"What, you're not happy about it? Remember, you said it yourself. You owe me."

With trembling fingers, Maggie toyed with the fabric of her clothes, her mind racing as she struggled to find the right words.

“But what about Millie's wedding dress?" she blurted out, the words tumbling from her lips before she could stop them.

Sanford's grin widened, a mischievous twinkle lighting up his eyes.

"Your schedule is packed for the next six months, isn't it?" I'll give you that time. If you haven't won me over by then, well, I guess you'll just have to stay out of my business!"

Six months to win Sanford over? Maggie stared at him, her mind swirling with confusion and disbelief.

The gap in their status was vast. To her, he was as unattainable as the stars, a man she had to admire from afar.

And now, she was expected to win this man over. It seemed nearly impossible!

Maggie's heart raced, and after a moment, she managed a soft "Okay."

Sanford's lips twitched into an involuntary smile.

He was intrigued by the idea of Maggie making a move on him.

Meanwhile, Millie sat in the car, eyes closed. The recent events kept replaying in her mind.

Although she had confided in Janiya, her restlessness persisted.

It was evident over the past few days that Sanford and Janiya were not as close as they had been. She questioned whether Janiya still held any influence. What if her attempts failed?

Sanford was now in Skrix, surrounded by Rosalynn and Brian. Had Sanford and Maggie reconciled already? This thought only increased Millie's unease.

She kept telling herself that Sanford's true affection was for Jaelyn, not Maggie!

How could she forget that Jaelyn was still in the equation? A sly gleam appeared in her eyes, her lips curling into a sneer.

It was time to let those two women confront each other first while she played her cards as a true opportunist.

With this in mind, she pulled out her phone and texted Jaelyn.

"Jaelyn, are you curious about Sanford's whereabouts right now?"
