Marcus suddenly looked towards the door and saw Millie standing there. Startled, Millie cleared her throat uncomfortably, squared her shoulders and walked in proudly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Oh, that doesn’t surprise me. She does have a strong interest in creatures like you, however strange it may seem. | saw it from the way she greeted you. It is the same way she plays with the Doberman at home. She tends to get attracted to cold things, you see.” Marcus spoke so casually, swirling the wine in his glass.
Leon clenched his fists and tried not to lose control of his emotions. Marcus dared to compare him to a common dog. It was unacceptable.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps filled the air.
Millie was coming back for her bag that she didn’t think to get in her haste to get away from Marcus.
She slowed her pace as she got closer and noticed that Leon was also in the room.
She got even more puzzled when she got close enough to hear what they were talking about. A Doberman?
The atmosphere between them was so thick with tension that it could be cut with a knife. Could a discussion about dogs bring this sort of tension?
Marcus suddenly looked towards the door and saw Millie standing there.
Startled, Millie cleared her throat uncomfortably, squared her shoulders and walked in proudly. “| just came to get my bag.”
“| never took you for a dog lover. I’m curious though. Is your dog male or female?”
Leon asked, making Millie to pause with her hand on her bag.
Weren't they talking about Doberman dogs? What did gender have to do with it?
And how did she get involved in this?
She shifted her gaze to Leon, who had worn a weird smile that left her confused.
Upon seeing the confused expression on her face, the corner of Leon’s mouth twitched. With an amused expression on his face, he turned and left.
Millie looked back at Marcus with a questioning brow. “Why were you talking about dogs? We don’t have any dogs at home, do we?” Marcus gritted his teeth, taking in her serious yet attractive look. He’d better not answer her question.
Unconsciously, he found himself checking Millie out. He hadn’t had a chance to fully appreciate her in her new outfit when he came in earlier.
