Becoming conscious of his lingering gaze, Marcus averted his eyes.
“Request your manager for a longer uniform once you return to the restaurant. This one is too short.” Millie was taken aback.
This dress was by no means short. All the uniforms were identical; they barely grazed her knees.
“This is the standard uniform. They’re all the same.”
“Just make the request,” the man stated with unwavering confidence.
Shaking her head, Millie headed towards the restaurant.
Oddly enough, upon returning to the restaurant, the manager promptly presented her with a longer dress. Exhausted after a day’s work, Millie was plagued with fatigue. Her legs ached from being in heels all day.
Once back at the villa, Millie longed to retreat to her room for some rest. However, as she entered, she saw Celeste stationed in the living room with two servants standing before her.
“I've compensated you with an extra month’s wages. You can leave tomorrow.” “Yes, madam.”

“Come here.”
Approaching Celeste with a puzzled expression, Millie listened as she spoke.
“As you just witnessed, I’ve let two servants go. But their tasks still need to be attended to. Since you seem to have ample free time, why don't you take over their duties?”
Free time? Millie’s eyes narrowed as it dawned on her that Celeste was treating her as a servant.
Nonchalantly adjusting her expensive shawl, Celeste gave Millie a fleeting glance.
“Of course, | don’t consider you a servant. Once you're done tidying the house, you're free to indulge in your own activities. But you have to fulfill these household duties.”
Millie furrowed her brow. “I don’t exactly have leisure time on my hands. | have my own matters to attend to.”
“| don’t concern myself with whether you have free time or not, but the Thomas family doesn’t entertain freeloaders. You were correct last night; you don’t depend on the Thomas family’s money, but you are residing here. We dine on exquisite meals every day; hence, you must undertake these domestic chores daily to balance out your living expenses.”
