“Tran into Marcus. He’s dining here.”

“Yes.” Millie typed, accompanying her text with a shrug emoji.
“That can’t be good. He must be seething. You, the wife of his, with billions in assets, are working as a server here. He’s bound to be upset. It’s all my doing. | was selfish and just wanted sfun.”
“Stop exaggerating. The family fortune has no bearing on me. He’s been on bad terms withfor stime, so don’t sweat it. Just enjoy yourself. | need to get back to work now.”
Emerging from the restroom, Millie was intercepted by the supervisor. “Helpdeliver these dishes,” she commanded.
Led by the supervisor, Millie approached a large private dining room, her eyes wide in disbelief at the large food cart. Who could possibly have ordered such an elaborate meal?
