She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 455

Millie was stunned and confused by Sean's bold move.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

However, she soon calmed down. After all, she too grew up abroad, and she understood the cultural differences in self-expression.

This reminded Millie of an incident abroad, where she was out buying some flowers. A handsome man footed her bill before praising her beauty.

She had never encountered Chirean men who openly flirted with her in this manner.

More importantly, she wondered if Sean was misguided. She reminded him, "Mr. Stringer, I'm the ex-wife of your friend."

He tilted his head quizzically. “So what? You're divorced now, aren't you?"

She was rendered speechless. Those who lived abroad certainly were more liberal and free-spirited, reckless enough to flirt with a friend's ex- spouse.

Unlike the fraught relationship between Winston and Kennedy, Sean enjoyed a close friendship with Winston.

She shrugged. "I'm not interested in pitching two friends against each other for love."

Sean wanted to reply, but she cut him off and put her palms together. "Mr. Stringer, I need some peace and quiet. Please."

"I want to drink..." Sean grabbed the wine glass. She promptly reminded him, "You are healing from a deep wound. Think twice about drinking."

*Mills, if you don't want me drinking, you should keep an eye on me. I

can't keep myself under control if no one is supervising me," Sean complained with a pitiful expression, his arms folded on his chest.

It was at that moment Millie saw Sean for who he was. Underneath his youthful and manly appearance was a cunning soul.

She couldn't believe that he would flirt with her by calling her nickname. No woman would be able to resist his charms.

Her heart fluttered. All these years, she had only been around prim and proper men or massive jerks. No one had treated her the way Sean did. It felt

"So, may I kiss you?" Sean cocked his head and flirted with her.

Smiling, she was about to reject him when Winston's unfeeling tone rang in the air. He warned, "Sean Stringer, control yourself."

He attracted Millie's and Sean's

set

attention. Then, he loosened his tie

and took a seat across from them, ough cautioning Sean not to

as

bring his foreign ways to Chirea.

Sean snickered. “It's a man's nature to flirt with attractive women. What do you mean by telling me to control myself?"

Winston glared at Sean, but Sean exhibited no fear around him.

Millie put on a bitter smile before taking a sip of wine.

Winston glanced at her, wondering why she didn't avoid Sean's attempts to flirt with her. He thought she was aware of his friendship with Sean.

He tutted and downed the red wine

in his glass. Sean immediately corrected him, "Why are you clicking your tongue? You should be more gentle and patient around gorgeous ladies like Millie!"

She smirked. Look at those two, singing the same tune. Men annoyed her to no end.

Shrugging, she remarked, "Have fun chatting." She needed some peace. They'd better not show up in front of her again, or she might lose her temper

After that, she made her way to the deck on the seventh floor, where a band was singing and playing live music.

Staring at the retreating coastline

and the hustle and bustle of the city, she felt a growing urge to leave for abroad. However, the thought of her parents and her grandparents stopped her from considering the idea. After years of having things her way, it was time she made decisions with her parents' wellbeing in mind. Taking over the Caldwell Group or learning design, as per Julia's recommendation, were both great choices.

In reality, her original plan to live abroad was nothing more than an excuse to run away from her problems. Leaning on the railing and staring at the calm surface of the ocean, she was surprised to find herself free from fear. The calmness of the ocean had a soothing effect on her soul.
