Shutting off the water, he wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and in the moment before the shadow could press against the door, he quickly twisted the knob and pulled it open, bumping right into Millie who'd sneaked up.

"Who let you in?!"

Fury was brewing in his eyes like an impending storm.

"I've told you, you're not allowed in here. Can't you understand?! Where do you get the guts?!"

Feeling the icy chill emanating from him, Millie's limbs went cold, "I-I came to bring you coffee."

He smirked cruelly, his words cutting deep, "What do you think you're doing? You think I'm clueless? Just because we've hung out a few times, you think you're important? I've seen plenty of women like you-just a wave of my hand and they come running like dogs. What makes you any different? Even if you stood naked in front of me, I wouldn't spare you a second glance."

Murray looked down on her, his gaze filled with contempt. "You know why?"

Millie was trembling all over, covering her ears, shaking her head frantically, "No... I don't want to hear, please stop-"

"Can't bear to hear it? Then don't bother me. I find it disgusting. Get out!"

In tears, Millie ran away.

Murray carelessly knocked over the tray she had brought.
