When Marcus reached Millie's hospital room, he found her looking despondent.
“Why do you look so down?"
Marcus settled himself on the edge of the bed, taking Millie's hand that was free
from the infusion.
Pressing her lips together, Millie met Marcus’ gaze, a trace of sadness flickering
in her eyes.

“I was watching television earlier. D.S Jewelry had a press conference to unveil
their new products, but those products are the Swan series I created for Miss
Fairclough. They released the jewelry first, rendering my design drafts nothing
but useless scraps of paper.”
Marcus’ face registered shock at the revelation.
He understood the relentless effort Millie poured into her designs.
For a quality piece, she would forsake sleep, food, and drink.
“But how did they get their hands on your work?” Marcus asked, utterly baffled.
Since the designs were with Millie, how could they have been obtained?
Millie dropped her gaze for a moment, then lifted her head and drew a deep
breath.
“If I tell you what happened, you must promise not to be angry and to trust me.
Can you do that?”
Seeing the apprehensive expression on Millie's face, Marcus was momentarily
stunned but then gave a reassuring nod.
“Go ahead.”
“I once encountered the owner of D.S Jewelry. He dragged me into this pitch-
black room, and I was terrified. I had my designs with me at the time. He acted
very strangely, sitting silently and not letting me leave. Eventually, someone
seemed to be looking for him, so he let me go. When I got out, I discovered my
design drafts were missing. I was too frightened to go back and retrieve them.”
Marcus’ face tightened, his mind racing with unsavory thoughts. No man would
be at ease with his wife being pulled into a secluded room by another man.
It could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Observing Marcus’ reaction, Millie grew more anxious, realizing her promise not
to get angry was failing.
“Honey? You have to believe me. I swear I did nothing to betray you in that room,
or may lightning strike me.”
