“Where did you run off to?” Marcus was wearing a stern face, as though he knew something. After savoring a spoonful of the scrumptious porridge, Millie finally looked him in the eye. “| went to the restroom. Didn't | tell you about it?” she answered.
Marcus squinted, his tone laced with skepticism. “To the restroom, eh? Or was it to rendezvous with the person you wanted to see?

When Leon vacated his seat, Millie seemed lost in thought for a moment before heading to the restroom. Marcus suspected she might be meeting Leon.
Having heard her question, Marcus scowled. In Millie’s mind, she thought that he was just picking a fight, so she began eating her porridge again.
“Why didn’t you marry Leon, given how much you like him? He’s single, isn’t he?” asked Marcus. Millie was taken by surprise. His words were easy to understand, but what was he implying? Was he upset because she had met with Leon?
No, his expression suggested he suspected that she was being unfaithful to him.
All she did was ask Leon to help her with her grandmother's surgery and nothing else.

“So, if he wasn’t engaged, you’d marry him? Is that what you’re saying?” Marcus countered.
Millie was left speechless.
He seemed to be pulling her leg intentionally. Everything that just cout of his mouth was completely absurd!
Thus, she decided to let it slide and focused on her meal, paying no mind to Marcus.
The shrimp porridge was a treat. Millie called for another portion, planning to take it to her grandma on her lunch break. Marcus, wearing an icy expression, got up from his seat and headed towards the restroom.
She watched him walk away from the corner of her eye, her lips pursed, before returning to her porridge.
