Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Millie paused, "Babe, it's our first trip abroad together. Aren't we going to take a selfie?" Murray replied indifferently, "I'm not into photos." After that, he closed his eyes to rest.

Millie bit her lower lip, feeling like a bucket of cold water spilled over her excitement.

The Maldor Beach welcomed them with its vast blue skies and seas. Immediately after they disembarked from the helicopter, a staff member greeted them.

After checking in, a bellhop took care of their luggage. Looking tired, Murray headed to the elevator, and suddenly, his gaze landed on Corley.

Emerging from the elevator, Corley seemed to have embraced the local vacation vibe, donning a floral print button-down shirt paired with matching beach shorts. Maybe it was his buff build or good looks, but he somehow made that gaudy outfit look totally classy without even trying.

Corley spotted Murray immediately and strolled to him with a somewhat teasing smile, sunglasses hanging from one hand, exuding a carefree charm. "Hey, here for a getaway?"

Unamused, Murray replied, "Yeah, what a coincidence, huh?"

Corley smirked, "Maybe it's fate. But you're a bit slow. I got here a day earlier."

Murray's expression darkened at the mention, "Thanks to someone's misleading information, I got delayed. But your early arrival didn't quite pay off, huh?"
