Breaking the spell, Millie told Marcus, “You should rise. It’s getting late.”
After Marcus left, Millie tried to sleep more but found herself restless, and so she went out.
Upon entering the hotel’s hall, she encountered Nancy and Laurel at the café, their spoons turning slowly. Next to them lay Nancy's design draft, both women giving Millie a chilly stare.
Millie appeared slightly worn, ordered a coffee, and found a secluded comer to sit in.
It was a small cafe. Despite her chosen spot, she could hear Nancy and Laurel’s conversation.

“Her eyes are marked with dark circles. It seems that her anxiety over completing the design kept her awake throughout the night.”
“Certainly. Her uncooperative mind refuses to provide her any inspiration. Just observe, Nancy, her under-eye circles will likely worsen tomorrow.”
Swirling her coffee, Millie took a sip before setting it aside. She then approached the table where Nancy was seated, casting a glance at the draft paper. Noticing that Nancy had only just started the design, a smile crept across Millie’s face.

“Exactly what can she design? Your work will surely be the most astonishing.”
