Lucius stood impassively behind her, his gaze inscrutable and unreadable. Even though Milly had steeled. herself for this encounter, she still trembled under his unwavering scrutiny. “I… I didn’t mean to…” she stammered, her voice betraying her anxiety,

His eyes darkened, his tongue pressing against his check, and with a sudden, deliberate step forward, he closed the distance between them. Instinctively, Milly stepped back.

“You’re afraid of me,” he remarked.

Milly forced an awkward smile, a chill running down her spine as his intense gaze remained fixed upon her. She wished to explain, yet words cluded her. “T…”

In truth, her reaction was pure instinct, a reflex she could not suppress. Who could remain composed when faced with such an unnerving presence? She could not dare to label him a pervert to his face, lest she invite his ire and find herself in an even more precarious situation.

As Milly hesitated, considering whether to fabricate a harmless lie to diffuse the tension, a melodious and gentle voice interrupted her thoughts:

“Milly, Lucius, what are you two discussing? You seem so engaged, mind if I join?” Stephanie’s voice, sweet and soft, broke the moment’s tension.
