Even though Millie and I weren’t that close, I already regarded her as my friend because she never once looked down on me or ridiculed me.

The security guards flanked me and grabbed my arms, ready to drag me out. However, being thrown out was an absolute insult to me. As such, I shot Conrad a vicious glare and broke free from the guards.

Right then, an employee who was closest to the door exclaimed, “Mr. Shaw is here. Oh my God! I can’t believe he’s here in our department!”
