Fiona watched Leon leave, then tumed and headed back toward the apartment. She returned to her unit and opened a carton of milk, but then her gaze sharpened and she clenched her hand around the carton.
She was positive that if Millie found out about her deception, she would tell Leon about it. Worse, Millie lived in the neighborhood, which meant that Leon would almost certainly run into her whenever he visited.
She needed to figure out a way for Millie to leave the neighborhood.

“Miss, are you leaving already?”
“Yes, I plan to live overseas for a while. Stick to the plan while I’m away. Don’t give Leon any reason to suspect your identity. Then, slowly start demonstrating your self-centeredness and worship of money to make him despise you,” Lois instructed.
“T understand,” Fiona replied.
However, she knew how challenging it would be to carry out the plan. Leon was such a wonderful man; she doubted she would have the will to reject him when the tcame.
“I’m warning you, Fiona. He’s mine. You’d better not fall in love with him and steal him from me. I won’t forgive you if you do,” Lois threatened.
She knew that it would be hard not to fall for Leon due to his good looks and impressive capabilities.
Fiona promised, “Don’t worry, miss. I won’t.”

“You haven’t slept yet?” Marcus was a little taken aback. Was Millie waiting for his arrival?
Millie had already brushed her teeth and washed her face. Her locks were a tangled mess. The apartment’s lights were on, and its occupant appeared to be waiting for him to return.
“I just finished drawing a design draft. I was just about to sleep,” Millie said.
She then asked, “Did you attend a social gathering or something?”
With a nod, Marcus sat down on the sofa.
Millie frowned. “You’re still injured. You shouldn’t be drinking too much.”
Marcus replied, “Derek drank my portion.”
