"Didn't you hear me? I said get out!"

Millie bit her lip, shaking all over.

But there wasn't a trace of pity on Murray's face. "And don't you dare step foot in here again without my permission, got it?"

"Ours?" The smirk on his face was nearly cruel. "You think you're worthy?"

Millie swayed, nearly losing her balance.

Murray didn't move to catch her, watching with the detached amusement of a spectator. His mocking gaze seemed to say-keep acting, keep pretending.

"Get out!"

Millie turned and left, utterly defeated.

"Wait..." Murray stopped her.

Millie's eyes sparked with hope.
