Millie grunted flatly while brushing her teeth. "Yeah. I got it." Julia could be really long-winded sc etimes.
Julia tapped her on the head with a doting yet frustrated look. "You little rascal!"
Millie pouted at her mom. She took a shower before putting on some makeup. It was past 2:00 pm when she got ready.
Something tugged at her. She stared at the ceiling to recall it.
Right. Her phone. She reached for her phone by the bedside table, only to realize the battery had died,
She fell asleep last night after she reached home because she was tired. When she turned on her phone, she finally recalled the
unfinished task that bothered her.
Winston's texts flooded in. "Is your phone turned off? Did you stand me up?"
"Millie Caldwell, you only have until 2:00 pm!"
"Fine."
She stared at his texts wordlessly. She wondered if she could argue with him, telling him she slept her way until noon the next day because she arrive saving Sean's life.
She was about to put away her phone when Winston called her. Inhaling sharply, she debated for a bit before picking up.
Winston greeted her with silence, and she did the same, knowing

he must be fuming.
After a minute of silence, he finally spoke, "Millie, you won."
She pressed her lips together. "I told you I wouldn't show up."
He taunted her, "What are you scared of?"
That irked her. “I'm not scared of anything. I just didn't feel like meeting you."
"You're just scared." His tone was tinged with mockery.
She
gritted her teeth in anger. He continued, "Are you scared that coming to my place will bring back past memories? Are you scared you won't be able to She raged, "You're shameless!"
"Well, come to my place."
"I won't!"
"That will only prove that you're scared. According to psychology, that would mean you have lingering feelings for this place. Millie, you're not as cool as you seem. You're " This was the first time Winston spoke at such length.
Finally, she cut him off. "I'll go."
She was annoyed at his nagging over some item he wanted to give her. She wondered if he had an ulterior motive to meet up with her -to question her about her unspoken words from last night.
She had to give it to him. Provocation worked well on her.
Sighing, she changed into a new outfit, tied her hair into a ponytail, and went downstairs.
Seeing that, Julia asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going out to pick up an item. I'll be back soon. Don't worry. I'll be at the cruise party tonight."
After a month of waiting for une cruise party, she was curious to see for herself the level of ostentatiousness at the cruise party. She drove away soon, leaving Julia shaking her head at the
entrance.
Millie arrived at Winston's villa soon. She checked out the surroundings and smiled wistfully. Someone had called this place home; the place where every nook and cranny she was once so familiar with.
She was about to knock on the door when someone opened it from within. She was caught by surprise at the person who greeted her-Joanna.
"Millie?" Joanna immediately frowned. She looked rather reluctant to welcome Millie.
Millie too was surprised at Joanna's presence. What was wrong with Winston? How could he invite her over when Joanna was around?
The look in Millie's eyes deepened. She replied, "Yeah. I'm here to meet with Mr. Greer."
"Win is in an emergency meeting. He's upstairs. Come on in." Joanna beamed at Millie before welcoming her into the villa as though she was the lady
Millie studied Joanna. Joanna, who seemed quite familiar with Winston's villa, served her a glass of water and invited her to take a seat.
The hostess' duties that once belonged to Millie now fell on Joanna.
