Chapter 244

Millie took her grandmother's hand and gently slipped on the bracelet. As the bracelet adorned Grandma’s wrist, Millie’s heartswelled with emotion.

She sat with her grandmother a while longer. Once Grandma fell asleep, Millie quietly left.

After stepping out a few paces, Millie noticed the silhouette of Marcus. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had mistaken him, butconfirmed it was indeed Marcus upon a closer look.

Millie caught up with him and inquired, “You're still here?”

Marcus glanced at the Director’s office adjacent to him.

“Yes, Iran into an acquaintance and had a chat with him.”

Marcus’ gaze fell upon Millie’s uniform, which hugged her figure perfectly.

Why did she go to waitressing?

Acrease formed between Marcus’ eyebrows as he reached for a bank card and presented it to Millie.“Take this,” he offered.

Hesitantly, Millie took the petite card loaded with enormous value.

With a puzzled expression, Millie examined the card. This situation seemed oddly familiar.

“Each month, I'll transfer a million dollars into this account. You can spend it on whatever you fancy and leave your job,” Marcussaid with stern sincerity.

“| can’t accept this card; | don’t need it,” Millie responded resolutely upon hearing that.

“Are you certain? If you don’t require money, then why are you waitressing? | can’t stand the thought of my wife catering toothers,” Marcus said. A dark cloud formed over his face.

Millie clenched her teeth, detecting the distaste resonating in Marcus’ voice. His pride was evidently wounded because she wasworking as a waitress.“Even if you slaved away there for a month, you wouldn’t make ten thousand dollars. Stop being obstinate.”

Marcus’ gaze deepened. Millie's financial burdens were immense, with the monthly medical bills for her grandmother constitutinga substantial chunk. Despite her diligent efforts, making ends meet was an uphill battle.

“Regardless of your opinion of me, | cannot accept your money. If | need money, | can earn it on my own. Please don’t scorn myprofession. There’s nothing disgraceful about being a waitress. I’m not engaging in any illegal activity.” Millie was reminded of aprevious incident when Marcus attempted to offer her a bank card while she was patching her dress.

Moreover, the waitstaff at the Skyline Restaurant were required to have a bachelor’s degree and proficiency in foreignlanguages.

Just the previous night, Celeste had ridiculed her impoverished background, hurling brutal words. After enduring that, Millie wasresolute in her decision not to accept Marcus’ money.

If Celeste discovered this, she would be the object of further mockery.
