Chapter 452
“Mr. Thomas.”
As Marcus’ attention shifted, the shrillness of Nancy's voice jolted everyone in the room, save for Millie. Turning his gaze towards Nancy, Marcus’ voice chilled.
Nancy’s hands trembled as she pulled an envelope from her bag and handed it to Marcus.

Here’s my application, and | hope you'll approve it.”
Though Millie had no concrete evidence, if she told Marcus the truth, he would surely trust her. Studying abroad was a suggestion Humphrey had devised for Nancy.
Marcus accepted the envelope, unfolding it to read the contents.
“This decision to study abroad is rather sudden,” he remarked.
Nancy nodded with sincerity in her eyes.
“Yes, but I’ve recognized my deficiencies. | need to learn more so | can serve the Thomas Group better and produce exceptional designs.”
Facing Marcus and the senior executives of the Thomas Group, Nancy's confidence shone through. “Mr. Thomas, everyone, please wait for my return. I’ll help take the Thomas Group to new heights.” Marcus folded the application and glanced up to find Millie’s eyes fixed on the envelope.
Millie looked away, nonchalant. Was this truly Nancy’s scheme?

Her plan actually worked. The company would view her as an excellent employee and cherish her. Marcus approved with a nod.
“Very well, | agree.”
This left Millie at a loss for words. Forcing Nancy to bark like a dog now seemed cruel.
“T'll return to my room to pack. I'll leave early tomorrow morning. And Millie, | wish you a speedy recovery,” Nancy said warmly. She didn’t forget to show her concern for Millie.
“Mr. Thomas, we'll take our leave as well,” said the senior executives, bidding their goodbyes.
