“Yes, he is dining here. I crossed paths with him in the restroom. Weren't you
aware of his presence?”
Asilent shake of her head was her response. Millie hadn't noticed his presence,
presuming he was sequestered in a private dining area while she managed the
main hall.
“I need to attend to other guests. Excuse me.” Sensing Patrick's probing interest
in her relationship with Marcus and the tenderness reflected in his gaze, Millie felt
an urgency to break off their conversation.
Bound by her marriage, it was important for her to maintain a certain distance.
“Wait. How is your relationship with him? You don't strike me as an ordinary
couple.”
Just as Millie prepared to leave, Patrick's words rang out, his clenched fist
betraying his internal struggle.
In his eyes, Millie was an exemplary woman, a bright moon in a starlit sky,
deserving of admiration, not degradation.
Even the renowned Marcus didn’t measure up in his estimation.
“You seem to be under a misconception. We are on good terms. I've not been
working here long; I'm just filling in for a friend who's traveling. Once she returns,
I'll revert to my role as a lady of leisure at home.” Millie attempted to keep her
tone light.
But Patrick suspected a facade. Marcus’ own admission of their relationship that
night at the orange orchard fueled his doubts.
He never considered them to be a pair. Was it even possible for such a distant
couple to exist anywhere?
“I observed him sharing an intimate moment with a woman as ] left the restroom.
He even draped his coat over her before escorting her to the parking lot.”
Patrick was hesitant, not wanting to cause Millie distress, yet he relayed what he
had seen.
Millie's brows drew together.
Marcus, ever the obsessive-compulsive, never let anyone touch his clothes. His
willingness to drape his coat over a woman suggested her significance to him.
As the thought wormed its way into her consciousness, a twinge of jealousy
flared within Millie.
“I do not wish to sow discord. I just want to shield you from potential harm.”
