“I can't control whoever she likes, and I have no idea what she's thinking.
"Even though she knows how I feel, she always turns a blind eye. She insists on treading on my pain by proclaiming that I'm better off with other women."
Nathan vented his frustrations in one breath. He then added, "She's the worst woman I've ever met."
After speaking, he stood up and walked toward the door with a cold expression.
Mila felt a mix of emotions after listening to his rant. She finally let go of the grievances in her heart.
At least, he wasn't together with Fenna.
But was she really as bad as he claimed?
Or did he have no boundaries?
Mila turned back to look at him. She quickly asked, "Mr. Morrison, where are you going?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNathan stopped in his tracks and gripped the door handle. He hesitated for two seconds before replying, “There's a meeting at the armaments department.”
He opened the door and left after speaking.
Mila leaned back in her chair, her gaze lingering on the door after Nathan's departure.
She wore a faint smile as she gently touched her belly. She felt bittersweet at that moment.
“Baby, it turns out that your father still belongs to us. Should I let him know about your existence?
"If I do, Fenna will surely find out too. I'm afraid she'll be as ruthless as the fake Sally. I'm afraid that she might try to harm us," Mila said to the unborn baby in her belly.
Mila felt the baby kicking her belly. She smiled and gently rubbed her belly as she murmured, "Be good, mummy always considers the bigger picture and I won't act impulsively. But for now, I'll observe first, okay?" Mila smiled when the baby moved in the belly.
The next morning, Mila went to the headquarters to complete her employment procedures.
Phoebe followed her closely.
As they entered the lobby of the office building, they coincidentally ran into Fenna coming out of the elevator.
Upon seeing Mila, Fenna froze in shock. Her expression turned gloomy as her eyes grew somber.
Mila walked over calmly. She greeted her politely, "Ms. Hudson, it's been a while."
Fenna held her breath and then slowly opened her mouth to take a deep breath. The next moment, she smirked as she sarcastically said, “I never expected you to cback.
"You were away for half a year and now you have returned. Not only did you cback, but you also had the audacity to travel all the way to the border. You truly are the most shameless woman I've ever seen.” Phoebe's expression becgloomy. She clenched her fists and wanted to lash out.
Mila calmly handed over the documents. She said, "Ms. Hudson, you've misunderstood. I'm here not because of Mr. Morrison. I'm here to start my career."
"Start your career?" Fenna asked as she was shocked. She snatched the documents from Mila's hand and scanned them.
When she saw the employment application, she sneered, "Who do you think you are? You still dare to fantasize about working here?"
Mila curiously asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Fenna threw the documents back at Mila. She said arrogantly, "You got in here through connections, didn't you? Did you get in through the backdoor? Nate, perhaps?"
Phoebe couldn't bear to watch anymore. She interrupted angrily, "Mila got in here based on her own abilities. She's a research engineer in the chemistry department and also serves as an advisor to the armaments department.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFenna looked Mila up and down. She mocked, “I really can't tell. You've studied chemistry abroad for a few years, and now you think you can work here with just a little knowledge?"
Phoebe was furious. She stepped forward as she wanted to argue with her.
Mila grabbed Phoebe's hand and stopped her. She calmly said, "Phoebe, don't be impulsive.”
Phoebe reluctantly suppressed her anger.
Mila smiled gracefully, "Sorry, Ms. Hudson. We're in a hurry to complete the employment process, so we won't disturb you."
After speaking, Mila pulled Phoebe along and walked past Fenna.
As they entered the elevator, both of them turned around.
Fenna also turned around. She was very furious as she looked at Mila with a cold gaze.
As the elevator doors closed closely, their eyes met. They maintained calm expressions, but their hearts were filled with tumultuous emotions. The elevator door closed and then ascended slowly.
Phoebe said angrily, "Mila, why did you endure her bullshit? You even treated her with such kindness!"
Mila reminded her quietly, "Phoebe, haven't you forgotten what I said? Don't get into any trouble. Let me live my life peacefully for these few months."
