Chapter 32
Chapter: 32
Marcus agreed and they went to Gerald's office. Some time later, Marcus walked
out of the office and out of the hospital gate. He stopped by the lake, and beheld
Millie was once again there. She leaned against the railing and gazed up ata
cluster of willows.
He rolled his eyes and let out a disgruntled sound. Why did he always have to
see this woman wherever he went?
Just then, a car stopped by the lake and Bruce got out of it.
“Millie, why are we meeting outside the hospital? Are you sick?” he asked as he
walked towards her.
Millie chose to ignore the concem she heard in his voice and answered casually,
“It's my grandmother who is sick.”
Then, she pulled out the draft design of the magnolia flower brooch from her bag
and held it out to him. “Here, the design draft. What do you think?”
Bruce took it from her and saw the vivid and exquisite magnolia flower brooch
drawn on it. He was impressed and suddenly impatient to let the world see it.
When he looked up at Millie again, his eyes were appreciative as he now saw her
in a different light.
“Millie, this is absolutely beautiful. We're going to make it exactly like this. No
changes will be done. I assure you, grandma will love it.”
Millie smiled, satisfied with his reaction.
“Okay. I'll bring it to you once it's done.”
Bruce was going to leave after seeing the draft, but he couldn't help his curiosity
when he noticed the dark circles under Millie's eyes. “You don’t seem to be doing
very well. Are you still angry at Marcus?”
Last night, Marcus had to stay in the hospital after his grandmother’s accident.
So, Bruce assumed that Millie was angry because he didn’t come back home.
Millie put the sketch into her bag and zipped the bag up before looking back at
Bruce.
“Angry? For what reason? If I look tired with dark circles under my eyes, it's
because Thad to stay awake for a long time working to get this design ready for
you.”
Bruce observed Millie carefully, as if trying to read into her soul. This was very
strange and unprecedented.

It was the first time a woman
showed a total lack of interest in
Marcus. Since his childhood days,
Marcus had never been in lack of
attention from girls. He seemed to
pull them like bees to honey. The

Seeing the doubt in Bruce's words, Millie looked down at the stones under her
feet and kicked one.
“I can explain it to you this way. To me, Marcus is just like this stone. He's smelly
and hard. I won't fall in love for such.”

As if to prove her point, Millie
suddenly kicked the stone, sending it
flying in a beautiful parabolic arc
before it fell with a splash into the
lake. The content is on
