Chapter 772

The more Millie heard, the more embarrassed she felt. She didn’t react, but flipped the pages of her

book silently.

In his private office given by the administration, Marcus was having a video conference with some

people at work. After the meeting, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair with a

sigh.

The sound of Millie’s confiscated phone ringing snapped his eyes open.

He looked at the caller ID and once again saw that it was Leon.

He pursed his lips, hesitating between taking it or letting it ring. After a few seconds, he made up his

mind and pressed the answer button.

“You said you were going to call me back when you got free.”

Leon had been waiting all morning for Millie’s call but his phone never rang.

“Do you need something from her?”

Marcus’ indifferent voice drifted to the other end of the line.

There was a momentary pause.

“If it’s nothing urgent, then don’t bother her,” Marcus said gruffly and hung up.

He stared at the way Millie had saved Leon’s name in her phone. She had typed “elder brother” next to

his name. Marcus huffed and turned off the screen.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door.

“Come in.”

Millie pushed open the door and walked in. She was here for her phone.

But seeing that Marcus’ expression was still very cold and dark, she treaded carefully.

“I came to get my phone,” she said in a low voice.

Marcus narrowed his eyes and leaned back against the back of his leather chair.

“I may not be a professional teacher, and I may be your husband, but that doesn’t give you the right to

play with your phone during class.”

Millie was already in a bad mood, but his attitude only irritated her more. It wasn’t as though she

deliberately took out her phone to play with, and besides, she wasn’t the only one using her phone in

class. She felt like he just singled her out to build his prestige.

Marcus stood up and approached her slowly.

“What’s with that look? Do you feel wronged now?” he asked.
