“The housekeeper informed me that you reassigned the top-notch bodyguards from the villa to watch over your grandmother at the hospital. | can command their immediate return with a simple phone call,” Marcus responded.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Upon hearing his audacious threat, Millie clenched her teeth and internally railed at his lack of decency. But she couldn’t risk having the bodyguards abandon their post at the hospital. She would placate him today, but tomorrow she would hire additional security personnel to safeguard her grandmother, eliminating his leverage.
Sure enough, Millie halted in her tracks. “Are you not weary of standing? Come, sit here,” Marcus commanded.
Millie cast a sideways glance at the solitary bench nearby. “I’m not tired. The bench doesn’t have enough room for two. Anything else you want to discuss?”
Marcus’ eyebrow arched. “Are you implying that, instead of sharing the bench with me, you'd prefer to sit on my lap?” Marcus, with his piercing gaze and alluring voice, held an undeniable charm.
Millie’s gaze fell onto his long legs, neatly clad in high-end black trousers and polished shoes. His elegance was spellbinding, making Millie enthralled.
She met his eyes again, noticing his interest in her bare legs. The air between them crackled with unspoken desire.
“What's that you’re holding? A snack?” Marcus asked, the enchantment of his voice intact, while tapping his foot rhythmically. “This?” Millie lifted the small bag she held.
“They're wild blueberries.”
“Were they handpicked by you?” His interest piqued.
“yes, they might be small, but they’re bursting with sweet juice, thanks to all the sun they soaked up.”
Marcus’ gaze traveled towards the hotel entrance, where Patrick stood, now in a fresh set of clothes. He caught Patrick stealing glances at Millie every now and then.
Asardonic smile crept up on Marcus’ face. Patrick must have lent a hand in the fruit picking, he mused.
“Sweeter, huh? Let me have a taste.” “Try it.”
Marcus took the bag, his eyes examining its contents. Then, he rose from the bench, leaving Millie to think he’d walk away with her entire stash of berries. However, what happened next was beyond belief.
Marcus headed towards the trash bin and with a flick of his wrist, he tossed all the berries into it. “Millie, I’m not done here.” Marcus departed with a frosty tone.
“Wait! What on earth are you doing? It doesn’t matter if you didn’t want them. Why toss them away? You've really crossed a line.” Millie rushed over to the trash bin, anger furrowing her brows.
