“No. My calf just feels sore from standing for long,” she answered without even
looking at him, her lips stubbornly pressed together.
Those girls didn't like her from the get-go, and their mean words honestly wore
her down. She felt like she was alone fighting against them. It was okay at first,
but now her husband had given them more incentives to keep saying absurdities.
“May I have my phone now?” she asked coldly.
Marcus nodded. Sensing her growing anger, he began to doubt his reaction a
little.
He was also angry that she was in touch with Leon, but he couldn't talk about it
now.
She walked around Marcus, grabbed her phone from the table and went to the
door.
After she opened the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back, staring hard
at Marcus and the complicated emotions in his eyes.
Millie felt like she was rooted to the spot as she recalled exactly how the scene in
class went down.
Now that she thought about it, Marcus only made her stand after he saw the
message on her phone.
What made him react that way was the person she was talking with and not even
the fact that she was using her phone.
She knew that he and Leon were what she could call nemesis. His anger could
be understood. She contacted one of the highest people he didn't like right under
his nose.
Millie closed the door and walked back to him. She suddenly wrapped her arms
around his waist and looked up at him.

“He wanted a design sketch from me and I decided to give it to him since he
saved my grandma. That's the only reason he’s texting me,” she explained and
rested her head on Marcus’ shoulder. He was stiff and cold at first. Even when
she hugged him tight, he was still cold.
Although she understood his anger, Millie was a little confused. Why would
Marcus have such a drastic reaction just because of a message from Leon?
Marcus was pleasantly stunned by her action. This meant she could tell he was
not happy and wanted to please him.
After a moment, he melted and hugged her back tightly before releasing her.
