Chapter 44 False Alarm
In the study on the second floor.
George sat solemnly in front of the computer screen. He was dealing with paperwork, but Italf an hour had passed and he hadn’t read a single word.
All he could think about was whether that girl liked the room he had prepared for her.
Would she feel safe staying at his house?
Would she be afraid of thunder and strong winds, like other girls?
After a while, he couldn’t bear it anymore. George rubbed his forehead, trying to suppress the inexplicable irritability in his heart, but with little effect.
Looking out the window, it was still dark and stormy, with lightning and thunder.
What was wrong with me today? I couldn’t focus, George couldn’t believe Milly’s influence on him had reached the point of affecting his work.
He sighed and stood up, deciding that he might need a cup of coffee to perk up.
Because he liked peace and quiet, there weren’t many servants in the mansion. The ones who worked here were trained to know their boundaries. They would usually return to their rooms after finishing their work and giving the master of the house plenty of space.
When George came downstairs, all the lights on the first floor had been turned off, leaving only dim night lights for illumination.
He poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. The strong, bitter taste filled his taste buds and refreshed. his mind.
At the moment he turned around, a figure by the French window caught his eye.
The figure was immersed in her own world, completely unaware of the presence of another person. behind her. She lightly tiptoed, raising her head. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her neck, collarbone, and slim waist.
Spinning, leaping
When she danced, she seemed like an angel from above, innocent and beautiful, unaffected by worldly
affairs.
Such a beautiful girl, and she belonged to me, only to me…
He wanted to keep her and hide her, not letting anyone see her, so that every waking moment, all she could see was him.
It was only when the scalding hot coffee accidentally burned his hand that his sanity was brought back.
He had lost his mind just now and was actually thinking about imprisoning her.

Chapter 44 False Alarm
After seeing Melanie’s message, Milly recalled the general plot of the book and had a rough idea in her mind.
She remembered that in the book, Stephanie performed a perfect spin in front of Mr. Hawkins, coupled with her beautiful face, which led Mr. Hawkins to confirm she should take the role in the movie.
Fortunately, in her previous life, she had studied ballet. Because of her talent, she was even accepted as a disciple by the famous ballet artist at the time. Unfortunately, she was fully focused on acting at the time and didn’t have much time to practice ballet.
After she landed perfectly with a big leap, Milly wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn’t help but smile. Fortunately, the original owner had flexible bones, so there was no stiffness in completing any movement. It even seemed to fit more and more with her previous life’s body.
In that case, it shouldn’t be
difficult to strive for that role,
She was quite satisfied with her muscle relaxation. In order to prevent muscle soreness from the intense exercise just now, she shook her head and stretched her arms. When she rotated her shoulders, she suddenly noticed a figure behind her.
“Arghh!”
Milly exclaimed..
George originally intended to leave immediately after watching her dance, not wanting her to catch him peeking. However, her allure was like an opium poppy. The more he looked at her, the more addicted he became. He knew he should leave, but his feet just wouldn’t move.
When she noticed him and was startled by his sudden appearance, he felt a bit regretful. George asked. “Sorry, did I scare you? I just came down to get some coffee. I heard some noise here, so I came to check”
The coffee in his hand had long gone cold.
Milly was simply startled. When she saw that it was him, her first reaction was to quickly touch her glasses. When she realised they were still there, she breathed a sigh of relief,
“It’s okay, this is your home. You don’t need to apologise to me.
“The floor in the upstairs room is paved with gemstones, a bit slippery, and not suitable for dancing. After coming down and seeing the spaciousness here, I just danced here directly,” Milly explained.
George nodded. He pondered for a moment before asking, “Don’t you like the floor with gemstone inlays?”
Well, it made sense; those gemstones are so ordinary, they really don’t match her exquisite beauty.
Milly was completely stunned and asked, “Huh?”
Didn’t I just say that I slipped on the gemstone floor, and that’s why I decided to dance downstairs? What does my liking have to do with it?
Those are priceless gemstones; how could she not like them? But even if she did like them, she couldn’t just take them, right?
Chapter 44 False Alarm
George didn’t notice her confusion. He continued to indulge in his own speculation and said, “Since you don’t like gemstones, how about gold? Do you like gold? But wouldn’t gold be too tacky?”
His train of thought diverted Milly, and for a brief moment, she was at a loss for words. She finally asked, “Aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt with all this extravagance?”
Even though her family was wealthy, they had never been this extravagant.
To her surprise, George honestly shook his head. He said, “I’m not worried. I have plenty of begin with. If spending this much money would make me go bankrupt, then wouldn’t I be a waste?”
money to
What a bizarre statement from this rich eccentric.
“Well, then, how much money do you have?” Milly asked again.
The question seemed to have really stumped George. He furrowed his brows and quickly calculated in his mind before saying, “Excluding real estate and other fixed assets, the current cash flow available is five trillion. However, most of the funds are tied up in the company. Currently, I can only come up with two trillion on hand.”
Two trillion… only?
Milly had only seen the largest denomination of 650 million in her two lifetimes, but that was limited to the gaming currency.
She chuckled awkwardly. “You tell me all of your assets; don’t you worry I would steal them?”
George suddenly became serious.
No, not exactly serious, but excited.
His eyes were full of excitement as he looked at Milly, and his expression was solemn. He asked, ‘Do you want my money? I can transfer it all to you, including all my assets. If you’re willing. I can have a lawyer come over tomorrow morning to handle the formalities, and we can sign it on the spot.”
Frightened, Milly quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, no, I’m joking.
As soon as she finished speaking, it was clear to see a hint of disappointment in George’s eyes. He almost thought he could bring his wife back home.
It was all a false alarm.
