Noticing Patrick's furrowed brow and unease, Millie shook her head, managing a
smile.
“No, we're friends. You haven't caused me any inconvenience.”
Patrick's countenance improved markedly upon witnessing her smile. However, it
became apparent that she'd relegated him to the friend zone.
“Indeed, we're friends. It's a joy to be in each other's company.”
He was a good man. If he harbored affection for someone, he wouldn't obstruct
their happiness.
As their dishes arrived, Patrick encouraged her, “Let's enjoy our meal.”
Amidst their meal, a black car pulled up near the restaurant, coming to a stop.
The window of the car rolled down, and Marcus’ gaze fell upon Millie, seated
within the restaurant.
As Millie partook in her meal, her phone interrupted the dining scene with a call
emanating from Marcus.
Perplexed by the sudden intrusion, she had no time to inquire before a stern
voice reverberated on the line.
“Where are you?”
The tone struck a disconcerting chord, immediately putting Millie on edge.
Subconsciously, she scanned her surroundings as if she could sense his gaze
piercing through her.
In a subdued tone, she replied, “We're having a meal outside.”
Unrelenting, he pressed on, “With whom?”
The atmosphere grew increasingly strained. Perturbed, Millie stammered, “A
friend.”
Though there was no real reason for her to feel so guilty, her anxiety surged.
In a heartbeat, Marcus issued another command. “Come out.”
