Chapter 640:
She picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. It was actually good.
“This is delicious,” Millie said with genuine appreciation.
“Glad to hear it,” Myron replied, a faint chuckle in his voice.
Not wanting to disturb him while he worked, she mentioned she might take a walk around the building.
Without looking up, he nodded in approval.
The moment she stepped outside, Mack caught sight of her.
“Miss Bennett, would you like me to join you for a tour?”
She shook her head lightly, waving him off to show she was just wandering.
“In that case, I have something for you,” Mack said, handing her a leash. Millie’s eyes dropped to it and quickly traced the other end—where a plump orange tabby cat sat patiently.
“Mr. Elliott said you’re fond of cats. This is Orange, our company’s lucky mascot. It’s friendly and likes to roam around. Let it give you a tour,” Mack added.
Curious, Millie crouched down and gently scratched under the cat’s chin.
“Meow!” The cat purred and rubbed its head against Millie’s hand.
The thought crossed her mind that Ari would probably adore this cat too. With a small nod, she accepted the basket of cat treats from Mack. “Alright, thanks.”
“Come on, Orange. Show me around,” she said to the cat with a faint smile.
“Meow!” it answered before munching on a freeze-dried treat from her palm, then flicked its tail and walked ahead as if it understood her perfectly.
As they moved through the building, some employees at the Elliott Group either didn’t recognize her, or greeted her with friendly smiles, occasionally bending down to pet the cat. Millie let the cat guide her as she wandered about.
The Elliott Group had a warmer, more welcoming atmosphere compared to the Watson Group, which focused heavily on efficiency.
Many areas in the Watson Group had a cold, purely businesslike interior. Here, each floor of the Elliott Group had its own personality—some leaned toward efficiency, while others felt playful and imaginative.

It was clear the style of each floor reflected the taste of its department head.
Jayceon and Adriana each had their own office and separate floors. Jayceon rarely came by, preferring to work elsewhere, but Adriana happened to be in that day and greeted Millie.
“Meow!” The cat proudly lifted its head as it led Millie to another floor.
Millie stepped out of the elevator and found the entire space filled with cat-themed merchandise.
“Orange!” someone called out when they spotted the cat, hurrying over to scoop it into their arms.
“Meow!” Orange purred in delight. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ.net
The person looked up at Millie with a smile. “Miss Bennett.”
Millie gave a polite nod, curiosity sparking. “What is this place?”
“This little one inspired an entire jewelry collection,” the person responded, holding Orange securely. “Come with me, Miss Bennett.”
As they walked together, the person continued, “This is Orange’s Eye, an emerald.”
Her gaze landed on the piece, and the resemblance to the cat was unmistakable.
