Chapter 101 Comforting George

Neal sat beside Milly. His posture was straight and formal. The solemn demeanour made him seem as if he were attending a business meeting.

Alan and George, who were across from each other, continued their lively conversation. He was passionately discussing the selling points of the movie. George, however, seemed a bit impatient. His brow furrowed in frustration.

Both men looked exhausted, but no one mentioned ending this seemingly pointless dinner.

Milly couldn’t help but sighed. It seemed tough for everyone; even a business mogul couldn’t just walk out when he felt like it.

Alas! The times are tough. Making money isn’t easy.

Wait a minute…

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but knock on her head. How could a struggling worker like her feel sorry for a wealthy capitalist? She must be losing it. They probably made more in an hour than she could earn in a month.

Focus on yourself, she reminded herself. There’s no need to worry about others.

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her chaotic thoughts and looked at Neal with a professional smile.

“Mr. Neal, thank you for everything today. I would like to toast you.”

Neal was startled by the sudden toast. He was momentarily at a loss, as he hadn’t really helped her much today. Why was she thanking him?

Nevertheless, his well–honed actor’s reflexes kicked in. He quickly picked up his glass and smiled, clinking it with hers. “Not at all; I didn’t do much”

Milly’s smile grew more genuine, and she said, “You’re too humble.”

After the brief exchange, they both downed their drinks.

Milly’s cheeks flushed slightly after the drink. Probably the wine was strong; her eyes were misting over as if she were about to cry. It made her look even more endearing.
