As the manager approached the exit, he closed the door behind him with
consideration. Millie, on the verge of desperation, longed to escape the room as
quickly as possible.
“Wait, manager.”
But the manager, not wanting to be involved in her predicament, left swiftly.
Millie squirmed in her seat. Despite her failure to escape, she attempted to
distance herself from Marcus.
She raised her gaze, only to be met with the bright overhead lights. She was
dazed and sighed. Their thoughts were complicated.
The memory of her sharing a drink with Marcus resurfaced. She realized that
they had sipped from the same glass.
Marcus’ frown deepened as he spoke.
“you accuse me of taking advantage of my wife. Did I wrong you in a past life?”
What was he implying? Millie shot a glare at Marcus, a heavy feeling settling in
her chest.
She wondered if she was paying for a debt from a previous life, marrying him by
mistake, and enduring his family’s chastisement.
Their gazes met and lingered, creating a strange tension in the air.
Bruce intervened, “Millie, do you plan on continuing your work here? You must
preserve my cousin's reputation. This place caters to a high-end clientele. If you
served drinks to customers, if reported in the media, he would be accused of
abusing his wife. Even the wages of a servant in the Thomas family exceed
yours.”
Millie felt a pang of guilt at Bruce’s words.
“L will be discreet. I won't get caught.”
Marcus responded by placing a fresh set of utensils in front of Millie and tersely
instructing, “Eat.”
With guilt triggered by Bruce's comments, Millie nodded in compliance. “Alright.”
