Chapter 229

As a waitress, she was meant to serve the food, not await its arrival for herself. This could lead to a stern reprimand. The manager’s stern visage was advancing closer. Millie hastily stood and issued an apology. “My sincerest apologies, manager. | shall return to my duties at once.”

“Millie, please take a seat. I’m sure you’re exhausted after the morning’s endeavors,” the manager responded with an unexpected smile, allowing Millie to resher seat.

Millie was momentarily struck dumb. What could the manager possibly imply?

“Manager, | have no need for a meal. | must return to my duties.”

“Do not be absurd; everyone must eat. Have you placed an order yet? | will notify the kitchen. Your meal shall arrive shortly.” Perplexed, Millie handed the manager the menu Marcus had previously perused before the manager took his leave.

Only one possibility dawned on her. She turned to face the handsman opposite her.

“you revealed my identity to the manager, did you? Who gave you the right? | did not permit this.”

Her role here was to replace Grace, not to flaunt her identity. If the manager was aware she was Marcus’ wife, how could he possibly assign her duties?

Marcus’ brows furrowed.

“| merely mentioned that you were once a servant in the Thomas family. | ran into you today, and seeing your present condition, I, as your former master, thought it fit to treat you to a decent meal.”

Poof! Millie spat out a mouthful of water she had just sipped in surprise.

Soon, an array of exquisite dishes graced their table.

Mustard-baked lobster, smoked haddock, braised crab claws, and glistening golden chicken drumsticks... Millie’s eyes sparkled at the sight of the chicken drumstick. She was ravenous.

“Refrain from drooling into the dishes. Are you truly a servant?” Marcus remarked, his tone laced with contempt, as he crossed his long legs, clad in tailored suit trousers.

Millie shot back an eye roll as she picked up her utensils, ready to enjoy the meal. She couldn’t comprehend this man’s rudeness.

Observing that Derek remained standing, Millie waved at him, her smile inviting.
