Chapter 1180

Soon enough, Millie felt his entrance into bed, then her form was promptly rotated to meet his gaze.

Marcus beheld her, a smile curving his lips.

“Darling, did you truly perceive me as just a bath towel-clad man moments ago? You seemed to react

as though I were entirely exposed.”

Safeguarded within his embrace, Millie’s voice emerged, a muffled protestation.

“Hush, or I might bite you into submission!”

On Monday, within the corridors of the executive level, the elevator disgorged Marcus onto the floor. Its

doors peeled apart, revealing Nancy stationed nearby. Red-rimmed eyes regarded Marcus as she

murmured, “Mr. Thomas.”

Undeterred by his stride, Nancy launched her plea. Perhaps a second chance lay within Marcus’s

discretion.

Uninterrupted, Marcus progressed. A cursory glance was his sole concession before he averted his

gaze and proceeded toward his office.

“Speak your piece.”

Unhesitating, Nancy tailed him into the office.

“Mr. Thomas, my tenure has encompassed myriad designs and substantial contributions to the Thomas

Group over these years. This organization has grown to feel Like home.”

Marcus navigated to the substantial desk, swiveling the chair to seat himself .

With a pitiable gaze, Nancy made her appeal, a tear tracing its descent.

“Mr. Thomas, I’m cognizant of my missteps. I’m prepared to do anything, so long as I’m permitted to

remain.”

Her hope rested on her capacity to elicit sympathy through her forlorn countenance.

Remained seated, his visage possessed a disconcerting air, a countenance that sent shivers down

spines yet paradoxically ignited a desire to draw near. Existing in his proximity was a vision coveted by

women across the globe, an embodiment of their collective dreams.

His hands sifted through the drawer, scouring for information. Nancy, meanwhile, tugged at the hem of

her loosely draped sweater, a glimpse of her shoulder unveiled.

Her determination to stay within the Thomas Group was underpinned by more than its stature as the

nation’s premier jewelry enterprise. Her admiration for Marcus likewise fueled her resolve.

“To clarify, you’re expressing a desire to continue your association with the Thomas Group?”

After extracting the document and unfolding it, Marcus raised his gaze with an air of nonchalance.

“You’re willing to do anything for me?”

He reclined, his arms draped over the armrests.

Capitalizing on the moment, Nancy seized her opportunity, nodding with bashfulness. She perceived

her dreams materializing before her.

“Absolutely, Mr. Thomas. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes. I believe I can match Millie. If you so

desire, I’m ready to…”

Her sentence trailed off, yet the implication lingered in the air.
