She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 453



Millie was the last to board the cruise. The scale of the cruise appeared grander than she initially imagined.

She entered a digital reception lobby, where the hottest women of Yerwick served as the waitstaff. The striking beauties stood in two lines in their unifoCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Millie handed her invitation card to the person in charge. The latter nodded at her. "Welcome onboard, Ms. Caldwell."

"This is your name tag." A young lady went up to Millie and pinned a lovely and understated butterfly badge on Millie's chest.

Prior to joining the cruise party, each attendee was required to fill out a form indicating their

preference for the badge. The host would customize the badges based on the attendees' selections, and each badge came with a location tracker in c After all, the host would not want to be held responsible for any disappearances or accidents, given the high profile of the cruise party attendees. Millie nodded at the staff member and adjusted her badge. After that, she followed the staff member into the elevator.

They traveled up to the sixth floor, where the dinner party was hosted. The desserts and other snacks were laid out. A pleasant and light piano music f On the stage, a female musician played with much elegance.

Millie was instantly greeted by a waiter when she showed up. "Hello, Ms. Caldwell, how may I help you? Shall I give you a tour of the cruise?" She shook her head. "It's fine. I'll stroll around the place on my own."

The waiter replied, “Sure, Ms. Caldwell. I'm Valet No. 3. You may press your badge if you need anything, and I'll show up right away.”

Millie was slightly taken aback by the badge's unexpected utility. She admired the host's thoughtfulness in assigning a valet to each guest.

She thanked Valet No. 3, who left in

no time. Left alone, she walked

around the area for a simple exploration. At the same time, she checked out the profiles of the attendees.

Not far away stood a man who was chatting with three ladies. That was Jonathan Ward, a notorious player in Yerwick.

Looking to Jonathan's side, Millie

spotted a rather round but adorable

guy-a familiar face and her

classmate from college. The man studied in the School of Medicine, but he specialized in veterinary sciences.

Her gaze finally landed on Winston while she sipped on her wine. He socialized with the other guests, which was not his favorite activity.

He had never attended such events before, so she was surprised to see him at the cruise party

Soon, Joanna joined Winston and

took his armat immediately struck

Millie that Winston must have attended the party for Joanna's

sake. He must have followed along because he was worried for

Joanna's safety at the cruise party, where dangers lurked at every corner.

Millie believed that Winston wouldn't have attended for her sake as he didn't love her enough, unlike what he did for Joanna.

She took another sip of wine. It was at that time someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Ms. Caldwell, are you here alone?"

She spun around and saw Sean peering at her meekly with a tilted head.

She narrowed her eyes and thought, "Well, he certainly looks different from last night. From up close, his skin

is perfect, and his lashes are thick and long. He's hot."

Sean was youthful and masculine.

"Yeah," she said flatly before leaving.

Since Sean was Winston's friend, she didn't plan on getting overly close to him. Not only that, she wanted to stay away from all of Winston's friends.
