Upon setting the tools down, Millie found herself torn, debating whether to slip into the president’s officeand clear things up with Marcus.

Her colleague, Emerie, brought her back to reality.

“Millie, you need to finish the design you started this morning. The client is impatient for it.”

With a growing sense of urgency, Millie sat down to tackle her design, resolving to approach Marcus’office after work hours. The president’s office was a significant part of the company, and as a mereintern, she knew she wasn’t meant to be there.

To the company, she was simply Marcus’ employee.

During her design work, Millie’s mind wandered, her thoughts fixating on who might have taken thatphotograph. Could it have been Rosie? Or Emerie?

The lack of evidence left her feeling helpless.

She considered approaching the network department to investigate the source, but she knew she didn’thave the standing to do so.

From the manager’s office, Rosie glanced at a troubled Millie and smiled to herself, satisfied that theentire building now thought Millie was involved with Bruce.

Millie had crossed her, and this was the price she had to pay.

After work, Millie wasted no time leaving the company. Rather than going home, she headed to themall, calling Grace to join her.

“Millie, you mentioned wanting to buy a gift on the phone. Is it for a man or a woman?” Grace asked.

Millie replied, her voice tinged with embarrassment, “It’s for Marcus.”

Marcus’ anger over the photos had left her feeling guilty, and she wanted to buy a gift to soothe him.

Upon hearing this, Grace gently touched her arm and uttered, “Oh, what a heartwarming sentiment youpossess.”

“Please abstain from jesting at my expense. Offer me guidance instead.”

Grace tapped her head thoughtfully. “Perhaps a tie, a belt, a wallet, a masculine fragrance, a pen, oreven a diamond ring?”

An abundance of neckties and belts inhabited their domicile, and she had bestowed upon him a belt onthe previous occasion. The notion of a men’s fragrance did hold promise.

Yet he had previously gifted her with a fragrance. To reciprocate with another perfume would be an actof feigned sincerity. The diamond ring was an emblem of affection from a boy to a girl, a gift ofconsiderable expense.

Grace discerned that Millie held no fascination with these options.

“In that case, I’m bereft of solutions. Marriage eludes me entirely.”

“It’s just that I have already presented some of these to him, and a diamond ring is beyond my means.Doesn’t it command a value of no less than a thousand dollars? Moreover, it would be consideredinadequate for him.” The selection of a fitting gift proved to be an arduous endeavor.

“Put it some contemplation. After all, it’s a gift for your husband. His preferences elude me.”
