“I apologize. I was overly concerned about you. Please don’t hold it against me, alright?” Marcus locked


    his eyes onto hers, conveying his anxiety and his desire to protect her.


    Few could resist a handsome man with such deep and affectionate eyes.


    “It’s fine. I don’t me you,” she said.


    As she put on a smile, a low growling sound resonated from her.


    It was her stomach, indicating that she was famished.


    “You haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Marcus asked, staring at her belly with concern.


    “No, I haven’t.”


    Millie pouted, her disappointment palpable after her n’s failure.


    She felt disheartened andcked the appetite to eat, consumed by frustration.


    What a foolish girl! It was nearly two o’clock, and she hadn’t eaten lunch yet. Marcus held back from


    scolding her and yfully flicked her delicate nose.

    “Do you think I can prepare a meal for you right now?”


    A smile graced Millie’s lips.


    “I believe in you. My husband is the best.”


    Marcus was left momentarily speechless but basked in the satisfaction of Millie’s praise.


    He turned toward his office desk, retrieving a bag filled with food from the mahogany cab. Urging


    her to sit on the sofa, he instructed, “Start eating.”


    Millie studied him while scrunching her eyebrows.


    “Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten yet either?”


    Marcus handed her the utensils.


    “I’ve already had my meal. This was originally intended for you. When Trenton came to call you, you


    had already left.”


    Millie sighed in relief, noticing that the meal included her favorite braised pork.


    “This meat is incredible!” she eximed with glee.


    After dining in Marcus’ office, Millie rode the elevator back down to the design department.


    “Calcte the donation amount as soon as you can, Shera.”


    “No problem. I’ll get right to that,” said Shera.
