Chapter: 413

Millie stopped moving her hand, and Marcus looked at her, his eyes filled with passion.

“They're praising your beauty. Why are you acting shy? Aren’t you usually confident?” Marcus asked, expecting her to keep the

hairpin on.

Millie rolled her eyes but withdrew her hand. Normally, she would have insisted she wasn’t shy.

But this time, she held her tongue. She looked away, coughed, and sipped her tea.

Marcus turned and stopped two strangers from toasting Millie.

He told them that she didn’t like to drink.

Fortunately, they were smart enough not to ask her to drink again.

From their words and actions, Millie gathered they were hoping to do business with Marcus. That might be why they were having

this meal.

While the men talked, she ate quietly, planning to get back to work as soon as she was done.

Marcus noticed her interest in the duck tongue and placed the plate near her. Mylo’s girlfriend looked on enviously.

“Mylo, look. Mr. Thomas is so thoughtful,” she said.

Millie blushed, wondering why Marcus was so attentive tonight. He even noticed her favorite food during his business chat.

“Honey, here’s the beef you like,” Mylo said, serving his girlfriend a plate of beef.

“Ugh, | really hate beef,” she replied, wrinkling her nose.

Mylo was completely taken aback. It was as if he didn’t know about this.

“I've told you three times | prefer rabbit dice,” she said, stamping her foot as she stood to fetch the rabbit dice.

Millie’s eyes widened when she saw their interaction.

Mylo turned to Marcus; the frustration in his voice was evident.

“Damn it! How come you're so cautious and attentive? She dislikes me because I’m careless,” he said.

Marcus glanced at Mylo and then ignored him.

“you don’t love me enough. Don’t blame others for treating their girlfriends well,”

Mylo’s girlfriend grunted.
