Together, Millie and Derek reached the design department.

Upon Derek’s entrance, the office buzzed with activity. All work was momentarily suspended asemployees rose to greet him.

“Mr. Yates.”

Derek commenced the distribution of coffee, his gestures akin to a beneficent gesture.

“Thank you for your dedicated efforts. Take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee.”

“Thank you.”

Words of gratitude permeated the air as employees gratefully accepted the reprieve.

Amidst their typically hectic routine at the Thomas Group, employees relished the chance for respite.With a brief neck massage, they eagerly grasped their coffee cups, savoring the opportunity for amoment of relaxation.

Emerie’s coffee, however, was delivered by none other than Millie herself

“Emerie, please savor this.”

Caught off-guard, Emerie’s gaze bore a question as to Millie’s sudden reappearance and herpersonally delivered coffee. A sense of foreboding tinged the atmosphere.

Derek addressed the room, waving his hand in explanation.

“It’s Millie who’s provided the coffee for everyone.”

Though the revelation was met with surprise, each member eventually indulged in the drink.

Except for Emerie, who held the coffee cup but remained lost in thought, refraining from taking a sip.

“Emerie, why aren’t you drinking? Afraid it might not suit your taste?”

Millie’s smile carried a hint of bitterness.

Summoned by Millie’s inquiry, Emerie’s skepticism deepened. She lowered the coffee cup and repliedwith a forced smile, “Not at all. I’m experiencing a bit of a stomachache today, so coffee’s not on theagenda.”

Derek watched the exchange with a sense of intuition tickling his senses. He chimed in, echoing Millie’ssuggestion, “Emerie, you should give it a shot.

This coffee is low-acid and shouldn’t trouble your stomach.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

As Marcus’ confidant and assistant, Derek’s words held weight. Emerie couldn’t decline withoutarousing suspicion. She lifted the cup and tentatively sipped from it.

Observing her drink, Millie’s smile lingered.
