Chapter 303
“Im commemorating my birthday tonight, and I’ve planned an intimate celebration. I'd be delighted if you could grace us with your presence. Would that be possible?”
Marcus frowned, leafing through another page of the document. “[ have prior commitments tonight. I'll ask Derek to send you a gift.” But that wasn’t what she wanted. Rhea’s fists clenched in frustration.
“Could you spare stime? Just a little while at the party. | don’t have any family here. You once toldyou'd treatas your sister since you didn’t have one. But now, you can’t even spare a moment for my birthday celebration. I’m aware that my recent actions have disappointed you. Celeste has chastised me, and | assure you | won’t repeat such mistakes. Could you offer me a second chance?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a heavy silence, Rhea squeezed out a tear, trying her best to appear pitiable.
Annoyed, Marcus finally conceded.
“Address, time.”
By noon, a call from Millie had found its way to Marcus’ phone.
As he registered the caller ID, his heart rate quickened. Unconsciously, his fingers traced his lips, recalling Millie's sweet taste. After a moment's consideration, she decided the meal she had treated Marcus to earlier had been rather modest.
The bill had barely scraped three dollars.
Perhaps, she thought a more substantial meal wouldn't go amiss.
With most of the office taking a siesta, the restaurant was enveloped in a serene quiet. Millie picked a table near the window, the sunbeams filtering through the curtains.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatiently, she waited as Marcus deliberated over answering the call. As soon as he did, she eagerly broke the silence.
“Do you have sttonight? I’d like to make it up to you for the rather basic meal earlier. Can | treat you to dinner?”
“What ttonight?” His voice, even more magnetic and enticing over the phone, left Millie momentarily stunned. “Nine o'clock.”
The silence that followed sent waves of anxiety washing over her.
Throughout the day, her mind kept drifting back to their intimate moment in the car.
The memory of his forceful kiss was still fresh. His dominating demeanor initially overwhelmed her.
But on closer inspection, she realized that he’d been gently cradling her head. Aman who managed to be both assertive and tender had an irresistible charm.
