Chapter: 28
Marcus leaned in to see what she was up to and caught sight of a sketch of a magnolia flower. He raised a brow. He did not know the woman could draw.
Millie was absorbed in her sketching to the point where she failed to see Marcus approaching, His eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at her enticing earlobes.
Millie set her pen down, grabbed her phone, and opened a search engine. When Marcus saw her search history, his mouth curled into a small smile. The website’s search history revealed the following:
“How long can a person survive by only drinking water?”
“How long does it take to starve to death?”
“will sleeping on the sofa every day cause back pain?”
When Millie turned her head and saw someone standing next to her, she almost jumped out of her skin. Upon recognizing the tall figure as that of Marcus, she quickly exited the website. She could not let him see what she had been searching for online.
“When... when did you come in?” Millie stammered. “Well, [had no idea you could also design. | thought...”
Marcus trailed off as he stared at Millie’s delicate hand. His smile faded as he recalled the look of surprise and utter disgust on her face.
Millie looked up at him with narrowed eyes. She would have been surprised had he offered anything less than a hurtful remark. “I'm listening. What did you think?” Millie urged him.
“| thought you only knew how to apply hand cream to your hands!”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Millie expected a retort like that one, but it still made her speechless.
Marcus ignored the look on her face and walked towards the bed. Millie followed after him immediately, saying to his back, “I'll sleep on the bed tonight, while you sleep on the sofa. Tomorrow you take the bed, and so on.”
Before Marcus could answer, his phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, he answered immediately.
A few seconds into the call and his face hardened.
“Stay there, I’m coming over,” he said into the phone, hung up and rushed out without saying a word. Not long after, the sound of the engine starting filled the compound.
Millie stayed put for a moment, thinking of the name she saw on the caller ID before Marcus took the phone to his ear... Rhea.
By the time she jerked out of her thoughts and ran to the balcony, all she could see was the beam of his taillights.
