She's out of Your League Now (Millie and Winston)

League 458



Millie cast a wary look at Joanna.

Joanna raised

a brow in amusement, saying, "I won't hurt you. We're at a party with people all around us Millie shrugged. She wasn't exactly afraid of her anyway.

They took their seats at the same time. Not far away, Jake was drinking and enjoying the ocean view while stealing

occasional glances at the two women.

Joanna sat across from Millie with her arms crossed, looking just like a young lady who

grew up in wealth. On the contrary, Millie casually lounged on her chair, looking elegant and at ease.

Millie's evening dress was way more graceful than Joanna's. On top of that, she was blessed with great looks. Sitting beside Millie only highlighted Joa she was no match for her.

However, that was the least of Joanna's concerns that night. After a short silence, she began, "Let's start with Winston's abduction."

Millie was caught off guard for a moment, as she had never openly discussed that incident with Joanna over the years.

Smiling, Joanna asked her, "Have you not told Winston that it was you who saved him, after all these years?"

Millie narrowed her eyes. Joanna knew about the truth because they were good friends back then. After Millie regained consciousness, she told Joann

At that time, Joanna looked shocked and praised Millie for her courage and willingness to risk everything for Winston. She claimed she wouldn't have Faced with the same life-and-death situation, Joanna would not risk

her life to save Winston. She only cared for Winston due to his good looks, social status, and worth.

She coveted Winston because he used to be Millie's man.

"I haven't," Millie replied calmly. She then turned her attention to the ocean.

Joanna's eyes traveled in the same direction. "Are you still scared of the ocean?"

"No," replied Millie unemotionally.

Joanna merely smirked. There was no way that Millie had recovered from her fear of the ocean. Reading Millie like a book, she remarked, "You don't have to act tough around me"

Millie looked at Joanna with an increasingly steely gaze.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Why didn't you tell him the truth, Millie?" Joanna glanced at her from the corner of her eye, sounding like she was probing around.

Millie chuckled. "Do we really need to bring up love all the time if we truly love someone? Do I need to constantly remind him that I saved his life?"

Joanna shook her head. "But Millie, Winston has no idea that it was you who saved him."

"Am I supposed to keep him by my side with that knowledge?" Millie questioned.

Joanna fell silent. Soon, she said aloud, "Does it even matter if he doesn't love you, as long as he stays by your side?"

"You're describing yourself right now, aren't you?" Millie smiled.

The two quickly engaged in a hostile battle of words.

Joanna clenched her right fist. Millie was right. She was talking about

herself. It didn't matter if Winston loved her or not; all that mattered was that she laid claims on him.

"Joanna, your relationship is futile. You'll only end up with nothing, just like me." Millie put aside her glass of drink and attempted to advise Joanna in good faith. "Winston isn't like other men. He only cares about himself."

"Do you think Win is a cold-hearted man?" Joanna chuckled.

Millie lifted her gaze. Wasn't he?

Joanna bit her lips and said in a heavy tone, "He catches feelings for others too."

"Do you think he has feelings for you? Or me? Who do you think that'd be?" Millie asked sarcastically with a grin, doubting Joanna.
