“Im commemorating my birthday tonight, and I've planned an intimate
celebration. I'd be delighted if you could grace us with your presence. Would that
be possible?”
Marcus frowned, leafing through another page of the document.
“[ have prior commitments tonight. I'll ask Derek to send you a gift.”
But that wasn't what she wanted. Rhea'’s fists clenched in frustration.
“Could you spare some time? Just a little while at the party. I don't have any
family here. You once told me you'd treat me as your sister since you didn’t have
one. But now, you can’t even spare a moment for my birthday celebration. I'm
aware that my recent actions have disappointed you. Celeste has chastised me,
and I assure you I won't repeat such mistakes. Could you offer me a second
chance?”
After a heavy silence, Rhea squeezed out a tear, trying her best to appear
pitiable.
Annoyed, Marcus finally conceded.
“Address, time.”
By noon, a call from Millie had found its way to Marcus’ phone.
As he registered the caller ID, his heart rate quickened. Unconsciously, his
fingers traced his lips, recalling Millie's sweet taste.
After a moment's consideration, she decided the meal she had treated Marcus to
earlier had been rather modest.
The bill had barely scraped three dollars.
Perhaps, she thought a more substantial meal wouldn't go amiss.
With most of the office taking a siesta, the restaurant was enveloped in a serene
quiet. Millie picked a table near the window, the sunbeams filtering through the
curtains.
Patiently, she waited as Marcus deliberated over answering the call. As soon as
he did, she eagerly broke the silence.
“Do you have some time tonight? I'd like to make it up to you for the rather basic
meal earlier. Can I treat you to dinner?”
