Chapter: 98 “Great idea! Let's do that.”
Gently, so as not to alarm Millie, they locked the door from outside. Then, they found the electrical panel mounted on the wall and turned off the power supply for the lounge.
The lights suddenly went off in the lounge. Millie looked around and could only see darkness.
She reached for her phone for a flashlight, but the power was tured off. She groaned in frustration as she recalled how that happened. While waiting for Marcus earlier outside the banquet hall, she played with her phone to kill both the time and her boredom. She played until the battery completely ran down.
With a sigh, Millie thought of the layout of the room and walked in the direction of the door, stumbling along the way. When she finally reached the door and held the doorknob, she sighed with relief.
However, she pressed it down, but it didn’t budge. She tried a few more times, but the door was locked.
This wasn’t right, and it was too much of a coincidence; the locked door and the lights out. It could only be one person’s doing— Rhea.
An hour later, in the banquet hall, the highlight of the birthday party began.
As the birthday song filled the room, a massive multi-layered cake was wheeled out. Marcus walked towards Derek with a frown.
“Where is that woman?”
It took a moment for Derek to understand who he was talking about.
“I'll go and find her,” he said and went in search of Millie.
The three women returned to the banquet hall, exchanging sly smiles with each other. Rhea walked directly to Marcus and asked with concern, “Marcus, are you tired?
You've been quite busy socializing all night.”
“I'm fine,” Marcus replied curtly without even looking at her, his eyes moving around the hall in search of something else. Rhea stomped her foot with a pout, hating the feeling of being ignored.
The towering cake was wheeled into the center of the banquet hall as the pleasant birthday song played in the background. Marcus’ brows were creased together. Where the hell was Millie? Derek hadn’t found her yet.
She always appeared at the wrong times, conveniently disappearing when she was most needed.
When the cake was in place, Claudia emerged from behind the scenes with a beaming smile on her face. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
