Pierce woke up the next day, unaware that anything was amiss. He still messaged Millie frequently even after he'd gone off to work at Atkinson Group.Anything—from Pierce's encounter with a stray cat, to a new shop opening downstairs, and even how he'd witnessed a proposal between a couple—he would tell Millie everything he'd seen.However, despite all his messages, Millie didn't reply.Nevertheless, Pierce was not discouraged and continued his attempts at conversing with her.…Millie had gone to meet up with Sharon today. After all, she couldn't possibly stay in the house all day. She had to get some fresh air."Aren't you afraid that he'll give up if you continue ignoring him?" Sharon questioned."I'll leave that up to fate. If he gives up, that means we're just not meant to be," Millie said.But before she could finish talking, Sharon gave her a hard whack. "I hate it when you say that. He spares all that effort, yet you won't give him an inch. If he gives up, you'll make e

Millie rolled her eyes at Pierce, annoyed."What do you think?" Pierce gave her a contented smile. "I knew you cared about me.""We'll go to the hospital first to monitor your condition."So, Millie took Pierce to the hospital. Luckily, he hadn't eaten much and had merely developed rashes, and the symptoms showed signs of easing after administering some ointment. "I might return late tonight since I have a social event with some business partners. You can eat dinner without me," Pierce said."Alright," Millie simply replied.The dynamics between them both had become slightly complicated. It wasn't as bad as the stalemate they had in the past. Rather, it was more like… they had just started dating. They were courteous, yet intimate.Pierce had been returning home late for the past few days. He probably had critical business proposals to negotiate.Everyday, he would text Millie to report his schedule. At first, she would ignore them, but as time passed she slowly started to r

As Yulia said those words, she secretly looked forward to Pierce's response. After all, she would be thrilled to be involved with a man like Pierce.She had had her eyes on Pierce back then, and now that he'd saved her life, she saw him through rose-tinted glasses. Now, she was deeply and helplessly in love with him."It's fine. Think of it as charity," Pierce calmly said. Then he said, "Tobias, let's go straight to the conference room. Get ready to start the meeting." With that, he walked straight ahead without sparing Yulia a single glance. Yulia watched as Pierce left, her eyes filled with admiration.As she exited the Atkinson Group office and looked at the towering skyscraper, her excitement was beyond words. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to cross paths with the renowned Pierce Atkinson in this lifetime. It was just that he was too cold toward her, which made it impossible for her to get close to him. On top of that, he was married, and from wha

Yulia had been waiting for Pierce to reach out to her first, but there was still not a single sign from him even after waiting for a few days.She had not expected Pierce to have so much patience. Was he playing hard to get?Every day, Yulia waited for Pierce in the lobby on the first floor, wanting to see him one more time. Because of that, she came in late for work, but no one said anything about it.However, what was disappointing was that she never succeeded in meeting Pierce—not even once. Little did she know that Pierce's car was parked in a designated location and he took the elevator, so he never passed through the first floor at all.Instead of running into Pierce, Yulia ran into Millie.When she saw Millie coming, she instinctively tried to put her best foot forward. She intentionally walked toward her and then pretended to bump into her, spilling the coffee she was holding onto Millie."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that," she apologized.Millie glance

Millie couldn't help but share with Pierce who she'd met earlier on."Who?" Pierce asked."Do you still remember the young lady who tried to hit on you while we were waiting in line to buy cake last time? She's currently working at Atkinson Group—as a permanent employee, no less! She's probably been working here for a while."Since interns had a three-month probation period, Yulia must have worked for the company for quite some time now if she was already a permanent employee. "Really?" Pierce didn't know this, but neither did he care about it. He simply continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you too. I met her not long ago—she was being forced to work at a nightclub. Apparently, her family was declared bankrupt, and loan sharks were looking for her to collect debt."When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of you. If I had not been sent on a mission and stayed at Arbelton back then, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. And in turn, maybe you wouldn't hav
