Chapter 384


    Chapter: 384


    Astonished, Millie halted at the door, her brow furrowing in confusion and surprise.


    Upon hearing themotion, Marcus tumed his attention towards the door. Millie’s expression conveyed her apparent


    misunderstanding of the situation.


    Growing impatient with the situation, Marcus was about to push Nancy away, but before he could act, she took the initiative to


    get up and left with the file, leaving the room on her own ord.


    “I''m leaving, Mr. Thomas. I''ll study these materials carefully.” Turning on her heels, Nancy walked out of the room, casting a look


    of disdain and self-satisfaction towards Millie as she passed by.


    A minute passed, yet the atmosphere in the presidential suite remained tense.


    Millie furrowed her brow and fixed her gaze on Marcus. Despite his conviction that it was a misunderstanding, he couldn’t help


    but feel a touch of nervousness.


    Refusing to yield to the need for an exnation, Marcus responded with a touch of irritation in his voice.


    “Didn''t | tell you toe back early?” he asked, his frustration evident in his tone.


    “What time is it now?”


    Hearing his question, Millie looked up, her eyes reflecting anger as she retorted, “Why would |e back early? To witness you


    two making out?” Millie responded, her toneced with sarcasm and frustration.


    Millie didn’t anticipate such tant behavior with the door open. She couldn’t help but wonder if Marcus had really been


    disciplined or if he had simply never encountered the right person until now.


    Millie couldn’t help but wonder if Marcus had developed an affinity for women like


    Nancy.


    Based on Millie’s tone, Marcus was certain that she had misunderstood the situation. To convey his desire to silence any further


    discussion, he removed his hand from his trouser pocket and gently ced it on her lips, indicating that he didn’t wish to


    borate further.


    “What you witnessed may not be the whole truth. Don’t overthink it,” Marcus reassured her.


    Millie froze at the threshold, immobilized by uncertainty.


    “step inside first. If there’s something weighing on your mind, let''s talk about it inside,” Marcus urged, his voice a hushed rumble


    and his eyes flicking towards the entranceway.


    The door hung ajar, and the asional passerby would steal a curious nce into the room.


    Millie’s eyes darted to two figures approaching, and after a moment of reflection, she decided to guard her anonymity. Her


    response was cool and detached: “Very well.”


    As soon as Millie crossed the threshold, Marcus moved with purpose, closing the door and pinning her to the wall, his piercing


    gaze locked onto her. He solemnly said, “You misunderstand the situation. Had there been any secret liaison, would | leave the


    door so invitingly open?”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Millie’s eyes blinked, betraying her surprise. Was he really trying to rify things?


    His exnation resonated with a ring of truth, yet she had witnessed the scene herself—Nancy copsing into his embrace.
