Chapter 65 Did She Not Care About Her Dignity?


    The lipstick mark...


    While others focused on the contract discussions, nobody dared to step into the battlefield in one corner of the room.


    Kirk''s eyes flickered mysteriously as he stared at the lipstick stain on Lucas’s cor. He held his phone and wore a nonchnt


    smile on his face.


    Marion, who had been discreetly massaging her stomach, sensed that something was amiss.


    She looked first at Kirk and saw his gaze fixed on Lucas. Then, she followed Kirk’s line of sight to Lucas.


    Marion raised her head slightly and saw the boldly revealed lipstick mark on


    Lucas’s cor.


    She felt as if lightning had struck her. Marion’s face turned red. Despite her light makeup for the evening, her fair skin appeared


    rosy on her cheeks.


    Marion quickly nced at the others. Except for Kirk, everyone else seemed to be deeply engaged in the contract discussion. No


    one else had noticed.


    She sighed with relief, as her mind raced to find a solution to cover the lipstick mark. If she raised her hand, everyone at the


    table would surely turn their attention to her. It was human nature to be drawn to movement.


    In her desperation, Marion could only think of letting Lucas handle it himself. Her hand under the table instinctively reached for


    his sleeve. Just as she was about to grab it, Lucas’s hand slid down, and Marion found herself holding a warm, slender finger


    between her thumb and forefinger.


    Marion stiffened for a moment as she realized what she had done. She quickly released her grip. When she raised her head, she


    met Lucas’s deep and


    mysterious eyes.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “I+ didn’t mean to,” she stammered and quickly averted her gaze. She was unsure how to mention the matter of the cor.


    In her haste to look away, she missed the faint smile that appeared on Lucas’s face.


    Kirk, who had been observing the scene, picked up his phone and tapped it on the table.


    With the sudden ‘click’, he caught Bruce’ attention.

    “What''s wrong?” Bruce asked.


    Kirk raised a cup of water, took a sip, and replied, “Nothing, just a little shaky.”


    Bruce did not pay much attention to Kirk. The contract had been reviewed, and the specific terms were discussed earlier. The


    manager from the brand department held the contract, nced at Lucas, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the


    courage to speak. “Mr. Craig, can we sign this contract?”


    Lucas lifted his head but showed no intention of taking the contract. “Yes, go ahead.”


    “Aren''t you going to read it?” The manager asked and instantly regretted it. He quickly signed his name and handed the contract


    back to Bruce.


    Bruce took the contract and asked Kirk to sign it. Kirk then shifted his attention to the document and signed his name on it.


    With the contract signed, the dinner had sessfully concluded for Bruce and Kirk. They exchanged a fewplimentary


    closing remarks and left the private


    room.


    In the room, only Marion, Lucas, the brand manager, and Daniel remained. The brand manager and Daniel exchanged nces.


    Both mutually agreed to be as inconspicuous as possible.


    Feeling uneasy, Marion hinted that she needed the restroom. “Shall we leave?” she asked.


    Lucas nced at her but did not directly respond to her question. “Can you hold on a little longer?” he asked.


    The heat rose in Marion’s face. “No, | don’t think | can.”


    Was she so shameless as to not care about her dignity?
