Chapter 168

Chapter: 168

When Marcus looked down, he noticed that Millie’s arm was trembling slightly, indicating that she was barely keeping her rage in

check.

He knew that the woman was seconds away from pouncing on him in wrath.

Patrick glanced between them, wondering why the atmosphere between them was suddenly so tense. He approached Millie and

whispered, “So, your name is Millie.”

Millie broke from her glaring contest with Marcus to nod at Patrick. “Yes. Sorry, | was planning to introduce myself later.”

Patrick shook his head to dismiss her apology. “Don’t worry about it. Anyway, what's your relationship with Mr. Thomas?”

He was perceptive enough to figure out that their relationship was unlike that of boss and employee. He had never before

encountered an employee who was so disrespectful to their boss, and Marcus was not just an ordinary boss. He was the

esteemed president of the Thomas Group.

They did not seem to be siblings as well.

Patrick continued to rack his brain for an answer until Millie spoke up.

“T have nothing to do with him,” Millie spat.

Marcus was already angry at the sight of them standing so closely together, but her response made him much more enraged.

Patrick scratched the back of his head as he pondered how to calm the situation down.

“Mr. Thomas, Millie, like the new students in our academy, is actually very kind.

They're all fiercely competitive but genuinely gifted individuals. They'll mature well if they have a tolerant role model to look up

to.”

Patrick reevaluated the situation and concluded that Millie was more likely to be an employee of the Thomas Group.

They were probably not a couple, either. Couples did not quarrel as soon as they ran into each other.

Was this guy speaking up for Millie?

Marcus’ gaze became sterner.

Millie gave Patrick a wide-eyed look. The man probably thought she was an employee of the Thomas Group, which was why he

was speaking up for her, but she was not and had no intention of joining the said company.

“Don't say that. He’s a dictatorial control freak who doesn’t listen to anyone.”

Working for that kind of person would definitely make Millie upset.

Marcus glanced at Patrick and asked, “Do you think I’m her boss? Does she look like my employee?”

“Is she not?”
