Chapter: 361

The snowflakes descended, softening their faces as they melted on their skin.

Millie found herself caught off guard as Marcus held her in his embrace following the unraveling of her prank.

With a swift turn of her head, she fixed him with an indignant glare, a stray lock of hair wafting in the chilly breeze.

“You.”

Marcus raised an eyebrow, spinning Millie around to face him.

“Thought you could pull a fast one on me?” he queried.

A twinge of apprehension washed over Millie in the aftermath of her action.

“How would you know? You were engrossed in your call,” she retorted, her rosy lips imprinted with teeth marks.

“Millie, no matter how formidable you might think you are, believe me, escaping me isn’t an option,” Marcus confidently stated.

There was an undeniable dominance in his stance, and his handsome features were adored with an enigmatic smile.

His words struck a chord in Millie’s heart.

With a swift furrowing of her brows, she retorted, “I can. You’re not some omnipotent king.”

Leaning in, Marcus flashed a playful grin.

“We've got plenty of time. How about we put that to the test?” A tremor of surprise swept through Millie, causing her heart to

flutter.

As Marcus gently lowered his gaze and held her slender waist, she felt as fragile as a snow-kissed plum blossom in his secure

grip.

Unnoticed, darkness spread like ink. The hotel, however, stood brightly illuminated, appearing as a majestic palace nestled in the

embrace of a snow-white landscape.

Her heart thumping, Millie was ready to flee, when suddenly she was lifted off the ground.

Her eyes wide with surprise, she stammered, “Put me down.”

“Not all women have the fortune to find themselves in my arms. You should count yourself lucky,” Marcus replied, a teasing smile

on his lips.

His face, a work of chiseled perfection, came ever closer to Millie’s, the warmth of his breath mingling with hers.

Marcus whispered, “If you wish to avoid the chill embrace of the snow, seek refuge in my arms.”

Aglance over her shoulder revealed Derek standing at the door.
