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 becoming precarious.
He used to pride himself on being the secretary who understood the boss the best, but lately, 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 gala.
Daniel found it puzzling why Lucas would alter his plans for the event and, more bewildering, why Lucas, who typically attended events without a companion, suddenly wanted to bring Mrs. Craig.
Holding the invitation in his office, Daniel contemplated the situation. Eventually, he deduced a
possibility.
The gala was hosted by Richmond Corp, which had collaborations 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 resist complaining to Cassie via WhatsApp.
Marion: [I thought I would get a chance to shine, but turns out, it’s all for nothing.]
