Millicent's impressive cooking skills and dedication won over heart, madam Emily had taken a bold step.

mam Emily rushed into the mansion, her heels clicking on the marble floor. She dropped her purse and keys on the side table, exhaustion etched on her face.

"Good day mam," milicent said, concern in her voice.

"Long day?"

Emiliy nodded, sinking onto the couch beside her. "Unexpected surgeries kept piling up. I barely made it home and see my kids"

even though there are all grown up.

but I will won't worry more because you're here to get this fixed Right?

milicent nodded in affirmation.

okay; I'm a theatre nurse, and my schedule is unpredictable. I'll dash home whenever i could, to see Amy and Ray .

Emiliy smiled wearily umm"Millicent dear, I've been thinking.

You're an incredibly talented young Teen and I believe you deserve an education that matches your potential."

Millicent's eyes widened in surprise as madam Emily continued, "I'd like to register you at Amy and Ray's school. It's one of the best private schools in the country, and I think it would be an excellent opportunity for you."

Millicent's jaw dropped. "Me? Attend school with Ray and Amy?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Emily nodded. "Why not? You're a part of this family now, and I want to invest in your future. Besides, I think it would be good for Amy to have you there. She had said so much on how you treat her unlike the other workers.

Millicent's mind reeled as she tried to process the enormity of Emelia's offer. Attend high School with Ray and Amy? It seemed like a dream come true, but also Tensing .

"What about master Ray?" Millicent asked, her brow furrowed with concern. "He's not exactly...friendly."

Mom Replied,

Ray's expression turned stern. "Don't worry about Ray dear. I'll take care of him. You just focus on your studies and making the most of this opportunity."

Millicent's heart swelled with gratitude as she nodded, tears of joy welling up in her eyes. She knew that this was a chance of a lifetime, and she was determined to make the most of it.

Thanks lady Emilia..

**************************************

Monday it is,Millicent woke up early on her first day of school, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. She had spent hours preparing for this moment, laying out her uniform, packing her backpack, and rehearsing her introduction.

Made it with her chores,

And waited for lady Emilia

As she arrived at the school, Millicent was struck by its grandeur. The building was a beautiful, sprawling mansion with manicured lawns and sparkling fountains.

Emily who had driven Millicent to school, gave her a reassuring smile. "You'll do great, dear. Just be yourself and make lots of new friends."

Thank you Mam , you are a God sent .

Millicent took a deep breath, grabbed her backpack, and stepped out of the car. She followed the signs to the registration office, where she was greeted by a friendly administrator.

"Hi there! Welcome to apex Academy . I'm Mrs. Thompson, the registrar. Please, come on in."

Millicent smiled and introduced herself, trying to hide her nervousness. Mrs. Thompson led her through the registration process, explaining the school's rules and policies.

As they finished up, Mrs. Thompson handed Millicent a schedule and a map of the school. "Here you go, dear. Your first class is English Literature. You'll be in class 12A."

Millicent's eyes widened as she scanned the schedule. She was in the same class as Ray.

Millicent felt a shiver run down her spine leaving her feeling more nervous than ever.

Ray's eyes widened in surprise as he walked into his English Literature class and saw a familiar face - Millicent. He had no idea she was going to be attending his school, and his mom hadn't mentioned anything about it.

MILLICENT on the other hand, looked like she was trying to blend in. She was dressed in the school uniform, her hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, and her eyes fixed on the teacher.

Ray felt a pang of annoyance. What was MILLICENT doing here? This was his domain, and he didn't want her invading his space.

He walked over to his usual seat, trying to ignore her presence. But he could feel her eyes on him, and he knew he couldn't avoid her forever.

As the teacher began to take roll call, Ray's eyes met that of milicent and for a moment, they just stared at each other. She looked nervous, but also determined, and Ray couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking.

The teacher's voice broke the spell, and milicent looked away, trying to focus on the lesson. But she couldn't shake off the feeling that Ray's presence was going to disrupt her carefully constructed world.

In school having trying to avoid the saga at home .

and soon school hours were over!!

As soon as Ray walked into the house, he headed straight for the phone and dialed his mom's number. He was still fuming about milicent being at his school, and he couldn't wait to ask his mom about it.

"Mom, what's going on?" Ray demanded, as soon as his mom answered the phone. "Why is milicent at my school?"

His mom's calm voice was a stark contrast to Ray's agitated tone. "Hello, sweetie. I was going to talk to you about that. You know how Amy's been wanting to help Ray adjust to our lifestyle?"

His mom continued, "Well, Amy thought it would be a great idea for your chef to attend your school.

"Amy's idea? You're telling me that Amy decided to invite milicent to my school without even asking me?"

His mom's voice remained calm and soothing. "Ray, honey, I know this may come as a shock to you, but I think it's a great opportunity for milicent to learn and grow. And who knows, you mightget to be friends with her

"I highly doubt that," he muttered, before turning off his phone.
