Chapter 839:
Brandon’s eyes lingered on Millie as she cradled the glass of water in her hands. He noticed how Myron had pushed her coffee aside and poured her water, and how she accepted without resistance, as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
All of it revealed just how close the two of them really were.
To anyone watching, it looked like this kind of behavior was simply woven into their everyday life.
Every detail pierced Brandon.
“If you refuse to talk about the Bennett family’s matters, then this conversation is over,” Millie said firmly.
“I’ll give it to you,” Brandon answered at last.
“Then tell me when and where,” she replied evenly, her voice void of any emotion.
His fists tightened, trembling as he held them still.
“The deal runs out in just a few days,” said Brandon.
Myron’s brows drew together as he fixed Brandon with a hard stare.
“We’ll stick to that agreement.” Brandon kept his gaze locked on Millie, refusing to acknowledge Myron. “If you win, the transfer goes through p>
He hesitated, and then added, “If you lose, the transfer still goes through p>
A sharp laugh escaped Myron. “Brandon, this is ridiculous. You know as well as I do that Millie has already won p>
Her concert had gone off without a hitch. The outcome was beyond doubt.
Still, Brandon gave him no response, his eyes fixed only on Millie.
The light spilled across her face, her lashes casting shadows that hid her thoughts.
At last, she raised her head and met his gaze.
“You better not back out,” she told him.
All that mattered to her was the final outcome, nothing more.

“I meant every word,” Brandon murmured, his eyes rimmed with red. “I give you my word—this is my commitment p>
“Good,” Millie replied evenly.
She turned to Myron, and then rose from her seat.
Myron immediately stood as well, ready to leave with her.
“Millie!” Brandon pushed himself to his feet despite the pain.
She lowered her eyes, refusing to look at him. “What is it p>
“Let Myron step out for a moment. I have something to say to you alone.” His voice carried a desperate plea.
“No way,” Myron cut in sharply. “Brandon, I know exactly what kind of man you are p>
The memory of what had happened in his apartment remained vivid. There was no chance Myron would leave Millie alone with Brandon.
Silence thickened in the room as Brandon’s lips pressed into a thin line.
Millie had just started to turn away when Brandon suddenly bowed his head. Ignoring Myron’s presence, he dropped to his knees before her, a clear plea for forgiveness.
