Derek looked over his shoulder to ensure Marcus was out of earshot. He could
tell Marcus was genuinely upset this time.
There seemed to be something Marcus felt for Millie, yet she gave him nothing in
return.
With a determined look, Derek turned his attention to Millie. “Madame, are you
enjoying your porridge?” he asked.
Millie paused for a moment. Did Derek want some too?
“It's good. Would you like a bowl? I can get you one,” she said.
She remembered Derek helping her out once. It felt right to return the favor and
get him some porridge.
“No, it's not that. I have something to tell you, Madame.”
Upon seeing the earnest expression on Derek's face, Millie was taken aback.
“Go ahead, Derek.”
“The truth is, I didn’t see Rhea throw that rock at you,” he stated.
The revelation took Millie by surprise.
“Why did you say it then? Did you help me because you thought I'm a good
person?” she asked.
“It was Mr. Thomas who told me to say it. He must've seen something. If you
want to express gratitude, he’s the one you should be thanking,” said Derek.
Millie's lips twitched. Back then, Marcus was so livid, he could've strangled her.
How would he have known?

doing, did he know something?
“Please don’t let Mr. Thomas know I told you,” Derek added.
