“Close the window and help retrieve these papers,” Marcus directed. “The window’s broken and won’tclose,” someone responded.

In the midst of the chaos, students rallied to retrieve the scattered documents and assist Kaya, whoselightweight papers were at the mercy of the wind.

Kaya approached Millie with a plea in her eyes.

“Millie, may I put my papers in your bag? My documents are so Light, and I fear they’ll be blown awayagain.”

Millie was momentarily taken aback by the request, her mind racing.

The contents of her bag were far from suitable for public display, especially during a classroom mishap.She couldn’t allow anyone else to see what was concealed within.

With her mind made up, Millie replied, “I’m sorry, Kaya, but I need to use my bag. Try replaceing somethingto weigh down your papers.”

Kaya’s demeanor shifted from a plea to apparent frustration.

“It’s just a bag. Why are you being so stingy? Please, just let me borrow it. I don’t want to disrupt theclass any further.”

Millie chose to ignore her, well aware that Kaya was intentionally causing a disturbance.

She probably assumed that Marcus wouldn’t be on Millie’s side, given that he had placed her at theback of the classroom during the previous class.

Undeterred, Kaya remained standing next to Millie, determined not to back down until she got what shewanted.

Observing the interaction, Marcus stepped off the platform, his eyes narrowing in scrutiny.

Maintaining her poise, Millie focused on the book in front of her. However, her senses heightened asMarcus approached and reached for her bag.

“No,” she exclaimed, standing up hastily. She had not anticipated that Marcus would directly take herbag.

Marcus gazed at the contents of the bag, his heart racing in response. He had sensed something wasamiss with Millie’s bag when she stood at the door earlier, but he hadn’t anticipated this particulardiscovery.

Turning his attention to Millie, whose face was now as red as a ripe apple, he cleared his throat andreturned the bag to her with a knowing look. In the midst of this exchange, his gaze shifted towardKaya.

“Return to your seat. If you’re intent on disrupting the class, then feel free to stand outside.” Kaya’s facedarkened with humiliation, as if she had been publicly reprimanded.

“Alright, Mr. Thomas.”

Subsequently, Millie discovered that Marcus had cast numerous glances in her direction. Consequently,throughout the entire class, she found herself blushing.

In the evening, within the shopping mall’s lounge, Darin retrieved a list and passed it to Rhea.

“Here’s our wedding gift list. What are your thoughts?”
