บททั้งหมดของ Revenge with my Fiancé's Billionaire Brother: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The time of that meeting seemed to drag on a hundred times longer than usual. And, even though Millicent was feeling like she was swallowing lava and being burned from the inside out while everyone there paid no attention to a single word coming from her, she at least wasn't the only one feeling uncomfortable.“That’s also trash.” Laura threw another script back on the table, probably the thousandth since the meeting had started “Is that all you have to present?”“What do you think about us reviewing some details of the most promising scripts?” Austin's smile crooked even more as he tried at all costs to avoid saying that what she called trash was his best bet “I'm sure if we read it a second time and you can give us some advice, we can come up with a work worthy of your work...”“I’ll take that as a yes.” Mrs. Poulin rolled her eyes, rising from her chair “My expectations were low, but you managed to lower them even further today. If you really want to make a successful production tha

“Here is your table, Mr. and Miss. Bianchi. I hope you like the location. We reserved this place just for you, the moment we found out you were coming to visit us.” the very attentive maître said, pulling out the chair so Millicent could sit at the table in front of the huge glass wall, overlooking the restaurant's garden.“This place was really charming.” Millicent praised, looking around at the latest venture the Bianchi Group had debuted in the city.“It’s flattering to receive these words from you, Miss. Bianchi. Thanks to Mr. Bianchi's investment, we were able to transform the small family kitchen that my grandfather started into a real restaurant. We have expectations to compete for our first Michelin star next year.” the old man said proudly “But please don't let me bore you with my chatter. Can I start by bringing you some appetizers?”“Yes. We’ll probably be ready to order by the time you get back.” Massimo said, although his attention was fully focused on Millicent even befor

Millicent was less nervous for Austin's second team meeting than she thought she would be. Not that anyone was noticing that, of course. Like last time, no one even looked in her direction as she sat at the conference table, reviewing some things on the tablet in her hands, while everyone there chatted and debated their ideas heatedly, clearly thinking that this would be the day when that they would finally reach a consensus that would satisfy Mrs. Poulin. As for Millicent, she just remained completely silent when Austin cleared his throat, catching the attention of everyone there.“Good to have you all here again, guys. Today, our goal will be to polish some of our ideas to satisfy Ms. Poulin. I know she had some strong opinions at our last meeting, but don't let that make you doubt the potential of what we're building here. You know how stubborn a

“You can do that, Millicent. Just breathe. In... and Out…” Millicent muttered to herself repeatedly, focusing only on controlling her breathing to stop herself from overthinking. Around her, the glass interior of the elevator allowed her to practically see the entire city from above. The building where Isaac's apartment was located was certainly a far cry from the usual luxury condominiums where most of the people she knew lived, but it was quite a charming place. Although everything there is extremely new and modern, probably recently built, something about the quite remote location and quiet neighborhood reminded Millicent of her family's farm, on the edge of the city. It was a good place to have… Privacy.Damn, here was her mind taking her too far again. Finally, the elevator doors opened and, with one last deep breath, she took her first step toward Isaac. At least it wouldn't be a complete surprise for him to see her there. The building's security team asked him if they could le

“This was the last topic on the agenda of our meeting today. If no one else has anything to add, we can call it a day. Thanks for the hard work, everybody.” Millicent said it loud enough for everyone at the conference table to hear, but, as always, all she got back were a few mumbles and grunts that were impossible to understand. There was no doubt that she had managed to convince everyone there to respect her word, but on the other hand, there seemed to be more aversion to her than ever. But now, finally, she felt like she could understand the root of the problem. It was more than just a mere prejudice about her being a Nepo baby. Apparently, Jasmine had been spreading lies about her personality and, now that Millicent was finally using her influence as supervisor of that project, everyone thought they had received proof those rumors about her being a spoiled and heartless tyrant were true.Knowing the origin of all that disdain didn't make it any less uncomfortable, however.
