Milly nodded and answered honestly, “Yes, I heard that Mr. Hawkins is visiting our school to select ballet. dancers. It’s been a while since I last danced, so I’m a bit rusty.”
She wasn’t worried that George would misinterpret, as the original owner could learn ballet when she lived. with the Smiths.
Her past malnutrition was a result of torment from Stephanie after arriving at the Burnetts.
George didn’t dwell on it. He was frantically recalling information about the movie director. With numerous entertainment companies under the Tate Group and attending various award ceremonies, he had some recollection of this director.
Alan had received numerous awards and had his own set of rules. In short, he was a reputable director.
“Do you need my help?” George offered.
Milly quickly shook her head and said, “It’s okay. I’m confident.”
Whether in dancing skills or acting ability, she could easily outshine Stephanie and secure the role without any favours.
Furthermore, she disliked owing favours, especially from the Tates.

The typhoon passed quickly, leaving a clear and sunny morning sky.
Milly breathed a sigh of relief. She was grateful that the wind had subsided and she no longer had to worry about the diamond jewelry on the wall that fell on her during the night
Danny drove the car to the mansion gate and opened the door for Her. He said, “Ms. Burnett, please get in the car.”
Milly obediently entered the Rolls–Royce’s car.

Normally, he would have been dressed and ready for work by this time. Today, he was still in his pajamas and seemed exhausted and pale.
Rubbing his sore forehead, he couldn’t shake the image of the girl’s slender waist and agile figure from
his
mind, as if he had been enchanted.
He considered himself not to be a person of strong desires; even the family doctor, during a check–up, said he might be asexual. However, last night, he experienced a night full of erotic dreams, and the ripples from those dreams were so persistent that a morning of cold showers couldn’t calm them.
Now, just the simple thought of the girl’s face was enough to make him lose control over his own body.
“D*mn it!”
This was the first time George had ever cursed.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and felt a sense of grounding as the nicotine filled his mouth and lungs.
Milly was at a loss for words.
Melanie was seated on the right side of Milly, with an aisle separating them. Despite this, she defiantly stared back and argued, “She’s my boss. Why can’t I call her that? If you have what it takes, try to stop me.”
