Millie, knowing when to be unyielding, responded, “He attempted to flirt with me.”
She pointed at the man wearing a garish shirt.
Bruce’s foot connected with the man in the colorful shirt.
“How dare you make advances on a member of the Thomas family!”
His face contorted into a ferocious expression, and Millie thought he resembled a ruthless demon.
“We were mistaken, Mr. Thomas. Please forgive us,” the man not held by Bruce pleaded, dropping to his knees. Bruce did not release the other man until he had kowtowed three times.
“Get lost!” Bruce barked.
The men scampered away, their terror palpable.
“Millie, why don’t I act as your bodyguard from now on? I’ll accompany you wherever you go. You’re so stunning, it’s easy for you to attract unwanted attention,” Bruce suggested, his tone light.

She hadn’t seen Bruce in quite stime, yet he remained as glib as ever.
“Are you headed to the hospital as well?”
“No, I just wanted to spend twith you,” Bruce replied, shaking his head.
Millie exhaled deeply. “I have no tfor games. If you want to play, find someone else.”

Members of the Thomas family were known for their courage and ambition.
“Millie, are you paying attention?” Bruce waved a hand in front of her face.
