Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1196

Therefore, she didn’t intend to face him head-on. Taking a baby sip, Lauren put her glass of cocktail down while bringing Millie's raised arm down.

"C’mon, don't drink so much in this kind of place! Do you know you have a neon sign above your head that says I'm a pap' with the way you're dressed? It'd be a miracle if you can get an exclusive headline!"

She even shoved Millie's bag further in as she pointed out. So carefree; just how careless could this girl get? Did she want to lose another camera and break the bank, paying for it, then cry buckets?

The present Millie was very much like her, dressed casually, probably even sloven to many people, but she was kindhearted, optimistic, and it was comfortable to be around her! That was where they differed, perhaps because she grew up in a loving family.

However, the world was cruel, not giving you a smooth sailing life just because you were any kinder or nicer. In the world of survival of the fittest, oppression was everywhere. Many of Millie's articles were stolen by her colleagues and higher-ups; it wasn't that she wasn't upset, or had she never protested, but it ended with her being forced to switch companies and start from the very bottom! Perhaps, there was no such thing as equity in this world!

Fortunately, she had a good mentality, getting back on her feet after a cry session. Life was like that sometimes; it'd push you forward whether you liked it or not.

The same could be said about her. Hadn't she also somehow got herself mixed with a man she shouldn't have and experienced an indescribably bitter and miserable ordeal?

And who would give her the explanation?

So, she had to seek justice herself!

"Lauren, I mean, Tevye, you're looking down on me..."

Millie pouted, feigning unhappiness but held up a fist in no time. "One day, I'll definitely get my exclusive and show those naysayers what I'm capable of!"

Freemasonry, Lauren held her hand.

"I know you will! But before that, my dear Millie, you're also a beauty; we need to make sure you can walk out here alive! Do you think you won't attract those big bad wolves by wearing this? It's getting late; let's go! As bad as you want your gossip, let's not do it here! A free meal isn't that easily obtainable!"

What kind of place was East Bannpool? People who could enter were either powerbrokers or so rich that they'd burn money to keep themselves warm. The only reason women could enjoy themselves for free here was to provide convenience for these people. It seemed to have become a standard for nightclubs. Noble or lowly, angelic or sl*tty, any woman can enter and leave as they please.

But, it was prohibited to take pictures here, even with a phone! Even if a paparazzi could just barely enter with their cameras, they might not even be able to leave with what they managed to snap! Or worse, they might be taught a lesson. Definitely not worth it!

Her hopes of getting an exclusive that night were very likely little to none!

If not, how come East Bannpool was still standing and kicking with so many children of the wealthy families visiting? All that that leaked were mostly, if not all, innocuous!

Lauren had long reminded her, yet she still wasn't convinced! But it was also impossible to get an exclusive if she didn't track down from the very beginning. Hence, she sometimes admired Millie's devotion to the job!

Chuckling, Millie hugged her. "I knew you were the best!"

Only she would care so much about her!

The two had met by an elevator by chance. Lauren had gone to take something from Elijah, and Millie was crying buckets as she was close to being fired for losing the company's camera, plus Lauren had bumped into her, accidentally breaking her phone. As the two started getting in touch, they unexpectedly ended up as good friends.

Half a year down the line, the only thing left they didn't do was call or see each other every day.
