It appeared that Jordan and George had witnessed Melanie apologising to her, which led them to spare the Spencers.
“You don’t have to thank me. This was Jordan’s
gratitude to your parents for their kindness,ision. I didn’t do anything, but I still want to express my
Milly stated.
Melanie interpreted it as a rejection and felt a bit disheartened. She asked, “Milly, don’t you want to visit my house? Do you think I’m being kind to you
for benefits? That’s not the case. I genuinely like you and
want to be friends with you.”
Perhaps overwhelmed with emotion, her voice quivered toward the end, her eyes reddened, and she was on the verge of tears.
Milly was surprised that her simple words would make Melanie overthink the situation. She quickly clarified. “I do want to visit, but with the exam approaching, I need to focus on studying. How about this? After the exam. I’ll come over for dinner, alright?”
Having lived two lifetimes, she could tell sincerity from insincerity.
Melanie was clearly pouring her heart out. Milly couldn’t disregard her sincerity.
She breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Milly’s response and instantly bounced back. She said, “I know you’re the best. I’ll inform my parents too.”
“Okay.”
As long as Melanie didn’t cry in front of her, everything was fine.
But
“In the future, stop calling me boss. It sounds odd. We are classmates; just address me by my name,” Milly suggested.
Already burdened with William, adding another person calling her boss made it worse. It gave the impression of her being a gangster who led a few lackeys.
William finally spoke up. He was unwilling to be overlooked as he flattered, “That’s right, boss is mine alone. My position is secure, and you can’t take it!”
“You shut…!
Before Milly could finish, Melanie interjected excitedly.
“Boss, you can’t favour boys over girls! Why can he call you that, but I can’t? I won’t accept this!”
Milly was speechless..
William smirked, relishing the drama. He added, “Because I am cute and charming, she likes me!”

“Boss! I want to protest! Tell me the truth; do you like him but not me?”

Milly felt overwhelmed, as if her brain had been tossed into a beehive, causing a painful buzz and throbbing sensation. Now, she grasped why ancient emperors, despite their many beautiful concubines, still wore troubled expressions.
Dealing with such constant contention every day was a challenge, and she considered herself fortunate if it didn’t push her to the brink of madness.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, she raised her hand to silence them. She said, “Stop it! You can call me whatever you want, but I have one rule- no more words!
“Otherwise, I will kick him out!”
But the peace lasted only five minutes; it was shattered when Anthony escorted Stephanie as she walked past Class A’s door.
But in Stephanie’s eyes, this indifference seemed like guilt, prompting her to continue. “Where were you last night? We waited for you at home and worried sick when you didn’t return. Everyone was concerned.
Hearing this, Melanie, William, and Anthony furrowed their brows.
“Stephanie, what are you trying to say? Who are you trying to impress with your cryptic remarks? If you have the courage, speak clearly and stop beating around the bush, Aren’t you tired of it?”
But what did she mean earlier? Why is Melanie now siding with Milly and defending her?
