Gemma affirmed with a nod. “Yes.” Although this revelation left Millie puzzled, she was already running late and hurried off to the Skyline Restaurant.
Behind her, Celeste watched Millie with growing impatience. She was becoming increasingly aware of her son’s concern for Millie.
Yet Celeste could not bring herself to warm up to Millie.
Had it not been for Rhea instigating the incident last night, she wouldn't have been so lenient this time. At the Skyline Restaurant parking lot, Marcus exited his vehicle. Coincidentally,
Leon also stepped out of a sleek black car nearby.
Their gazes locked.
Leon approached with a smile, but beneath it hid an element of ruthless determination.
“I've been sent here by grandmother to learn from the renowned businessman of our family.”
Marcus, quick to react, shot Leon a glance before proceeding into the hall, lined with well-mannered staff.
Among them, a woman in a business suit looked taken aback by the formidable man, retreating subtly. It was none other than Millie.
She was astounded. What were the odds of encountering Marcus here at her workplace? If he recognized her, he’d see it as a dent in his noble stature.
Subduing her gaze, Millie took a step back, only to be reprimanded by a nearby colleague. “Stick to the rules! Stand your ground; don’t move.”
Left with no choice, Millie bowed her head and prayed to go unnoticed as Marcus passed by.
A pair of polished black shoes trod past her. Breathing a sigh of relief, Millie soon realized she had celebrated prematurely. “Cousin-in-law?” Leon greeted her with a smirk. Millie looked up to find Leon’s handsome face staring back at her.
Millie was annoyed. Whenever she wished to converse with Leon, he kept quiet, but whenever she preferred silence, he chose to speak. It was clear he was trying to provoke her.
Somewhat flustered, Millie retorted, “I’m sorry, sir; you must have mistaken me for someone else.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
