The line went dead. Clutching her phone, Millie regarded her half-eaten food with
a bitter mien.
Patrick inquired, “Who was that?”
Standing up, Millie replied hurriedly, “I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. Enjoy
your meal.”
Patrick also rose. “Allow me to accompany you. I've finished eating.”
Shaking her head, Millie declined, saying, “Thank you, but no need. Someone is
waiting for me. Please continue your meal.”
Hurrying out of the restaurant, Millie reached Marcus’ car, her fingers clenching
the door handle as she inquired, “Why are you here?”
“Get in.”
“Alright.” Sensing his simmering anger, Millie experienced a flutter of trepidation.

her.
Millie couldn't help but feel guilty, despite the lack of cause.
“He came for a medical checkup, and I'm here to visit my grandmother. It's just a
coincidence.”
“Must you dine with him?”
Atwinge of anxiety gripped Millie. “We're simply having a meal.”

escalated. He seized on a pretext to justify his anger.
