It was funny because Rhea was always in high heels like this one. She could walk very fast in them


    and even run with them without any hassle.


    If she intentionally hurt herself, then she was really being hard on herself.


    Marcus frowned. He wasn’t happy with the situation. He looked up and met Millie’s gaze.


    Seeing the hesitation on his face, Millie snorted. How could he be so blind as to fall for such an obvious


    trick? Perhaps Marcus was an intelligent man, but that was only in business. He was clueless with


    everything else. How was it that an intelligent man couldn’t see through this little trick?


    “Take her to the hospital then. I’ll head back home. My neighbour has to give me some gifts,” Millie said


    casually.


    However, Marcus’ eyes darkened.


    “Neighbour? What neighbour?”


    “The one who wanted to take me to the hospital this morning,” Millie answered with a shrug and slipped


    out of the restaurant.


    Marcus looked at the door in panic. Then, he took out his phone and dialled a number, saying to Rhea,


    “Just sit and wait. I’ll ask Derek toe and get you.”


    “Marcus!” Rhea called out in panic.


    However, Marcus couldn’t hear her anymore. He was thinking about Millie.


    Didn’t she know that her neighbour liked her? How naive could she be to ept his gifts?? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    As the elevator doors were closing, Millie caught sight of Marcus rushing towards her. A cunning smile


    appeared on her face as the door closed in his face.


    At home, Millie was taking out some fruits from the fridge when Marcus barged in.


    He looked at Millie, then at the empty room. Earlier, when Millie walked out of the mall, she quickly


    hailed a taxi and ran off before Marcus caught up to her.


    Ignoring his curious eyes, she sat down on the sofa with her fruits in hand. Marcus straightened his


    shoulders and elegantly sat down on the sofa next to her. He was going to wait right there and see just


    how bold this neighbour was. Would the man dare toe here when her husband was around?


    It seemed that the warning he gave the man in the morning wasn’t enough. Perhaps he just wanted to


    die.


    After about one or two hours, Millie had finished reading a jewelry design book without any interruption.


    There was no knock at the door, and certainly no gifts.


    Marcus frowned, finally feeling like something was off. He tried recalling exactly what Millie said on the


    phone earlier.


    “Okay, thank you, Teresa.” Those were her words.


    That meant the call wasn’t from her neighbour like she had led him to believe.


    Marcus stood up and seized the magazine from Millie’s hand, throwing it down on the sofa.
