Chapter 955

Marcus’ eyes smoldered with wrath. “I instructed you to disembark. Is your hearing impaired?”

Were she a man, he would have summarily ejected her from the car.

Kaya quivered, overtaken by fear.

“I, Mr. Thomas…”

“I’m disinclined to lay a hand on a woman, but that doesn’t mean I won’t.”

Marcus swung the door ajar without preamble.

Kaya yielded, disheartened; her teeth clamped in determined resolve as she alighted.

Twenty minutes ensued.

A screech of brakes punctuated the ambiance.

And then Millie disembarked from the vehicle.

Marcus’ composure finally relaxed upon sighting her.

A smile surfaced. Millie had indeed come to retrieve him.

Approaching with a glow etched upon her features, Millie stood alongside a disconsolate Kaya.

Witnessing Millie, Kaya’s distress compounded.

Millie cast an indifferent gaze toward Kaya. Kaya, in turn, drew her attire closer, shielding her frame.

Millie was now privy to the identity of the girl—-Kaya.

Turning away, Millie directed her emotionless gaze toward Marcus.

“Here you are.”

Marcus’ fists clenched, and he cleared his throat, a fleeting smile gracing his countenance.

Millie, vexed by what she perceived as his jest, declared, “I’m not here to collect you. I happened to be

on my way to visit Grandma at the hospital.”

Millie pivoted, on the cusp of boarding the car. Seriously?

But Marcus seized her, tugging Millie to his side.

“That’s enough; there’s nothing between me and her. If you’re skeptical, go ahead and verify.”

Verify?
