Chapter 294

“There’s time for breakfast,” Marcus replied, placing his hefty car key on the table.

“Don’t you owe me a meal? This could be it.”

Millie was taken aback. She had been researching special restaurants to return the favor, and his casualness threw her off.

“Are you sure you want to eat here?” Millie asked incredulously.

The surprise momentarily overpowered her anger.

“Your job now is to suggest something for me to eat,” Marcus responded.

Millie was under the impression that she had misinterpreted the situation.

Observing the gravity of his demeanor, she was confident he intended to dine at this very place.

Millie rose and walked towards the counter.

“One coffee, two eggs, and one sandwich, please.”

“Okay.”

After paying, she collected the items and brought them to their table.

She placed a sandwich in front of Marcus, then finally allowed herself to sit down.

“Just eat.”

Marcus replied with a smirk, “You've ordered quite a bit. Worried | won't be full?”

Avoiding his gaze, Millie said, “All these are delicious. Try them.”

She had dined here with Grace before, and the food had been quite tasty.

Once Marcus bit into his sandwich, Millie watched him intently, seeking his feedback. Since this meal was meant to be a

repayment, she was serious about his opinion.

Upon seeing Marcus that day, her grandmother was truly pleased.

“Do you like it?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Judging by Marcus’ stern expression, it appeared that the

sandwich wasn't to his liking.

Seeing that Millie had calmed down, Marcus nodded and said, “Not bad.”

After two bites, a call from Derek forced him to set his food down. He had an overseas video conference to attend, necessitating

his departure.
