Her deduction led her to believe that someone had surreptitiously placed it in her drawer while shevisited the tearoom.

With an unyielding countenance, Millie stood her ground, an air of determination unsettling thosearound her.

At this juncture, Emerie’s voice rang out, laden with a guilt that didn’t escape Millie’s notice.

“Given your leave request, you should head back home.”

Surveying Emerie’s visage, Millie’s confusion grew. Why the sudden concern from Emerie? Observingher guilty expression, Millie couldn’t help but speculate that Emerie might be behind the sachetincident.

Leaving the office swiftly, Millie resolved to uncover the truth behind this malicious act.

The general consensus was that Millie had departed for the day.

Unbeknownst to all, Millie descended downstairs to a nearby cafe, procuring over twenty cups of coffeebefore returning to the Thomas Group.

In the lobby, she encountered Derek.

“Mrs. Thomas, why so much coffee? Allow me to assist you.”

Derek approached, relieving Millie of the coffee-laden bag.

“Thank you. I’ve purchased one for each person in the office.”

They stepped into the elevator together. Millie pressed a button as Derek accompanied her to thejewelry design department.

Curiosity sparked within Derek as he surreptitiously examined Millie, her reapplication of the maskraising questions.

Suppressing his curiosity, he inquired further, “Mrs. Thomas, how are you replaceing the designdepartment?”

Millie’s gaze remained fixed on the elevator’s mirrored interior, her response absent. While thedepartment held allure, it also harbored its share of unsavory characters.

“Mrs. Thomas, your experience in the design department is paramount. I’ll convey your wish for apromotion to Mr. Thomas. You needn’t overexert yourself.”

Observing her unresponsiveness, Derek couldn’t help but feel that Millie’s adjustment to thisenvironment was far from smooth.

Millie collected her thoughts and shook her head.

“Thank you, but I’m content where I am.”

Retreating from challenges was not her modus operandi.

Reflected in the elevator’s mirror, Millie’s eyes flashed with a chill. Who could have fathomed thatbeneath her mask lay a face marred by allergy-

induced redness and swelling? Whoever was responsible for this was undeniably malicious.
