Chapter 9 I'm Done With Trash Like Callum +20 Free Colos Shannon guessed Millie was curious about Sebastian , so she started spilling gossip . " That guy is a total business whiz . He graduated from Highspire University , starting the biggest private bank across Auremica , Eldoria , and Kavrosia all on his own . " When he came back to Crownspire last year , he took over his family business and doubled their wealth in no time . " People who've met him say he's ridiculously handsome . No wonder every socialite wants a piece of him . " Millie lowered her eyes . With a background like that , it made sense why Laura wanted Anna to marry him . Suddenly , Shannon leaned closer , whispering like she had a secret . " Hey , Millie , you know how to get over someone fast ? " Millie looked up as Shannon wiggled a finger . " Two ways - give it time , or jump into a new relationship . " Before Millie could answer , Shannon added , " And you know what makes your ex regret it the most ? " Find a guy better than him in every way ! " Millie smiled faintly . " Is that so ? " Shannon's eyes gleamed with mischief . " Callum thinks you'll never find anyone better . " But look at Sebastian ! His family , skills , looks - he's the whole package ! If you got with him , Callum would be kicking himself forever ! " Millie rolled her eyes . " Do you think a guy like that would even notice me ? " Shannon sized Millie up from head to toe . Millie had fair skin , bright eyes , perfect features , and a body that could rival any model . " I can't say for sure , but you're stunning . And you're not just a pretty face like those socialites- you've also got brains and talent . " Millie laughed . " Maybe instead of that , you should figure out how to get Sebastian to give us the ' Global Village ' project . 1/4 Chapter 9 I'm Done With Trash Like Callum " If I knew him , we wouldn't even have to compete Halfway through , Shannon caught Millie's teasing smile and instantly deflated , 120 Frm Cond Millie grinned . " See ? We don't even know him . How are we supposed to win him over ? " Millie had been working nonstop on sketches to land the " Global Village " project , After work , Shannon dragged her to the Oriel Club to relax . This place was insane - the definition of luxury in Northspire . Members - only , crazy high requirements , proof of assets , and checks just to get in . Having a membership card here was a status symbol . That was why all the big shots loved it . Shannon didn't qualify for a card yet , so she brought Millie along to see what it was like . Once they parked and walked in , they ran straight into Freya , surrounded by a few old university classmates . Luck wasn't on their side . They all Luck wasn't on their side . They all happened to be students from Arkwright University's design institute . With Callum's support , Freya had started the Freyalith Design Institute , copied Millie and Shannon's approach , and recruited a few university friends . Too bad Shannon was the real deal , and Freya's team was just useless . The two groups locked eyes , and tension sparked instantly . Nancy Lambert lifted her chin , sneering . " Well , if it isn't Millie . " You're so shameless . Callum already dumped you , yet you still cling to that girlfriend title . " Emma Zeller chimed in , venom dripping from her tone . " Exactly ! If it were me , I'd have left ages ago . It's pathetic to hang on like that ! " After graduation , those girls had failed everywhere since their design skills were terrible . Freya gave them jobs paying 10,000 dollars a month . When they learned Callum was backing Freyalith Design Institute , they became Freya's loyal love guards , treating Millie like the evil ex stealing Freya's man . 2/4 Chapter 9 I'm Done With Trash Like Callum Shannon had always looked down on them . They never took their work seriously , only hunting rich husbands . Back in university , Nancy had even been a 50 - something guy's mistress for money . His wife caught her at the campus gate , humiliating her in front of everyone . The scandal nearly got her expelled . Shannon snorted . " Wow , times do change . Mistresses acting all righteous now ? " Nancy's face flushed red as her sore spot was hit . " What did you say ? You're just Millie's lapdog ! " Shannon rolled her eyes . " Don't pretend you're some kind of swan . Look in the mirror - you're just a bunch of idiots ." Emma jumped in . " Millie and Callum never even got married , so how can you call Freya a mistress ? They're both free to do whatever they want ! " Besides , Callum is always at our office , buying everyone afternoon tea and hanging out with Freya all day . That's real love ! " Finally , Millie spoke up , her voice cold . " Callum is trash . If you want him so badly , consider him my gift to you ." Nancy sneered . " Oh , please ! He was always Freya's . You don't get to hand him over . " Freya couldn't hide her smug smile . She must be jealous that I'd won Callum's heart , so she's trying to save her dignity by pretending she's the one letting go . Freya put on her fake - friendly smile . " Come on , we're all classmates . No need to speak to Millie that way ." She strutted over , looking like she'd won . " Millie , I know this stings , but you can't force love . If you can , I hope you'll wish us happiness . Millie's face stayed blank , a faint smirk tugging at her lips . " I'm not interested in recyc trash . But you'd better watch him closely . Don't let him mess with me like a stray dog again . " Freya's expression darkened . Even though Callum treated her well , he still hadn't officially ended things with Millie . 3/4 Chapter 9 I'm Done With Trash Like Callum She'd hinted at it before , but he always said , "I won't break up with Millic ." Freya knew it wasn't love . He just felt too responsible to let go . " Millie , why are you acting like this ? You look like a sore loser ! " Shannon was fuming , thinking those bitches had zero shame . " Freya , are you out of your mind ? Go get checked ! Don't make everyone here sick ! " Freya didn't get angry . She just raised an eyebrow , looking all high and mighty . " Shannon , I truly admire your talent . Why not join us ? Freyalith Design Institute has Pearson Group backing . Way better than sticking with Millie ." Shannon shot back . " Get lost ! You don't deserve it ! " To stop the argument from ruining the club's vibe , a sharply dressed manager stepped in . He gave a perfect professional smile and cut in at just the right moment . " Ladies , do you have a membership card ? " Freya slowly pulled a gold - embossed card from her purse , waving it at Millie with a sickly sweet voice . " Yep . The card is under Callum Pearson . "
