Rosalynn was busy with some paperwork in the lounge when she mentioned, "Sanford, Brian is on his way here. He's looking forward to having dinner with you."

Sanford acknowledged with a simple nod.

Millie glanced at Rosalynn, responding politely, "That's very generous of Mr. Hughes."

Rosalynn didn't look up from her documents, her voice devoid of warmth.

“Sanford, the dinner invitation is specifically for you."

She emphasized the word ‘specifically’.

The unspoken implication was that the forthcoming meal would not include Millie.

Sanford understood the hint and suggested to Millie, "You might want to head back to Wragos first with the driver."

Millie felt a sting of embarrassment from Rosalynn's clear snub.

Noticing Maggie stepping out of the room, Millie turned to Sanford with a hint of flirtation in her voice. “But there's nothing urgent waiting for me in Wragos. Maybe I could wait here until your dinner is over, and we could go back together?"

She couldn't shake off the worry of leaving Sanford alone with Maggie.

“Brian and I have a lot to catch up on. I might not return tonight. You should go ahead without me," Sanford responded calmly.

Not return tonight? Millie's face fell a bit. "But..."

Before she could continue, Sanford gave her a stern look.

Millie was at a loss for words. She realized that anything further she said would only make matters worse, possibly deepening Sanford's irritation with her.

She held back the surge of annoyance and stood up, declaring. "Fine, I'll go back on my own then.”

Exiting the studio, she got into the car, shutting the door behind her with a loud bang, her expression filled with frustration.

Why had Maggie returned to their homeland? And why had Sanford abruptly taken her to Skrix for wedding dress shopping? Was it solely for the gown, or was there an underlying motive to meet Maggie? This couldn't be happening!

She had worked hard to keep Maggie and Sanford apart. She couldn't let her efforts be in vain!

After mulling it over, Millie dialed Janiya's number. Janiya needed to be informed!
