George gazed at the sweat covering Milly’s forehead. He felt an itchiness in his throat.
Slightly flustered, he averted his eyes and asked, “Did you practice ballet just now?”

Milly nodded and answered honestly, “Yes, I heard that Mr. Hawkins is visiting our school to select ballet. dancers. It’s been a while since I last danced, so I’m a bit rusty.”
She wasn’t worried that George would misinterpret, as the original owner could learn ballet when she lived. with the Smiths.
Her past malnutrition was a result of torment from Stephanie after arriving at the Burnetts.
George didn’t dwell on it. He was frantically recalling information about the movie director. With numerous entertainment companies under the Tate Group and attending various award ceremonies, he had some recollection of this director.
Alan had received numerous awards and had his own set of rules. In short, he was a reputable director.
“Do you need my help?” George offered.
Milly quickly shook her head and said, “It’s okay. I’m confident.”
Whether in dancing skills or acting ability, she could easily outshine Stephanie and secure the role without any favours.
Furthermore, she disliked owing favours, especially from the Tates.
The following day.
The typhoon passed quickly, leaving a clear and sunny morning sky.
Milly breathed a sigh of relief. She was grateful that the wind had subsided and she no longer had to worry about the diamond jewelry on the wall that fell on her during the night
Danny drove the car to the mansion gate and opened the door for Her. He said, “Ms. Burnett, please get in the car.”
Milly obediently entered the Rolls–Royce’s car.
“Where is George?
Milly hadn’t seen him since breakfast; she was curious.
Danny’s hand trembled slightly on the steering wheel as he tried hard to come up with an excuse. He said, “Mr. Tate… hmm… he may have had some business at the company and left early.”
Milly didn’t think much of it and grunted in response.
It was normal for him to be busy managing such a large group.
Seeing that she believed him, Danny secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He couldn’t possibly admit that his boss was currently in the room, desperately studying 100 tricks to pursue a girl, could he?

As Danny had mentioned, George stood by the window in a room on the second floor. He watched the car drive away before returning to sit at the table.
Normally, he would have been dressed and ready for work by this time. Today, he was still in his pajamas and seemed exhausted and pale.
Rubbing his sore forehead, he couldn’t shake the image of the girl’s slender waist and agile figure from
his
mind, as if he had been enchanted.
He considered himself not to be a person of strong desires; even the family doctor, during a check–up, said he might be asexual. However, last night, he experienced a night full of erotic dreams, and the ripples from those dreams were so persistent that a morning of cold showers couldn’t calm them.
Now, just the simple thought of the girl’s face was enough to make him lose control over his own body.
“D*mn it!”
This was the first time George had ever cursed.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and felt a sense of grounding as the nicotine filled his mouth and lungs.
“Haha!” George exhaled smoke rings and sneered, ‘I truly am a beast.
“Wait! You have to wait until after she completes her college entrance exam.”
Milly was unaware of George’s frantic obsession.
She entered Class A and was surprised to see an unexpected figure.
Melanie was engrossed in a physics textbook. Upon seeing Milly, her eyes lit up and she waved at her, “Boss! Over here!”
Milly was at a loss for words.
Did she not know her own seat?
Before she could respond, William was seated next to her. He couldn’t tolerate it any longer and angrily slammed the table and complained, “Who gave you the right to call her that? She’s my boss, and you’re not allowed to address her like that!”
Melanie was seated on the right side of Milly, with an aisle separating them. Despite this, she defiantly stared back and argued, “She’s my boss. Why can’t I call her that? If you have what it takes, try to stop me.”
“You!” William’s anger was evident; he rolled up his sleeves in frustration. He rejected, “No way, she can only be my boss!”
“What rights do you have? I can claim she’s my boss tool What’s the point of a grown man like you complaining?”
“Hey, don’t assume I won’t hir you just because you’re a girl!”
“Well, don’t assume I’ll back down just because you’re a boy. You want to fight, right? Let’s do it!”

Ignoring the two who were on the verge of getting into a fight, Milly calmly sat down at the table with her backpack and said, “If you want to fight, take it outside. Don’t do it in front of me, I don’t want to get caught in the middle.
The two stopped simultaneously as if reaching a silent agreement.
“Hmphl
“Hmph!”
Melanie pouted. She cast an angry glance at William, seated beside Milly. Why had she ever thought this guy was attractive? Was she blind? Or was she simply not thinking clearly?
He was clearly a domineering and arrogant fool, so why did he have the privilege of sitting next to Milly?
Seeing the two finally calm down, Milly asked. “Melanie, why are you in Class A now?”
Melanie responded. “I have always had good grades, consistently ranking in the top twenty of the whole grade. I was just being a fool before, willingly lowering myself to Class D in the name of sisterhood.”
Her expression darkened slightly as she spoke, feeling the urge to slap herself for her past naivety.
Her revelation surprised Milly.
She had never paid much attention to academic rankings.
Milly had no idea that Melanie was such a high–achieving student.
She remarked, “Congratulations that everything finally went on the right track.”
“Hehe, thank you.” Melanie grinned happily and said, “Oh, and by the way, my parents would like to invite you over for dinner. When would be a good time for you?”
Milly was taken aback, and she asked, “Why do your parents want to have me over for dinner?”
She couldn’t recall doing anything significant. Their family’s financial troubles have no direct connection to her.
Melanie was overjoyed. She said, “Oh, I forgot to mention that our family’s business is back on track now. It was a false alarm. My dad mentioned that not only did we avoid bankruptcy this time, but we also secured a major project. It seems like your older brother played a role in helping us out. I don’t have all the details, but my parents are extremely grateful and keep saying that we owe it all to you. Thank you, boss
