My Bossy CEO Husband

“Isn’t this a design studio, Sanford? Since they do customization for their clients, I expected her to honor my preferences since this is my wedding dress.

I suppose she already knows that because it’ll help boost her reputation and-“

“What request did you make?” Sanford interrupted her rambling, his impatience showing.

After hesitating for a moment, Millie said, “She was about to take measurements of my lower body when I suggested she kneel down to measure it properly.

”

She tried to make it seem like it was a harmless request, but her real intention was to bully Maggie into leaving Skrix.

But she was worried Sanford might see through her excuse and get upset with her.

If so, would he side with Maggie?

“You won’t do it?” Sanford asked, regarding Maggie sternly.

“No,” Maggie asserted.

Although she looked calm, her nerves were taut, dreading the possibility that he would force her to do it in the next moment.

Tension filled the silence that followed.

Millie felt satisfied that Sanford didn’t side with Maggie like she feared.

He must also be toying with Maggie to make her leave Skrix.

Without Maggie in the picture, things would return to how they were used to be.

Thinking of this, Millie ranted, “I don’t think she is fit to be a designer, especially here in Skrix.

She might have won an award, but it doesn’t erase the fact that she’s still a rookie designer.

On top of that, she’s got an attitude.

Since you’re close to Kaliyah, you should tell her about how incompetent her assistant is.

Her reputation will slowly go bad if she keeps this woman by her side.

”

Maggie clenched her hands.

Aside from getting angry at Millie’s comments about her, she dreaded Sanford’s response.

Would he tell Kaliyah to fire her to satisfy Millie’s ego?

Silence filled the room again.

After a moment, Sanford broke the silence, looking at Millie.

“You’re going to be a part of my family soon, Millie.

You should learn when to be assertive and when to be modest.

More importantly, you should know that asking someone to kneel before you for absurd reasons is offensive and child-like.

Only those arrogant and stupid women would stoop that low.

”

His voice wasn’t loud, but each word resounded in the closed room.

Maggie’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Sanford, who was exiting the room.

He didn’t say that he would tell Kaliyah about this or force her to fulfil Millie’s request.

Instead, he did the unexpected: chide Millie.

Millie’s smug smile froze as she watched Sanford leave.

Did he just indirectly call her arrogant and stupid? Why was he suddenly cold to her?

He was affectionate to her just moments ago, while they were picking out wedding dresses.
