Chapter 355

Chapter: 355

“Harlan, would you like to come in for a moment?”

Grateful for his help, she wanted to extend the invitation, but then realized it might seem odd for a maid to invite him into her

home—a villa that clearly didn’t belong toa maid.

Quickly, she added, “I mean, since you know Mr. Thomas, perhaps you'd like to meet him.”

Harlan agreed readily, “Okay, I'll come in for a minute.”

Entering the house, Millie and Harlan found Marcus seated in the living room.

Marcus turned and examined Millie, visibly relieved to see she was unhurt, before his eyes shifted to Harlan.

“Oh, you... Mr. Thomas, you're still awake? | had an accident today. Harlan saved me.”

Millie’s use of Harlan’s first name indicated they'd become acquainted.

“Well, since you had an accident, you must be shaken. Don’t worry about working tonight. Go rest,” Marcus said.

Glancing at Harlan behind her, Millie didn’t know what to say.

Feeling a bit awkward and unsure why Marcus hadn’t explained her true identity to Harlan, Millie nodded and left the room.

As Harlan moved towards the spacious living room, he missed the moment when Millie headed upstairs and entered the master

bedroom.

“You're confident that I'd bring her back? You're waiting for me?” Harlan remarked, noticing that Marcus was sitting without even

having the TV on.

“You saved her. What a coincidence!” Marcus replied, his voice laced with a mixture of curiosity and caution.

“What? Do you think | was stalking your maid? Are you out of your mind? | was just revisiting my old haunt when | ran into her,”

Harlan said after picking up on the subtext of Marcus’ words.

Agleam appeared in Marcus’ eye. He reached for a bottle of water, filled a glass, and set it in front of Harlan.

“Thank you for saving my maid,” Marcus muttered.

“She has already thanked me. Besides, she made me some noodles yesterday. It’s only right that | help her,” Harlan replied.

“Do you know who sent those people?”

Harlan shook his head. “The only clue | have is that the perpetrator was a woman wearing a pair of dragon and phoenix-shaped

earrings.”

Marcus frowned. A woman wearing dragon and phoenix-shaped earrings? It seemed that Millie had offended someone.

Thinking back on Millie’s silence and the way she bit her lower lip on the way back home, Harlan concluded that she must still be

in shock. She almost got kidnapped just moments ago, after all.
