Suddenly, the door burst open, and a young woman rushed in.
Harlan’s face darkened, anger replacing concern.
“Who allowed you in here? Leave! No one is permitted here without my consent!”
he barked, emphasizing the need to keep Marcus’ condition confidential.
The young woman's fear was evident, but to everyone's surprise, she
approached Harlan and took hold of his arm.
“Then come out with me. I miss you so much,” she pleaded, trying to pull Harlan
from the room.
Harlan was tall and solidly built. She strained to pull him away, exerting all her
strength, but her efforts were in vain.
With ease, Harlan withdrew his hand and fixed a steady gaze on her.
“What's wrong with you? Why must you persist in this folly?" he snapped.
Harlan had never met such a tenacious and daring woman. If a man had
behaved in such a manner, he would have physically ejected him from the
premises.
The woman's fear was overshadowed by her determination as she met Harlan’s
gaze defiantly.
“I've told you that my name is Mavis. Don't forget it,” she declared, a flash of
disappointment in her eyes as she rushed out of the room.
Marcus’ eyes followed her exit before turning to Harlan, his curiosity piqued.
With a sigh, Harlan closed the door and walked back, his brow furrowed.

“A few days ago, I nearly collided with her while driving. I took her to the hospital
to ensure she was unhurt. Though she wasn't injured, she insisted that I had hit
her and that I should be held responsible. In truth, I stopped the car in time, and it
never touched her. She was only frightened. Now she won't leave me alone.”
A smile played at Marcus’ lips. Never before had he seen a woman act so boldly
around Harlan.
The doctor joined in the laughter. It was common knowledge that Harlan's
demeanor was intimidating; no woman dared to challenge him.
Meanwhile, outside the villa, Millie stepped out of her car and approached the
grand iron gate, her forehead creased in thought.
