Chapter 1144
Her inquiry was met with an air of surprise from Mr. Maloney.
The young woman standing before him was undeniably striking, boasting flawless skin, delicate features, and lustrous hair. Yet, as Mr. Maloney examined her more closely, he realized that she was none other than the wife of the Thomas Group’s president. She appeared so youthful that he hadn’t initially recognized her.
With a courteous nod, Mr. Maloney replied, “Precisely. Lately, my mother has been urging me to find a girlfriend and settle down.”
Emerie, quick to seize an opportunity, spoke up, her voice carrying a hopeful tone.
“Mr. Maloney, I’ve actually taken cooking lessons. If you’re interested, I could come over and prepare a meal for you.”
Millie, on the other hand, wore a knowing smile.
“Mr. Maloney, I happen to have a single friend. Would you be interested in seeing her photos?”
“Well, I certainly wouldn’t want to miss out on such a promising opportunity,” Mr. Maloney responded with keen interest. Millie’s captivating appearance led him to believe that her friend must also possess considerable charm.
With that, Millie retrieved a photograph of Grace from her album and presented it to Mr. Maloney, offering a brief introduction.
“This is my friend. She’s 24 years old, stands at 5 feet 4 inches, and weighs 113 pounds. She has never been in a relationship before.”
Millie silently apologized to Grace in her mind, hoping that she would understand and forgive her.
Meanwhile, Grace, who was currently occupied with serving dishes at Skyline, felt a pulsing headache.
The photo of Grace, while not as strikingly beautiful as Millie, showcased a significantly younger appearance. In comparison to Emerie, Grace seemed to have the upper hand. Furthermore, her lack of a romantic history worked in her favor. Mr. Maloney was evidently charmed by the simplicity of Grace’s background. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Extracting a business card from his pocket, Mr. Maloney maintained a noticeable distance from Emerie.
“Miss Brown, here’s my business card. Please ask your friend to get in touch with me. I’d like to invite her for dinner.”

Millie accepted the business card, saying, “Certainly.”
Emerie seethed with anger. Millie’s deliberate actions had thwarted her plans.
As the elevator doors opened and the trio exited, Mr. Maloney suddenly tapped his forehead.
“I’ve left my phone in the financial office. I need to head back upstairs to retrieve it.”
He swiftly reentered the elevator.
Just as Millie was preparing to leave for home, Emerie intercepted her with an accusatory tone.
“Millie, how dare you sabotage my plan?”
Millie responded with a tinge of bitterness, “Emerie, why are you doubting yourself so much? I merely introduced a friend to Mr. Maloney. It doesn’t guarantee he’ll choose her.”
“Who asked you to introduce someone to him?”
