Chapter 30 Maybe She Still Trusts Him Chapter 30 Maybe She Still Trusts Him But Millic took it hard . +20 Free Coins She couldn't get over the fact that the feelings she treasured had only ever been charity in someone else's eyes . Lost in thought , she barely realized it when Sebastian led her out of the bar . The Rolls - Royce was already parked quietly at the curb , its headlights throwing two warm beams onto the pavement . Sebastian opened the back door and glanced at her . " Get in ." Millie bit her lip , stared at the open door , then glanced at Sebastian's sharply defined profile . The wind ruffled his coat , exposing his slender wrist and a watch that sparkled like stars in the darkness . She walked over slowly . The Rolls - Royce glided smoothly down the road , passing the city's neon lights that painted the city with color . Tonight , Millie just wanted peace . She had no energy to go home to the Jackmans and fake more smiles . She gave the driver her own address . Caleb adjusted their route and , with a knowing glance , raised the center divider , giving her and Sebastian privacy in the back seat . Millie didn't notice . Not long after she sat down , the buzz from the whiskey hit her again - her temples throbbed and her head spun . Right then , Sebastian's phone rang . He glanced at his phone and answered it .

With her eyes shut , her lashes clung against her lower lids like soft brushes . Her wavy hair cascaded over her shoulder . Right now , she looked fragile . Is she upset over losing the first round of selection for the Global Village project ? Suddenly , the Rolls - Royce took a sharp turn . The movement sent Millie toppling toward the other seat . Before she could fall , Sebastian caught her by the shoulder . Her body was light and soft , with a faint , pleasant scent . He recalled the feeling of her waist when he'd steadied her in the bar . It was so slender that it seemed as if it could snap with any pressure . Even in her sleep , she frowned slightly , looking troubled . Almost unconsciously , Sebastian reached out and gently smoothed her brow , his eyes lingering on her for a long moment . Finally , he whispered , " Don't worry . As long as I'm here , nothing will happen to you . " Half an hour later , the Rolls - Royce pulled up in front of an upscale apartment complex called Regal Court Residences . Moments later , Millie slowly opened her eyes , still a little dazed . It took a while for her to realize she was alone in the car . She was completely clear - headed now . I can't believe I fell asleep in the car ! · She rubbed her forehead , wishing she could disappear from embarrassment . How could she do something so mortifying ?

Maybe , deep down , she still trusted him . She said softly , " Thank you for the ride home , Mr. Hunt . I'll transfer the fare to you in a bit . " Without waiting for a reply , she turned and hurried inside . Sebastian watched her slightly embarrassed figure disappear , a thoughtful look in his eyes . He glanced up at the name of the complex and called his assistant . " Set up a place for me at Regal Court Residences . " The next day , Freya sat in her office , swiping quickly through her tablet , her frown deepening . Yesterday , the internet had been full of stories about Millie and Luminaris Design Institute . But they had all vanished overnight - every single discussion post wiped clean . " How did this happen ? " Why did all the trending stories about Millie disappear ? " Nancy was baffled , too . " Could Millie have paid someone to take them down ? " Freya scoffed . " She doesn't have that kind of power . " Emma jumped in , " Maybe Mr. Pearson felt bad and secretly had them taken down ? " Freya's expression grew even darker . " Impossible ! " Callum had promised to help her push Millie out of the competition . And sure enough , he got Shawn to block Millie's design submission . 3/3
