Zeke frowned. “Why? Is something the matter?” 

Millie pursed her lips without saying anything, which caused Zeke’s frown to deepen. “Millie, what’s wrong? Why do you suddenly look so tense?” 

Millie swallowed. “Uh, it’s just… it’s just that my boyfriend might be around.‘ 

“Oh.” Zeke’s expression dropped slightly at that. He didn’t understand the sudden tightness in his chest. 

He managed to smile. “I didn’t know you had a boyfriend, but what’s the problem if he’s around? I might as well say hi to him and warn him not to hurt you since I care about you.” 

Millie’s heart raced slightly, but she quickly chastised it, telling it to stop acting so foolishly because Zeke obviously didn’t mean it the way she thought. 

“So, are we going in or not?” Zeke prompted after some seconds. 

With her heart in her mouth, Millie nodded and unlocked the door. 

“Francis?” she called out. “Are you home?” 

She saw him sitting in the living room. His eyes blazed when he saw her. Millie was just about to warn him that she wasn’t alone, but she wasn’t fast enough. 

“Didn’t I tell you to come home early today? Why are you arriving at this time?” he demanded, storming towards 

her. 

Zeke had just entered behind Millie, instantly frowning as he heard the way her boyfriend spoke to her. 

Her boyfriend immediately slowed down upon seeing Zeke Before Zeke could say anything, Millie quickly spoke 

1. up. 

“Zeke, this is my boyfriend, Francis. And Francis, this… this is Zeke. I briefly worked at his house as a housekeeper three years ago.” 

Zeke did not miss the way her voice shook slightly. 

“I see,” her boyfriend said calmly as he smiled. “But you said three years ago, so how come you two are still acquainted? And why is he bringing you home? Where’s your car?” 

Zeke stared at him. Why did he feel like the man’s smile was fake? 

“It broke down just when I was about to return. That’s why I’m a bit late. Zeke saw me by the road and offered to drop me off, and I… I accepted.‘ 

“Your car broke down? Oh, I’m sorry for overreacting then. You know how worried I get when home early, especially since your phone was off.” 

“It’s okay. And I’m sorry.”

don’t come 

Zeke’s eyes narrowed. He’d briefly seen Millie doing something on her phone in the car, so her phone had definitely not been off. The man was lying, and she was going along with it. Why was that? 

“No need to apologize,” her boyfriend said and immediately grabbed her face, planting a long kiss on her lips. 

Zeke couldn’t tear his eyes away, feeling that the kiss looked a little too possessive. It was almost like the man was trying to demonstrate his claim to her.

Millie couldn’t look Zeke in the face once the kiss broke. Francis turned toward him, stretching out his hand. “Good to meet you, man. And thanks for bringing my woman home.” 1 

Zeke didn’t like how he referred to her like she was his property. Forcing a smile, he took the man’s hand in a brief handshake.
