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 bing precarious.


    He used to pride himself on being the secretary who understood the boss the best, buttely, 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 g.


    Daniel found it puzzling why Lucas would alter his ns for the event and, more bewildering, why Lucas, who typically attended


    events without apanion, suddenly wanted to bring Mrs. Craig.


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


    possibility.


    The g was hosted by Richmond Corp, which had coborations 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.


    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 resistining to Cassie via WhatsApp.


    Marion: [I thought | 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 ying


    games on the sofa.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Considerate?” he asked.


    Marion, fully engrossed in her game, responded casually, “Very considerate. Everything is prepared, and | 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 cor, smoothly approached Marion’s side, and sat down without disrupting her


    attention.


    Marion, still focused on her game, nced at him, made some room for him to sit on her side, and continued, “Well, | 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, | would have been done for.”


    Marion turned her head and nced 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.
