Chapter 1049:
Watching him perform this thoughtful act, Millie felt warmth spreading through her chest.
He always seemed to understand exactly what she needed without her having to explain. He never imposed his own preferences or desires simply because he cared for her. Instead, he offered quiet support and protection from the shadows, just like he was doing right now.
These small moments, these tender gestures—they filled her with a profound sense of happiness that was difficult to put into words.
Myron stood and poured her a glass of warm water. Millie accepted it with heartfelt gratitude, feeling another surge of warmth flow through her.
Millie studied Myron in his current relaxed appearance, and Taylor’s earlier comment suddenly made perfect sense to her.
A soft laugh escaped her lips.
“What’s amusing you?” Myron asked, genuine curiosity lighting up his expression.
“I just figured out why Taylor completely failed to recognize you earlier,” Millie explained.
Myron’s brow furrowed in confusion, waiting for her to elaborate.
“Just think about it for a moment. Usually, when people see you, you’re wearing expensive jewelry, your hair is styled to absolute perfection, and you project this image of a mature, dependable business executive. Nobody would ever connect that polished version of you with the casual guy with messy hair and a plain sweatshirt sitting in my office right now,” Millie said, gesturing toward his outfit with an amused smile.
Typically, he wore gemstone cufflinks that caught the light beautifully, elegant brooches pinned to custom-tailored suits, and designer shoes with their signature red soles that announced his status before he even spoke.
While Myron always maintained an air of refined sophistication, there was no denying he also carried himself with a certain flashiness.

Given that his entire career revolved around the gemstone industry, it was hardly surprising that he embraced that aesthetic.
Myron’s face broke into a warm smile. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek in an affectionate gesture.
Millie immediately swatted his hand away and shot him a playful look of mock annoyance.
The hours continued to slip past them.
After changing into more comfortable clothing and soft slippers that didn’t pinch her feet, Millie threw herself back into the mountain of work that still needed attention.
The entire office remained in constant motion. People rushed between desks, voices overlapping as they coordinated with overseas contacts.
Myron quietly found ways to make himself useful, and everyone poured their energy into solving the crisis together.
By the time the first light of dawn began painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, they had finally managed to resolve every issue.
The exhausted employees scattered throughout the company had collapsed to rest wherever they could find space.
The folding beds Myron had thoughtfully brought earlier were now proving their worth, with exhausted workers sprawled across them in various positions of complete surrender to sleep.
