Chapter 11 Stuck with the Bill Chapter 11 Stuck with the Bill " I'm so mad ! That woman has absolutely no shame ! " +20 Free Colin Shannon slammed her designer bag onto the couch . She waved over a waiter . " Bring me a bottle of whiskey ." She needed something strong to calm her burning rage . Meanwhile , Millie was still recovering from her leg injury . She only ordered a glass of lemonade . Shannon continued her rant . " Callum is such a jerk ! That cheating bastard ! " After venting , she suddenly remembered something . Millie should be the most heartbroken right now . Shannon asked with concern , " Millic , are you okay ? " Millie had to admit her heart felt like someone was slicing it with a razor . But this pain had become so familiar , it was almost numb .. Callum's betrayal wasn't a sudden explosion . It was a slow leak she kept trying to patch . He had taught her how to navigate life's rough patches . Years ago , he'd shown her how to stay calm . during storms . " From now on , whatever happens between Callum and Freya doesn't concern me . " Shannon thought about that bitch Freya's smug expression earlier . " You think Freya's just some poor little victim ? Did you see how smug she looked ? I bet she's desperate to flaunt their relationship in front of you ! I wouldn't be surprised if she filmed herself with Callum just to rub it in your face ." Millie lowered her eyes . A fighting spirit blazed in Shannon's eyes . " I heard Freya's also competing for the design rights . It's for the ' Global Village ' project . Millie , we absolutely have to win that contract . We need to show that pathetic design firm of Freya's what we're made of ! " The two women drank and discussed design details until near closing time . The waiter approached them with the bill . " Miss , your card has insufficient funds . You still need to pay an additional 700,000 . " Ο 1/4 Chapter 11 Stuck with the Bill Millie remembered when she first got the membership , she had loaded one million onto it . This was her first time using it . How could she still owe 700,000 Millie asked , " My membership card had one million balance before . Are you sure this is right ? " The waiter double - checked . " That's correct . Tonight's total spending was 1.7 million . The one million on your card has already been deducted ," Shannon was puzzled . " We only ordered a bottle of whiskey , a glass of lemonade , and a fruit platter . Even if the Oriel Club is expensive , these few items couldn't possibly cost 1.7 million ." Millie asked , " Where did all this spending come from ? " The waiter replied , " The Vista Room . " That was Freya's room tonight . Millie understood immediately . When she had set up her membership card earlier , it was linked to Callum's card . They had joint spending privileges . In other words , tonight's charges from Freya were being billed to her account . Hearing this , Shannon laughed bitterly . " So not only is Freya using Callum's card to show off , she's also sticking you with the bill ? " In the Vista Room , things were different . Callum had just publicly acknowledged her as his fiancée . Because of this , everyone treated her with even more envy and admiration . Freya had been surrounded by admirers all evening . Nancy , Emma , and the others kept flattering her with sweet talk . They called her " Mrs. Pearson ." This made her feel like she was floating on air . To show off , she told everyone to order whatever they wanted . She said they could order as much as they wanted . Privilege and money really did bring such satisfaction . Freya made up her mind once again . She absolutely had to make Callum completely hers . 2/4 Chapter 11 Stuck with the Bill She even started fantasizing about walking into elite social events on Callum's arm , She imagined basking in everyone's envious stares . When it came time to pay the bill , Freya handed over the membership card just like last time . The Oriel Club was so convenient . The membership card not only represented status and granted entry , but also allowed for purchases . So she could maintain her image in front of everyone . She could do this without actually spending her own money . But suddenly the waiter said , " Ms. Smith , your membership card has insufficient funds . Would you like to use the joint card for payment ? " Freya had no idea what a joint card was . Tonight's bill was 1.7 million . She didn't have that kind of money . So she agreed . After the waiter processed the joint card , they said something else . " After using the joint card , you still need 700,000 more . Will you pay this or should we contact the joint card owner ? " Freya assumed they meant Callum . This 700,000 was pocket change to Callum . His assistant could probably handle it without even bothering him . Millie and Shannon walked into the private room . They found everyone dancing wildly with champagne bottles scattered all over the floor . When Nancy saw them appear , she stopped dancing . She said mockingly , " Millie , Shannon , what are you doing here ? " Emma laughed with contempt . " They're probably just jealous and resentful . They're upset that Callum acknowledged Freya as his fiancée . That's why they want to confront her . Millie , I suggest you to give up . You're no match for our beautiful and kind Freya . " Freya tossed her long hair . " Don't be rude . All guests are welcome . Millie , if possible , I really hope we can be all , we've both loved the same man . Isn't that some kind of fate ? " ids . After Millie wasn't in the mood for her fake sweetness . She threw the bill right at her . 3/4 21:22 Mon , Sep 29 Chapter 11 Stuck with the Bill " I don't care if you use Callum's membership card . But using my money to show off and splurge ? That's not going to work ! " -
