Chapter 197
Chapter 197 Was She Already Bored of Him?
Lucas placed the freshly filleted fish into her bowl of vegetables. “Indeed, it’s not a significant
amount.”
“Thank you.” Marion could not help but feel the difference in the concept of money between wealthy individuals and herself. “Do you need money?”
“Not really.”
“Hmm.” Lucas glanced at her. “If you ever need money, you can talk to me. | can lend it to you.”
“Thanks, but that won't be necessary!”
With the matter reported, the next step was to sign a contract with Kirk.
Kirk's agent and Miley had already negotiated the terms. After lunch, Marion received a call from Miley, reminding her to sign the contract.
Marion was surprised, “So soon?”
“Kirk’s team is pushing for it.”
Marion did not think much about it. “Oh, okay!”
She had initially planned to take a nap, but now she had to change and go out to sign the contract.
Despite the nearly 104-degree heat outside, Marion decided to wear a casual long skirt and flat sandals. She braided her hair into a simple twist and headed out with only sunscreen and lipstick on
her face.
Carrying her bag, she left the room and went downstairs. On her way, she bumped into Lucas heading upstairs. “I'm going out to sign a contract.”
Lucas glanced at her. “I'll drive you.”
Marion wanted to decline, thinking she could take a cab, but he had already walked past her.
She turned and looked at his back, then reluctantly waited downstairs, pouring a glass of water for herself and Lucas. Lucas soon joined her downstairs. He had changed into loose black casual pants and a loose-fitting
shirt of the same color.
Marion observed him coming down and could not help but observe that his legs seemed to go on forever! Lucas reached her side. “Ready.”
Marion put down her glass, picked it up again, and took a sip.
On regular days, Lucas always wore formal suits and looked dignified and restrained.
Marion, although tempted, dared not entertain such thoughts and never dared to offend him.
However, his attire that day transformed him into a carefree nobleman, exuding an elegant charm.
As Marion got into the car, she refrained from looking at Lucas throughout the journey.
The confined space allowed the unique fragrance of wood to occasionally waft over her. It was so tempting to try something naughty.
She stared out the car window, with Lucas’s legs and the fair skin beneath his open shirt collar dominating her thoughts. The journey felt like purgatory.
Fortunately, the meeting place Miley arranged with Kirk was not far. They reached it in just twenty
minutes.
When the car stopped, Marion cast a glance at Lucas and swiftly unbuckled her seatbelt. “I’m about to be late, Mr. Craig. I'll go ahead. If you’re busy, don’t worry about me!”
With that, she dashed towards the elevator.
Watching Marion disappear into the crowd entering the elevator, Lucas’s eyebrows twitched slightly. He lowered his head to glance at his shirt collar.
Perfectly open.
But why did his little rabbit not take a look? Was she already bored of him?
His hand on the steering wheel moved slightly.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Lucas lifted his index finger, tapped it twice, and then raised his hand to leisurely fasten the second button of his shirt. Then he got out of the car and made his way to the elevator.
He was curious to see what tricks Kirk would play.
