Chapter 100 George’s Jealousy
After waiting for a while with no response, Milly looked up in confusion. Her eyes instantly met a pair of dark eyes.
Milly froze in place, her eyes widening in disbelief. She asked, “What are you doing here?”
Hait a minute……
Could George be the investor Mr. Hawkins mentioned?

Alan saw Milly bump into George and jump in fright. The very thing he dreaded had happened.
Earlier, Stephanie merely brushed against George, and he had angrily shoved her away before storming out. Now, Milly had fallen directly into George’s arms. Wouldn’t George want to wreak havoc here?
Panicking, he quickly said, “Milly, watch your manner. This is Mr. Tate, the Tate Group’s president and investor in our movie. Now, Mr. Tate is returning to the hotel for rest; feel free to greet him.
Milly secretly exhaled a breath of relief upon hearing the explanation. Luckily, she hadn’t called out George’s name directly; otherwise, it would have been hard to explain.
Despite her annoyance, she managed a polite smile. Milly stepped back to create some distance and greeted him politely, “Hello, Mr. Tate. I’m Milly, who plays Giselle in the film.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you today, though it’s a pity you have to leave early before we get to have dinner together. I hope we get to work together in the future.”
Yeah, right!
I could barely hide my joy at his departure.
George noticed the girl standing three metres away from him and raised an eyebrow. His expression was darkening. This little ingrate seemed thrilled that he was leaving.
He asked, “Are you genuinely disappointed about not having dinner with me?”
Milly was stunned by the question.
What on earth?
Disappointed? I’d be ecstatic!
But knowing she couldn’t tell the truth, she feigned disappointment and said, “Of course. Naturally, I felt regret. Dining with Mr. Tate is a dream for all of us.”
Yeah, I’m lying. Just go already!
Hearing this, George suddenly looked up, his eyes locking onto hers with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through her very soul.
Whether intentional or not, he suddenly broke into a pleasant smile, even the curve of his lips exuding a
refined charm.

Sure enough, George nodded and said, “Well, since Ms. Milly enjoys dining with me so much, how could I refuse such a kind invitation?”
And with that, he calmly resumed his seat under Milly’s disbelieving gaze.
Milly was at a loss for words.
This b*stard! He did it on purpose!
It took several deep breaths to suppress her urge to tear him apart.
Everyone else in the room stared in shock.
What was going on?
Milly bumped into Mr. Tate, and not only did he not react angrily, he stayed for dinner because of her?
Did he give different treatments to different people?
Instantly, they all felt a bit of sympathy for Stephanie.
Stephanie sat back in her seat, nursing her aching hand and biting her lip in frustration. She hated those sympathetic looks!
Who did they think they were, looking at her like that? No matter how embarrassed she was, she was still the Burnetts‘ daughter. What rights did they have to judge her?
No one could take away the things that belonged to her.
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out, “Ms. Milly, over here!”
Oliver was there.
He excitedly waved her over, patting the seat beside him, and hinted for Milly to sit with him.
Once Milly sat down, Oliver leaned in and gossiped, “Ms. Milly, you missed a good show just now.”
Milly blinked and asked, “Oh? What happened?”
“Tsk, that Stephanie who’s always hanging around you. She tried to flirt with George but got shut down. It’s a shame you missed it; you’d burst into laughter.”
Milly glanced at Stephanie, who was now sitting in her seat with red–rimmed eyes and tears clinging to her lashes, looking pitiful.
Well, well, the top–notch hypocrite had her moment of failure. This was rare.
“Haha! That girl could really cope with all sorts of situations,” Milly’s tone was bland.
“Right? She’s still sitting here calmly. I would’ve run off in embarrassment.”
Milly gave no response.
When Alan saw George sit back down, he was overjoyed and began flattering him fervently.
George’s Jealousy
George didn’t listen to a word; his eyes fixed on Milly without blinking.

As he watched her and that pink–haired man lean in closer, practically head to head, his expression grew darker. What could they possibly need to whisper about?
However, neither of them noticed his disapproving expression. They continued their casual conversation, eating their food quickly.
Milly, having had a hectic day, was starving. With a table full of delicious food, she couldn’t resist.
The chef at the five–star hotel prepared delicious food. The lemon garlic butter shrimp was fragrant, non- greasy, and suited her taste perfectly.
Milly’s eyes lit up as she reached for a second helping, but…
It was gone.
The next moment, the shrimp was in front of George.
Milly gritted her teeth and muttered that George was being petty. Then, she reached for the roasted pork. It was crispy and delicious, but as she reached for more, the dish was gone again.
Not giving up, she tried another dish. She wasn’t picky; any dish would do. Surely, he couldn’t move everything in front of him, right?
Wrong. He could.
George mentioned he liked it, and Alex immediately stood up, smiling as he moved the dish over.
Milly couldn’t come up with any words.
There was almost nothing left for her to eat. All the delicious dishes were in front of George.
Oblivious to the tense atmosphere, Oliver continued gossiping in her ear, “Ms. Milly, I heard you fall into the water. Are you okay?”
Milly took a deep breath, angrily shovelling the pasta into her mouth. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.
Oliver’s mention reminded her that she hadn’t yet thanked Neal for saving her.
Although she didn’t like him much, a debt was a debt. She had to thank him properly.
