Why did Bruce think Millie got hurt from falling down the stairs?
Marcus looked towards Millie for an answer to that.
Millie was putting on a white T-shirt, with blue denim shorts that exposed her long slender and exceptionally beautiful legs.

Millie flushed a little from embarrassment under Marcus’ gaze. It wasn’t as though she lied to Bruce from sevil reason. She just said it casually to stop him from prying. She didn’t think he would blurt it out the first chance he got.
Anyways, the words were out there. She wasn’t going to pay any mind to Bruce’s slip up, nor was she going to squirm under Marcus’ scrutinizing gaze.
Instead, she looked around, her eyes taking in the environment. The sky was clear blue, and the orange trees filled the vast space, making it look like a forest. The air was exceptionally fresh. Not like the polluted one they all inhaled in town. For some reason, she felt like she was actually shaking off the bad luck that had been following her. Like Bruce had promised, she did feel better.
Meanwhile, Rhea’s jealous gaze followed Millie like a hawk, her eyes burning with anger. She held the wide brim of her sun hat in a tight grip for control.
“Damn you, Bruce!” she murmured under her breath. Why did he have to bring Millie here? She couldn't hold her tongue much longer.
“Bruce, why did you chere? You usually hate participating in these company activities.”
“That’s true, but | figured that since you've been here for two days already, it must be fun. | couldn’t miss out on it,” Bruce replied easily.
Rhea gritted her teeth and fought to control her emotions. Yes, he wanted to come, but did Millie really have to tag along? Why couldn’t she just divorce with Marcus?
“We should go in and check in first,” Bruce said to Millie, closing the car door.

The words were barely out her mouth when Bruce seized the ID from her hand.
“You don’t need to check in when your husband is here. You can just share the sroom with him. Letgo and get his room card for you.”
“Thanks, but that’s not necessary.” Millie’s words hung in the air.
Bruce was already out the door in search of Marcus.
Outside, Marcus was discussing business matters with a senior manager. When the man saw Bruce approaching, he stopped talking for Bruce to speak first.
“[m sorry for interrupting, Marcus, can you giveyour room card? Millie needs to keep her things inside,” Bruce said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, extending his hand to Marcus.
Marcus narrowed his eyes at Bruce; the sinister and suggestive smile on his cousin’s face making him feel like there was an underlying message in that request.
A few people that heard Bruce hooted with laughter, understanding what that meant.
