Chapter 58

After walking out of Kris’s office, Millie sat at her desk, feeling more anxious than she had in a long time. This was definitely not how she’d expected the day to go.

Yes, she knew that eventually, her relationship with Thalassa would have to come to light, but she’d hoped it would be after Kris finally realized the truth about his mother and his wife.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had to let Thalassa know. Picking up her phone, she dialed her friend’s number, anxiously tapping her finger on her lap as she waited for the call to be answered.

“Hey, Millie. Good to hear from you. How are you doing?” Thalassa spoke from the other end.

“Not fine. Thalassa, I’m in trouble.”

“Why? What happened?” Thalassa questioned, her voice filled with concern.

“He knows,” Millie said, lowering her voice to just a little over a whisper.

“Who knows what?”

“Kris. He knows that I’ve been helping you all this time.”

Silence ensued for a couple of seconds until Thalassa spoke again. “How did he find out?”

“Apparently, he and his family never told anyone that they were going to the charity function. I was the only one who heard them discussing it. When he confronted me about it, I didn’t know how to deny it.”

Looking back, she realized that she might have had some luck if she’d denied it, had she not been so nervous.
