Chapter 1299
While massaging her neck, Millie organized the design drafts on her desk. She then stood, switched off the lights, and exited the design department.
She felt that Marcus had yet to leave the building. Thus, she decided to head up to his office via the elevator.
Upon reaching the reception area outside his office, she noticed Trenton was absent. Spotting light filtering through the crack in the door, Millie smiled. Marcus was still there. They could leave together.
But as soon as she opened the door, she was met with shards of glass scattered across the floor.
Suddenly, a glass projectile whizzed toward the door, startling her.
“Get out!” Marcus’ shirt was partially unbuttoned. His sleeves were rolled up to reveal his muscular arms.

Millie was dumbfounded. This was a side of Marcus she’d never seen, and it reminded her of Shera’s earlier warning, causing her legs to tremble.
“Darling!”
Marcus looked up, his eyes tinged with red. The veins on his forehead pulsed as he clenched his teeth.
“Please leave and close the door. Now!”
Marcus seemed dangerously volatile at the moment, as if a fire had been ignited within him, compelling him to wreak havoc on his surroundings.
Millie’s eyes began to well up with tears as she shook her head.
“No, I want to be here, with you.”
She was frightened, not because of Marcus, but because she was worried about him.
Ignoring his request to leave, Millie lunged forward into his embrace, gripping him tightly.
Marcus slammed his fist onto the table, causing it to wobble. His knuckles began to bleed.
His voice grew noticeably hoarse.
“Could you please step outside?”
When she embraced him, she felt the sweat drenching his body. It was as if he were a lion, filled with rage.
“Allow me to stay with you.”
“Step out.” Marcus struggled as best as he could to restrain the urge to shove Millie aside.
Millie was deeply saddened by this. She sensed his helplessness, sorrow, and even desperation in that moment.
While wiping away her tears, she nodded. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
