Chapter 23
Chapter: 23
“I mean no offense. I'm just upset that you're being denied food. Marcus has
gone way too far. Is this how a human being is supposed to act?” Bruce quickly
explained.
Millie looked longingly at the door, hoping that a lavish feast was waiting for her
on the other side.
Whatever. She really needed to eat now. It was then that Millie ignored Marcus's
words that she must apologize first before she could get anything to eat.
Millie got to her feet and headed for the door. She walked past Bruce, who
spotted her design drafts on the table.
“Wow, Millie! Did you design this ring yourself? This is impressive,” Bruce
praised.
“Are you a jewellery designer?”
Millie turned around and returned to the table to hide the papers. “I'm not a
jewellery designer. I just drew that because I was bored. Now, let's go. Didn't you
say we'd get something to eat?”
“That can’t be true. Your design drafts are too detailed to be something that you
drew out of boredom.” Bruce gave her a probing look.
Millie massaged her temples. She was hungry and was not in the mood to argue
with anyone, so she ignored Bruce's remarks and made her way downstairs. He
trailed behind grudgingly.
Once they reached the first floor, Bruce quickly ordered the servants to bring
them food.
However, the servants did not act immediately because they had not gotten
instruction from Marcus to feed Millie yet.
“Don't worry about Marcus. If he gets angry, I'll take the blame. Go and give her
some food. If she really dies due to starvation, you'll be in even more trouble,”
Bruce remarked.
The servants looked at each other, nodded, and then went to the kitchen.
Millie looked at Bruce with gratitude in her eyes.
Soon, the food was ready.
Millie pointed at the stairs and said, “Please take it to the bedroom. I'll eat there.”
After the satisfying meal, Millie stretched her body, a state of blissful contentment
washing over her.

She then made her way downstairs,
unimpeded by the servants. Anyway,
Bruce promised to shoulder the
blame for them if Marcus got mad.

When Millie approached Bruce, she discovered that he was looking at photos of
jewellery online.
“Are you shopping for jewellery? What for? A gift?”
