“I’m fucking going crazy, Alden. I need to see her,” Kris gritted out, pacing his office.

Last night, after leaving the Miller Mansion, he had wanted to go straight to Thalassa to reaffirm his innocence. But Alden had dissuaded him from it, telling him that he needed to wait for some time for Thalassa to reflect on everything so that they could have a calm conversation about it later.

“How long is it going to take?” Kris muttered, his frustration bubbling over. “Surely, she’s had enough time to reflect and will be willing to listen to reason by now.” With a decisive nod, he added, “I’m going to see her. I can’t wait any longer.”

Just as he was about to leave his office, a knock sounded at the door. Kris opened it to find Millie standing there. “You’re late,” he saud, a barbed edge to his voice.

Kris’s ears perked up as he closed the door behind her. “What did you two talk about?”

“She told me she believes it was you who paid her model to destroy her dresses,” Millie answered, her tone matter -of–fact.
