in a navy blue suit, with a branded watch on his wrist and diamond earrings hanging on his earlobe.
He looked handsome and wealthy.
Kimberly changed her date again.
Millie pressed her lips and recalled how she came close to getting violated by a man yesterday. Yet, Kimberly always managed to navigate herself through various high-quality men.
Even Aurelia, who came from a similar upbringing as Millie, managed to snatch a great man.
It was driving her mad with jealousy.
Kimberly saw through Millieâs thoughts and smiled. âMillie, you better not donât misunderstand. This is my friend. Thereâs no way weâd ever be together.â
With his hands in his pockets, the man flashed a dashing smile. âPah. I donât like strong women like you anyways. I prefer gentle and cute girls, like her. She is much better.â

As he spoke, he glanced at Millie.
Millie blushed and felt a little shy.
Although she almost suffered last night, hearing the man say he preferred her over Kimberly still pleased her.
Kimberly shoved the man. âYou better control yourself. This is my colleague. She is a decent girl.â
âIâm a decent man, too.â The man pointed at the empty seat. âDo you mind if I sit here, pretty lady?
âSure.â Millie nodded.
Once the man sat down, he placed his car key on the table.
She immediately recognized the logo. It was a Ferrari.
Kimberly sat down and said to Millie, âIâm sorry. Heâs just like this. Why donât we eat together?
âSure.â Millie stole a glance at the man, only to find him looking back.
After finishing their food, Kimberly stood hastily.
âI have something else to take care of. Why donât you help send Millie home? I canât let a girl go home alone.â
âSure. Go ahead.â The man waved his hand, then turned to Millie. âMy name is Jackson Morrison.â
âIâm Millie Parker.â
âSince we are friends now, why donât we exchange numbers?â Jackson took out his phone.
âIâ¦broke my phone yesterday and didnât have time to get a new one.â
âLetâs go, then. Iâll buy you a new one,â he offered.
âNo, no. I canât accept that.â
Despite what she said, she was secretly thrilled.
âI wonât let a lady spend her own money when Iâm around,â he said and waved the waiter over. âPack another set of these desserts for this lady here.â
âYes, sir.â
Millie waved her hands. âItâs fine. Iâm full now.â
Jackson leaned back against the chair with a smile. âYou seem to like these, so I got you another set. You can have them at home. Itâs not expensive anyway.â
Millie fidgeted with her fingers, impressed by how generous wealthy men were. Shortly after, she carried the bag of desserts and followed Jackson to his Ferrari.
everyone around her stared at her, she straightened her back proudly.
When
She was oblivious to the fact that Kimberly was watching them inside the hotel.
With a smirk, she sent a message.
âMake sure you donât leave any traces.â
A reply immediately came back.
âDonât worry.â
