Millie did not seem to be joking.
I could not help but frown. “Millie, don’t you know how expensive it is to hire you? Yet, you still want me to pay you more? If this goes on for long, I wonder if I can still afford your salary.”
“Then, you should pray for this guy to visit you less often.” She took out her phone and showed us a QR code. “Ten million, and I won’t let anyone bother both of you tonight.”
“What? Are you serious?” I was getting a bit mad. “What about the medical expenses for the kick you gave my husband?”
She looked down, deep in her thought. Before she could reply to me, Ashton walked past me and scanned the QR code on her phone. “I’ll pay you.”
Beep! The transaction went through.
Then, he put back his phone and commanded, “Go out and guard the room.”
Millie glanced at him warily before looking back at me, staying still.
I massaged my temples and said, “You can leave now. I’ll call you when I need you. And don’t attack without my order next time.”
“I can’t do that. You’ve made it clear that I need to take action whenever someone is going to harm you,” she replied adamantly, sounding as if she was a righteous person.
However, in truth, she was still a wanted international mercenary last week.
“Okay. If that’s so, remember not to attack Ashton Fuller next time. No matter what he does to me, don’t do anything to him. Are we clear?” I could not understand why such a stubborn person could be the best female mercenary and got selected by Holden.
I had told Holden over the phone that I wanted to find someone who could protect me and that they had to be smart. But look at her now. She even wants me to pay her service fee whenever Ashton comes.
“Yes.” With that, she rushed out of the balcony and disappeared out of sight with a rope.
