Millie's response was almost instinctive.
“Didn’t you summon me?”
“When did I...?"
Marcus’ voice trailed off, urgency replacing confusion. He lunged, his hands
seizing the porcelain fragments from Millie's grasp.
“Millie, you've shattered the precious porcelain!”
His voice had a winter chill.
Millie's heart stopped.
“Precious porcelain?” she echoed, her mind a whirlpool of confusion.
Which porcelain?
It took a mere heartbeat—two seconds of suspended time—for Millie to regain
herself, shaking her head with conviction.
“I didn’t break it. You've misunderstood.” Her voice was a plea, a truth yet to be
recognized.
While she didn’t know the true value of the porcelain, Millie knew full well the fury
simmering in Marcus’ eyes. She raced to deny any wrongdoing.
“If you're not the perpetrator, then who is? Why would these shards lie
treacherously at my feet? And who beckoned me to this study?”
Thoughts clamored in her head, threatening to burst forth.
The memory of Mae's hurried summons played back, and a realization washed
over Millie: she'd been set up.
“This porcelain, an artifact from antiquity, holds more than just age within its
delicate form. It bears the fingerprints of my great grandfather's legacy. It's a
treasure not for its years, but for the stories it carries. How could you shatter
something so precious?”
Evident in Marcus’ intonation was a profound sorrow, a melancholy that ran deep
within him.
