Instinctively, Millie picked up the mask lying on the nearby chair and secured it in place.

“You don’t need to wear that around me.”

He felt the need to remove her mask for her face to breathe freely. No matter how altered her appearance, he assured her that he would never disdain her.

Millie hesitated momentarily, then proceeded to put on the mask.

“No matter how you look, I won’t look down on you,” Marcus affirmed.

Millie arched an eyebrow, asking, “Really?”

A nod of agreement cfrom Marcus.

A warmth washed over Millie’s heart.

“Just so you know, I’ll have to delay my return by a few more days. I need to wait for my allergy symptoms to improve before I can take my grandma back to the countryside. Only after she’s settled there can I return to work at the company.”

Imagining the challenging journey back to the rural area, Marcus subtly furrowed his brow.

“I’ll arrange for someone to take your grandma home. You needn’t trouble yourself.”

Millie shook her head, asserting, “I want to be the one to accompany my grandma back. Only when I know she’s comfortably settled will I find peace of mind.”

Her grandma was the anchor of her life, the person she had fought hard to bring back from the brink. Only once she had ensured her grandmother’s wellbeing could she return to work and find solace.

In the past, Millie had even entertained the idea of returning to the countryside to live a simple life by her grandma’s side.

Marcus didn’t push the matter any further, silently accepting her determination.

“Marcus, Millie.”

A voice cfrom behind, and the two turned to find Bruce approaching, a bottle of red wine in his hand.

Marcus fixed his gaze on Bruce, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

Prior to Bruce’s approach, he had been positioned in close proximity, quietly witnessing their interaction. He had seized the instance when Marcus and Millie shared a tender smile.

His meeting with Millie had been captured by someone and put on the company’s website. Yet, that hadn’t impacted Marcus and Millie’s relationship.

“Marcus, I apologize. I’ve heard that pictures of Millie andhave been circulating on the company’s internal network. It was my lack of vigilance that allowed someone with malicious intent to exploit the situation. This 30

-year-old bottle of wine is a gesture of my apology to you.”

Bruce extended the wine towards Marcus, but Marcus remained immobile, the tension palpable in the air.
