Instinctively, Millie picked up the mask lying on the nearby chair and secured it in
place.
“You don't need to wear that around me.”
He felt the need to remove her mask for her face to breathe freely. No matter how
altered her appearance, he assured her that he would never disdain her.
Millie hesitated momentarily, then proceeded to put on the mask.
“No matter how you look, I won't look down on you,” Marcus affirmed.
Millie arched an eyebrow, asking, “Really?”
Anod of agreement came from Marcus.
A warmth washed over Millie's heart.
“Just so you know, I'll have to delay my return by a few more days. I need to wait
for my allergy symptoms to improve before I can take my grandma back to the
countryside. Only after she’s settled there can I return to work at the company.”
Imagining the challenging journey back to the rural area, Marcus subtly furrowed
his brow.
“I'll arrange for someone to take your grandma home. You needn't trouble
yourself.”
Millie shook her head, asserting, “I want to be the one to accompany my
grandma back. Only when I know she’s comfortably settled will I find peace of
mind.”
Her grandma was the anchor of her life, the person she had fought hard to bring
back from the brink. Only once she had ensured her grandmother's wellbeing
could she return to work and find solace.
In the past, Millie had even entertained the idea of returning to the countryside to
live a simple life by her grandma's side.
Marcus didn’t push the matter any further, silently accepting her determination.
“Marcus, Millie.”
A voice came from behind, and the two turned to find Bruce approaching, a bottle
of red wine in his hand.
Marcus fixed his gaze on Bruce, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

Bruce extended the wine towards Marcus, but Marcus remained immobile, the
tension palpable in the air.
