Did he like Millie? He was not really sure about that because they had just met.
He could not deny that he felt comfortable around the woman, though.
“I'm sorry, but | can’t answer that. It’s a personal matter.”
Rhea silently berated him for his response, but she maintained a smile on her face.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Look, | just want to help because | can tell you’re interested in Millie. | guess we should clear up a misunderstanding first. It may not look like it, but Millie and | are actually good friends. She’s just angry at me right now because we got into a little bit of an argument.”
After a while, Patrick asked, “Does this mean that Millie is still single?”
Finally, the most important question was asked. Rhea did not even bat an eye as she lied. “Yes, she’s absolutely single right now.”
“Then tell me. What's the relationship between her and Mr. Thomas?”
It was still bugging Patrick. Millie denied being Marcus’ employee, and she also claimed they had just met, but they clearly had known each other for some time.
Patrick knew Millie was lying to him.
“Oh, my God! Do you think that Millie and Marcus are a couple? Don't be silly. Millie is an excellent woman, but the Thomases don’t just accept anyone into their family.
Trust me; you have nothing to worry about. You can boldly pursue her.” Rhea made it sound plausible. Patrick asked, “You're not lying, are you?” “| promise I’m telling the truth! Anyway, as | said, Millie is an excellent woman.
She's pretty and smart. You'd better hurry up. We won't stay here for long.”
Rhea raised both fists in an encouraging gesture before walking away.
Millie, who was busy picking oranges, suddenly sneezed. Little did she know, her enemy was talking about her and even singing her praises.
It was unthinkable, after all. Two hours later, everyone in the orchard started working in teams to pack oranges. With her head bowed, Millie stuffed oranges into the box. She was being assisted by the owner of the orchard, Latoya Carter.
Some people noticed that Latoya had been stealing glances at Millie, and one of them decided to talk to her.
