Chapter 278
Bruce couldn't resist expressing himself, his vocal tone laced with a touch of resentment.
“Millie, how could you bear to let him indulge alone? We all wish to partake as well.”
Millie found herself momentarily flabbergasted. She had heard only Mylo wished to taste the drink. “Do you want a taste too? Alright.”
If anyone showed interest in her concoctions, it stirred up a sense of accomplishment in her. She promptly placed two drinks before Bruce and Delmor.
Having dispensed two drinks, she had only the final one remained on the tray. Millie glanced at Marcus. He had a drink placed by Fanny in front of him, untouched. Perhaps such trivial things didn’t catch his interest.
Curiosity swept over the room as everyone wondered what Marcus was thinking. He had requested Millie’s coming, yet upon her arrival, he remained silent.
As all eyes rested on him, Marcus tapped the table, locking his gaze on Millie.
“Get me a drink too.”
His eyes sparkled with an intensity that made her heart race and filled her with a sense of unease.
Evading his gaze, Millie moved closer, placed the last drink before him, and looked around.
“| hope for your feedback after tasting it. 1 can make adjustments if necessary.”
Holding the edge of the tray, Millie was now intrigued. How would these men perceive her concoction?
Mylo was the first to taste it. However, noticing Marcus was about to do the same, he chose to remain silent. Observing that everyone was silent post-drinking, their eyes on Marcus, Millie, who was initially relaxed, began to feel the nerves.
The palpable tension in the room unsettled Millie. She lifted her head as if to bolster her confidence.
“The customers outside found it delectable.”
Marcus took a sip and looked at her. “Really? Why do | detect a peculiar aroma?”
His words were light, but they plunged Millie’s hopeful world into darkness.
Yet Millie held onto the confidence she had in her drinks, a confidence fuelled by her customers’ positive feedback. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
