“No, no, no. I'm okay, Madam. I'll serve myself. You should serve... Madam,
why...
Why the sudden concern for me?”
Derek was too afraid to voice that she should serve Mr. Thomas.
But if he didn't clear the air today, he suspected he might be in deep trouble.
“I wanted to express my gratitude. Gemma informed me this morning that you
defended me in front of Mrs. Thomas, validating that Rhea was indeed the first to
throw a stone at me. Your observant nature is commendable. I thought no one
saw it and that I'd be blamed. Thankfully, you were present,” said Millie earnestly.
As soon as Millie ended her sentence, she noticed a subtle change in Marcus’
handsome face. His icy expression suggested she had misspoken.
Feeling uncomfortable, Millie touched her petite and elegant nose. She couldn't
have made a mistake; it was unthinkable.
Derek, understanding the situation better, was eager to clarify.
“Madam, to be frank, this credit isn’t mine at all; it's Mr. Thomas...”
“Eat your meal,” Marcus interrupted coldly.
Aknot formed in Derek's throat, leaving him uneasy. Silently, he thought, Madam,
I didn't actually see Rhea throw the stone at you. It was Marcus who told me to
say that. This chicken drumstick should go to him.
Millie dropped the drumstick she was devouring and stood up for Derek.
“Why did you cut him off? You're being overly controlling.”
Marcus clenched the fork in his strong hand, tapping the ceramic plate.
“Millie, don’t overstep your bounds and act recklessly.”
“Where have I crossed a line, and now you're restricting me from speaking?
You're harsh and intimidating here, but earlier in the private room, you were as
meek as a lamb. The man with the tattoo insulted me continually, and as my
supposed husband, you didn't utter a single word. You only put on a show in front
of people you know. All flash, no substance.”

Millie's anger flared up as she
thought about it. Marcus, despite his
tall and muscular build, simply sat
there and let her be insulted
relentlessly. She was fortunate not to
have fallen for his good looks blindly.
