Chapter 319 What Was She Doing Here?


    Marion sighed, “It’s nothing, are you going back to the officeter?”


    Seeing Marlon’s expression, Cassie could not be at ease leaving for the office, “What’s wrong? Did


    something happen?”


    “Nothing, what’s wrong with me?”


    Cassie pursed her lips, “You know you’re not good at lying”


    Marion certainly knew she could not lie, but in public, if she could not hold back her tears, it would be


    embarrassing.


    The past few days she kept wondering whether Lucas knew she liked him and if he would dislike her.


    She wanted to know the answer but was also afraid of it.


    His eyes seemed capable of seeing through her, and Marion feared that she might unintentionally


    reveal everything, so she tried to avoid him as much as possible.


    In the afternoon, when she received his message saying he would not be home for dinner, she felt


    relieved.


    She had not expected to run into him having dinner with Amber.


    There should not be anything amiss with that but for some reason, she felt so wronged.


    Sensing her distress, Cassie asked, “Did Lucas say something to you?”


    Marion shook her head as she bit her lip, “I just saw Lucas.”


    “Why do you feel so wronged when you see him?”


    “He came in with Amber.”


    Cassie was silenced by her words. “So, are you jealous?”


    “Am I not allowed to be jealous?”


    After saying it out loud, Marion’s emotions calmed down.


    “It’s not that you can’t, but I just think it’s unnecessary.”


    Marion felt better after expressing her feelings.


    Cassie sighed, “You’re thedy of the house now, and you’re afraid of what might happen? Why?”


    Marion knew she was being cowardly, “I don’t know, I’m just scared.”


    Cassie looked at her, understanding why Marion was afraid.


    Jameson had dealt her a heavy blow, and such trauma did not go away so easily.


    As a good friend, Cassie could not think of a solution for now. Maybe she should talk to Lucas?


    Thinking of the man’s ley demeanor towards others, Cassic shivered at the thought. She was not


    Marion. She would not receive any special treatment.


    Because Amber and Lucas came to eat there, Marlon lost her appetite and became quieter. She


    seemed like a wilted flower with her head hanging low.

    Seeing her like that, Cassie suggested going to the riverside to rxter. Marion absentmindedly


    agreed, “Okay.”


    Seeing Marion in such a state, Cassic decided to settle the bill herself, “I’ll go settle the bill. You can


    wait for me at the entrance.


    “Alright.”


    Marion picked up her bag and, as she stood up, she nced upstairs.


    It had been over forty minutes. What could they be talking about? Did they have that much to discuss,


    even more than she did with Cassie? The thought made her feel even worse.


    “How about I take you upstairs to see what’s going on?”


    “Is that okay?”


    Despite what she said, deep down, she was feeling restless.


    Cassie clicked her tongue and pulled Marion upstairs.


    There were twelve private rooms on the next floor, and searching them one by one would offend


    people. Just as they were passing by, Cassie gged down a passing waiter, “Excuse me, where is Mr.


    Craig’s private room?”


    For someone like Lucas, the restaurant staff would be attentive to his needs. The waiter nced at the


    two of them and seemed to misunderstand, “I don’t know who you mean who that is.”


    “Oh, you-”


    Cassie attempted to stop the waiter again but she had walked away.


    At the same time, the door of a private room on their right suddenly opened.


    Lucas walked out of the room.


    Marion stood there, locking eyes with the man’s dark gaze, and her mind went nk.


    What right did she have? What was she doing here?
