She wanted to lie next to him. She had a crush on him ever since they were kids, but she just could not get him. For a long time, she had let that sort of yearning consher thoughts, and as a result, it warped her personality.
After a few seconds of staring at Marcus’ sleeping form, Rhea’s lips twitched into a sinister smile.
Rhea’s hand slowly stroked the pure white sheets, her touch tinged with longing, before she withdrew.
She put slipstick on, smeared it with her fingertip for a messy look, let her hair down, and undid the top buttons of her blouse to expose her chest.

Rhea changed her position several times and took more suggestive photos of her and the sleeping man.
All the photos were meticulously taken to make it look like the people in them were in a hotel rather than a hospital.
Afterward, she silently slipped out of the room and sent the photos she took to Millie.

She felt like her heart was being pierced as she stared at the photos.
Shortly after, Rhea sent another message.
“Do you really think he’s on a business trip? We’re in Preagend right now. Try to guess which hotel we’re staying at.”
Millie’s stomach dropped. Didn’t Marcus say he was on a business trip? Why was he with Rhea, then?
At first, Millie considered calling Rhea to question her, but then she changed her mind and called Marcus instead. However, he did not pick up the phone. She called twice but got no response.
There was a weight on her chest as Millie set the phone down. That night, she did not get much sleep.
The following morning, it was Marcus who called Millie first.
