Millie and Rachel's phone chimed at the same time from a push notification."Jake Webson has issued a statement: I am the animal in the video. My apologies for taking up the attention. As a long-time admirer of Ms. Shaw, I lost control of myself and kissed her when I was drunk last night. I hereby apologize to Ms. Shaw, who was innocent in this incident. "Ms. Shaw, as a woman, has more to lose in this scandal. I hope the public moves on from this scandal and restores her reputation."They both looked up, seemingly conflicted after reading Jake's clarification.Rachel was surprised at Jake's willingness to shoulder the blame. In his statement, he never once criticized her. Not only that, he cleared her name and requested the public to move on from the scandal.She lowered her gaze once more. Her lashes were trembling.Jake called Millie at that time, and she put his call on speaker mode. He sounded calm. "Let's resolve the scandal in this way. Rachel, you don't have to make any

If Sonny was truly the person who kidnapped Winston, then he deserved to die. What went around came around, after all. Eventually, everyone had to face the consequences of their actions. It wasn't that justice was absent; it was just that the time hadn't arrived yet.…After completing her morning tasks, Millie checked the latest entertainment news on her phone. By that point, the public had shifted their focus to criticizing Jake, with some mocking him and others outright attacking him.One user wrote, "This is exactly the kind of thing Jake would do. He has no respect for women!"Another user commented, "He sure is a domineering CEO! But I think they're a good match. I hope Mr. Webson can win Rachel over.""Does getting drunk give him the right to forcefully kiss a woman? What a creep!"Millie clicked her tongue in disapproval after reading the comments.Right then, the elevator doors opened, and she made her way to the outpatient pharmacy to collect a patient's medication

Millie blinked in surprise and saw Rachel nod. She then grabbed Millie's arm, clearly wanting her friend to come along."Alright."They had arranged to meet at a private restaurant on the 30th floor. The place ensured complete privacy, with no one around from the underground parking lot to the elevator ride up. Moreover, the elevator doors opened directly into the restaurant.A server led them inside, took a left turn, and pointed them to a private room."Thank you." Laura nodded, signaling that the server could leave.Laura knocked on the door, and in no time, a deep male voice from inside said, "Come in."As soon as they opened the door, Millie and Rachel saw Jake sitting in the center of the room. He was dressed in a black suit. It was evident that he took the meeting seriously.Rachel then removed her mask and hat. After that, Laura dragged her to stand before Jake. Jake was sitting on the couch. Rachel stood in front of him, her expression hard to describe.Laura glanced

"But he's still so young," Millie responded with a frown.Vanessa chuckled. "He'll grow up eventually. It's good to start training him now. You and Dr. Quinn should go home and get some rest."Millie fell silent. Without saying anything else, she walked away with Lainey.In the elevator, Millie stared at the changing numbers and heard Lainey remark, "She's working so hard because she wants the deputy chief position.""Is she qualified enough?" asked Millie.Lainey smiled knowingly and answered, "She is."Aside from Yoel, Vanessa was the best fit. Lainey's words confirmed to Millie that the deputy chief position was practically Vanessa's.…On the drive home, Millie received a call from Rachel."Hey, superstar, done with your meeting?" Millie teased.Rachel sounded dejected as she said, "Yeah, it's over. My manager has taken me away, so don't miss me.""I won't be seeing you again?" Millie inquired.Rachel responded, "See you at the cruise party."…On the weekend, Millie

"Mr. Greer, are you giving up already? I haven't even started to get serious," Kennedy teased, leaning against the net with a smirk.Winston didn't respond. Instead, he picked up his water bottle and took a sip. At the same time, he glanced at Millie, who was drenched in sweat, her face flushing.Millie couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right between Kennedy and Winston. "Since the game is over, I'm done playing." Millie then told Kennedy, "I'm going to take a shower and then head home. Mr. Sullivan, you should discuss business with my dad."Suddenly, Kennedy offered, "Let me give you a ride home."Millie was somewhat taken aback but quickly declined, "There's no need for that. Thank you, Mr. Sullivan."With that, Millie headed to the women's locker room. Before long, she had finished showering and changed into a new outfit.The top had a clever zip design. Pulling the zipper down would reveal her cleavage, while the lower part would expose a subtle design detail
