Chapter 63 Don’t Be Angry, Mr. Craig


    When Marion was wheeled in by Lucas, the people in the private room were visibly surprised. The manager from Radiant


    Group’s branding department found it particrly puzzling.


    Was the dinner that night not supposed to finalize the endorsement deal for next year?


    Of course, despite their confusion, they dared not ask what was going on.


    With his experience in the entertainment industry, Bruce quickly grasped the situation. Why had Lucas suddenly arranged for


    dinner that night not a day earlier orter?


    Bruce felt a chill down his spine as he recalled the trending incident on Twitter involving Marion and Kirk.


    He pondered a means to find an opportunity to express his stanceter. He nudged Kirk with his elbow. Kirk raised his eyebrows,


    nced at Marion, and then shifted his gaze to Lucas.


    Lucas was entirely focused on Marion.


    After the others pulled out their chairs, he led Marion to her seat. Once seated, there were simple introductions and greetings.


    Most of the people in the private room were familiar with Marion. It made her feel even more uneasy.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    After ordering the dishes, Bruce finally found a chance to speak. “Mrs. Craig, | didn’t expect the matter you helped Kirk with to


    be a hot topic. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused by it!”


    The moment Marion heard him call her ‘Mrs. Craig’, her face flushed. She nced at Bruce in embarrassment. “It’s okay, Mr.


    Price. It’s not a big deal.”

    Bruce nudged Kirk under the table. Kirk looked at Marion and spoke, Regardless, it has caused unnecessary trouble for Mr. and


    Mrs. Craig. Let me make amends to the both of you.”


    Despite not being a fan of alcohol, Kirk quickly downed a full ss of white wine. Marion was impressed with his boldness.


    However, she found herself unable to speak freely.


    She could only discreetly reach out and give a gentle Lucas a hint. He had been sitting quietly without saying much. “Mr. Craig,


    Kirk is my friend. What happened this afternoon wasn''t intentional. Can we just let it go?”

    2/2


    The people present tactfully pretended not to see Marion whispering to Lucas.


    Lucas turned slightly to listen to her softly speaking up for Kirk.


    His dark eyes shifted as he watched Kirk who sat across from him.


    Coincidentally, Kirk had also looked their way. Their gazes met in the air—one with a smirk, the other impassively cold. It was like


    a silent sh between kings, where nothing was said or done, yet all could feel the tension in the air.


    Others sat quietly, afraid to move or even breathe too loudly, fearing that they might identally ignite a spark. Bruce pulled


    Kirk''s hand. “Kirk, this person can’t be messed with!”


    Marion thought that Lucas was angry. She was afraid that he would create a scene. She tugged at his sleeve. “Don’t be angry,


    Mr. Craig.”


    Marion was good at soothing people, but with Lucas, she truly struggled. After a brief pause, she managed to force out another


    line. “Anger causes wrinkles. It ages you quickly. Not a good look to have at your age”


    Lucas gently tapped his index finger on the table. “It was an honest mistake. We don’t take it to heart,” he said calmly.


    Kirk smiled. “You''re very generous, Mr. Craig.”


    The people in the room collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Then the manager from Radiant Group’s branding department


    spoke up to change the subject.


    At the same time, the dishes were brought in, and the atmosphere in the private room finally began to lighten up.
