As soon as Millie’s card passed and the payment was done, the shop assistant smiled so much that her eyes were barely visible. Millie took one of the bags and gave it to Gemma. “Take this, Gemma. It’s for you.”
Gemma’s mouth dropped wide open as she looked at the bag. “No, Mrs. Thomas.
Thank you, but | can’t accept this. It’s worth ten thousand. It’s too valuable for me.”
Millie pursed her lips disapprovingly.
“Stop with the false modesty and just take it, Gemma. It was obvious from the way you stared at the dress that you wanted it. Now you have it. Take it so we can go.”
That evening, in the most luxurious private room of the Skyline Restaurant, gathered around a table of cards, were four exquisitely dressed men. The fragrance of tea filled the room as they played good-naturedly.
Marcus threw out a card he had picked up. He had been in a very bad mood since he came in.
Mylo Barrett, who was seated closest to him stole a glance at him and asked, “It is because of the news that was published today? You've been in a sour mood all night.”
Mylo’s words were met with silence as Marcus focused his gaze on the cards in his hand.
It was true that the two revelations that were published were big. Mylo wasn’t interested in the one that said Marcus was not disabled. He knew that a long time ago. He was Marcus’ friend after all.
What actually shocked him, was the fact that Marcus married Millie. He already knew that Marcus was married, but he always thought it was to Mia, not Millie. ©
Not only was Millie unpleasant to the eyes, but her reputation left nothing to be admired. How on earth did she snag this man who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth?
Delmor Blakely looked up with a small smile at the comer of his lips.
“The news has to be true. Even if he wanted to deny it, his long face the moment he walked into the door gave him away. It’s just an ugly woman. He can just abandon her.”
“What? Not now. He can do that only after we’ve had a chance to meet her,” Mylo said excitedly.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
He really wanted to see if this Mrs. Thomas was really as ugly as the rumours termed her to be. How exactly had Marcus lived through the last days with her?
Suddenly, Marcus threw them death glares and warned, “Mention her once again and see what will happen to you!” Mylo and Delmor both clamped their mouths shut. The next second, the door to the private room was kicked open.
With a loud bang, the door hit the wall before reverting back slowly.
