Her posture was unwavering, her gaze resolute.

Millie's expression shifted, her anger evident as she raised her hand in frustration. "You bitch..."

Before Millie could finish, Maggie swiftly grabbed her hand and pushed her away.

Caught off guard, Millie stumbled in her high heels, crashing to the floor in shock. “Maggie, how dare you lay a hand on me!" Millie exclaimed, her voice trembling with indignation.

Looking down at Millie, Maggie replied calmly, "I was simply defending myself. There are security cameras here. Please refrain from embarrassing yourself."

Her demeanor was poised and collected, a stark contrast to the woman who had previously endured bullying without a response.

Millie's complexion paled, about to erupt in fury, when she noticed Sanford leaning against the door.

His imposing figure and impassive gaze fixed upon Maggie.

Millie's shock was palpable. The anger drained from her face as she plaintively addressed Sanford, "Sanford, look! She attacked me!"

Seeing Sanford at the door's mouth, Maggie froze.

How long had he been standing there?

How much of their conversation did he overhear?

She only said those words to get back at Millie for threatening her.

But, if Sanford heard them, he might think she was a hypocrite and mock her. Maggie's heart thumped hard, awaiting his reaction.

"Aren't you done with the measurements yet?" Sanford asked, his tone calm and devoid of ridicule.

His gaze was fixed on Maggie as he walked over.

Maggie hung her head to avoid his eyes, feeling uneasy.

Millie, slumped on the floor, thought Sanford would come to her side and help her stand up. Seeing him stop a foot away, eyes fixed on Maggie and clearly had no intention to come to her aid, she swallowed her frustration and got up by herself.

"I asked her kindly to get my measurements in a certain way, but she got upset and pushed me!" Millie grumbled, unnecessarily fixing her clothes and dusting off from the fall.

Sanford raised an eyebrow at Maggie, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I see your temper has worsened in the six months I haven't seen you, Miss Angie."
