Chapter 158 Showcase His Affection in Front of Jameson

Daniel had been Lucas’s secretary for many years, but recently, he sensed that his position was becoming precarious.

He used to pride himself on being the secretary who understood the boss the best, but lately, he struggled to keep up with Lucas’s directives.

Last weekend, Lucas tasked him with drafting a ‘marriage agreement’ and now, Lucas suddenly changed his mind about bringing Mrs. Craig to a gala.

Daniel found it puzzling why Lucas would alter his plans for the event and, more bewildering, why Lucas, who typically attended events without a companion, suddenly wanted to bring Mrs. Craig.

Holding the invitation in his office, Daniel contemplated the situation. Eventually, he deduced a

possibility.

The gala was hosted by Richmond Corp, which had collaborations with Infinity Corp. The event naturally invited members of the Royce family.

Lucas had always avoided such seemingly useless events, but this time, he wanted to bring Mrs. Craig. It must be because Jameson would be present.

Daniel felt that he finally understood the situation! Mr. Craig wanted to showcase his affection in

front of Jameson.

Realizing that, Daniel hastily instructed someone to deliver the invitation to Marion and simultaneously began arranging for a stylist to prepare Marion for the event. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With only a few days until Friday, there was not enough time for a custom-made gown, so they had to choose something vibrant to ensure Mrs. Craig would steal the spotlight that evening.

When Marion received the invitation, she could not help but recall the recent contract she had signed.

She felt it was time to fulfill her obligations.

Before she could say anything, the person delivering the invitation informed her,. “Mrs. Craig, Mr. Price has already arranged for the gown and shoes. You might need to free up an additional two hours for styling on Friday.”

“Alright.”

Lucas’s people were indeed considerate. Marion thought she would need to prepare a lot for the event, but apparently, just showing up was enough.

After the person delivering the invitation left, Marion could not resist complaining to Cassie via WhatsApp.

Marion: [I thought I would get a chance to shine, but turns out, it’s all for nothing.]

Cassie: [Oh, are you sure you’re not rubbing it in my face?]

‘Huh, am I?’ Marion asked herself.

She pondered for a moment and felt strangely guilty. She sent an emoji, not daring to directly respond to Cassie’s question.

In the evening, when Lucas came back and brought up the Friday night event, Marion sighed about how considerate his secretary was.

Hearing her words, Lucas, with one button of his shirt undone, paused slightly and turned to look at Marion, who was playing games on the sofa.

“Considerate?” he asked.

Marion, fully engrossed in her game, responded casually, “Very considerate. Everything is prepared, and I don’t need to think or prepare anything. It makes me feel a bit guilty.”

It seemed like she did not have much to do in their marriage partnership.

“Guilty about what?” Lucas unbuttoned his collar, smoothly approached Marion’s side, and sat down without disrupting her attention.

Marion, still focused on her game, glanced at him, made some room for him to sit on her side, and continued, “Well, I feel like my usefulness isn’t very significant.”

“There’s someone in the left bushes,” Lucas said as he looked at her game.

As he spoke, a figure indeed jumped out from the left bushes. Marion was relieved that she had retreated upon hearing Lucas’s words. Otherwise, she would have been caught in that wave again.

“Thanks for that. Otherwise, I would have been done for.”

Marion turned her head and glanced at Lucas.

At that moment, she realized Lucas had sat down beside her. They were extremely close, with his thigh touching hers. She could distinctly feel his body warmth.

Marion’s scalp tingled. Suddenly, the back of her left hand felt warm as Lucas’s hand covered it.

“Don’t get distracted, or we’ll lose the game.”

His hand covered hers and guided her hero back to the tower.
