Not long after, Marcus went to the company to take care of the things he left untreated today.
He would begin classes tomorrow. To make his movements easier, he decided to stay in the hotel and asked Millie to stay with him.
Left alone in the hotel room, Millie soon went out to grab something to eat and bumped into Louis in the hallway of the hotel.
“Why did you leave? I asked you to wait for me,” he inquired.

Louis crossed his arms over his chest and stared at Millie for a few seconds before asking, “Who is that man you were with earlier? You two looked close.”
He could still remember how the man’s cold and sharp eyes made him shudder.
And that only happened when the man found him looking at Millie.
“He’s my husband. I got married.”
Louis went numb. It was as though a truck ran over him.
It took a while for him to cback to himself. He cleared his throat lightly and said, “I know a little bit about the man. He is very powerful. I’m surprised. You’ve certainly grown in the past four years. And it is really something to be married to a man like him.”
Millie almost scoffed. This marriage was all a mistake. It wasn’t something she wanted.
“Please, don’t make fun of me,” she said light-heartedly.

She could remember how he couldn’t wait to leave after the speech last time.
“I can’t believe you’re so ungrateful. Now that you’re good enough, you wantto leave, huh? I remember how you wantedto stay longer last tso that you could showyour designs. I guess everything has changed.”
“What? No! That’s not what I meant,” Millie hurriedly said, seeing that he took her words the wrong way.
There was a trace of imperceptible regret in Louis’ eyes as he answered her, “I’ll be here for a few more days.” He had been in a hurry to leave last tbecause he was too focused on her physical appearance. Just because she was ugly, he got annoyed by her design draft and wanted to leave as soon as the speech was over.
This time, he cin advance and decided to stay for longer because he had a crush on the pretty Millie.
“T’ll go back to my room now and get srest. I’m really tired,” he said after a while.
He wanted to ask Millie to have sdrinks with him, but he feared her control freak of a husband.
After Louis left, Millie went to the fountain outside the hotel and called Teresa to ask about her grandmother.
