He regained his composure immediately, though, and his temper began to flare again. The woman was definitely up to something.
“This is my room; | don’t need your permission to enter it,” Marcus stated snappishly. For a while, Millie was at a loss for words.

Millie’s heart began pounding wildly in her chest. She took a step back, and her grip on the bottle of hand cream tightened. “What are you doing?” “What did you mean by what you said in the study?” Marcus asked sternly.
Millie’s eyes widened, shocked by the question and anxious as Marcus's towering frame closed in on her. He would not hurt her over something so trivial, would he?

“You said that men are creatures who only think with their lower bodies. Are you so sure about that?” Marcus’s voice dipped alluringly.
Millie wrinkled her brows when she realized he must feel humiliated by her words. “It's an offhand comment... What are you doing?”
Suddenly, Marcus's face took on a peculiar expression. His alluring lips went closer to Millie’s dazzling white neck, and as they did, she felt a tingling sensation all throughout her body.
As Marcus got closer, Millie caught a whiff of the minty scent coming from his body.

She moved to get away from him, but Marcus grabbed her hands, effectively immobilizing her. “Get away from me!” Millie was genuinely panicking now.
“You're wrong. Even if you’re a woman, men won’t jump on you. If anything, they’ll only avoid you if they see your face,” Marcus ridiculed.
His lips curled in intense disgust as he pulled away from Millie, and he snorted condescendingly. That was it?
As it tumed out, he only did that to humiliate her. A crease appeared on Millie’s forehead as she willed her racing heartbeat to slow down.
