Rhea’s face fell, hurt by Marcus’ desire to dismiss her as soon as she arrived.
“Are you still mad about last night? I’m truly sorry. I had no idea you were on the phone with Millie. If she misunderstood anything, I’ll go and apologize to her right now.”

Marcus’ face turned grim, and he began to focus on the documents on his desk, paying no attention to Rhea. Left standing alone, embarrassment washed over Rhea, and she walked out of the room silently.
Upon leaving, she made her way toward Celeste. Marcus’ indifference had stung her, and she resolved to take it out on Millie.

“Mrs. Thomas, I went to see Marcus earlier today,” Rhea said.
Celeste’s face immediately showed concern as she asked, “How is he? Has he gotten any better?”
“No, his condition is actually getting worse.” Rhea shook her head as she spoke.
Celeste’s brow furrowed in worry. As her only son, Marcus’ well-being was her top priority, and she couldn’t bear to see him suffer.
“Mrs. Thomas, you mentioned that you were going to drive Millie away, didn’t you?”

“Mrs. Thomas, rest assured, I’ll speak to Millie on your behalf.”
Later, on Millie’s way home, Rhea crossed paths with Millie and stopped her.
Millie’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Rhea, who was standing there, arms folded.
“Millie, Mrs. Thomas sentto speak with you. She’s been quite clear about your dire fate, and you must leave Marcus at once. Why are you still with him? Have you no shame?” Rhea spat out.
Millie’s response was a derisive sneer. This reaction only served to further irritate Rhea, who was already envious of Millie’s position.
