Chapter 215 You’re Amazing, Mr. Craig!
Daniel followed closely behind Lucas, not daring to breathe too loudly, afraid of causing any disturbance. Lucas stopped abruptly and called his name, “Daniel.”
Daniel was taken aback and quickly approached Lucas with his files. “Mr. Craig?”
“Tonight is Alice’s birthday. Prepare a gift, and place it on my desk in two hours,” Lucas instructed.
Daniel had prepared himself for criticism but never anticipated that Lucas would ask him to prepare a birthday gift for Alice. For a moment, he was slow to react, and he asked a foolish question, “Mr. Craig, should Mrs. Craig be informed about this matter?”
Daniel regretted his question as soon as he asked it.
Regardless of whether Lucas would engage in morally questionable actions or not, as his secretary, he should turn a blind eye to such matters.
Lucas stared at him with his dark eyes, “What do you think, Daniel?”
Daniel was dumbfounded. How should he answer such a life–or–death question?
He had been with Lucas for so many years, and as far as he could assert, there was hardly any
interaction between Lucas and Marion before that car accident.
Could someone fall so deeply in love without much interaction? Was the power of love at first sight so strong? But Lucas did not seem like someone who would fall in love at first sight.
Daniel went through all the possibilities in his mind and tentatively said, “I think Mrs. Craig should be informed. What do you think, Mr. Craig?”
Lucas gave him a disdainful look, “If she knows, why ask?”
With that, Lucas walked into the elevator. Daniel wiped his forehead, feeling as if he had just escaped death. It was terrifying!
Within two hours, preparing a ‘thoughtful‘ birthday gift was a challenging task for Marion.
However, for the versatile secretary, it was a manageable assignment.
Lucas had instructed Daniel to have the gift on his desk before 5:30 pm, but Daniel had already placed the well–packed gift on Lucas’s desk by 5:00 pm.
“Mr. Craig, this is the birthday gift for Miss Alice that you asked me to prepare. It’s a new model from Mystara House, the Diamond Grid Bag,” Daniel reported.
Lucas, indifferent to the specific gift, replied, “Understood.”
Daniel then tactfully exited the office. Twenty minutes later, Lucas left the office carrying the bag, as
he headed back to the villa.
Marion had not expected Lucas to return so quickly.

While applying her makeup, she was startled by a knock on the door.
Her hand trembled, causing her false eyelashes to be applied incorrectly. She had no choice but to discard them and then went to answer the door.
As expected, Lucas stood at the door. He handed her a bag as if delivering a report, “The gift for Alice!
Taking the bag, Marion sincerely praised him, “Wow, Mr. Craig, you’re amazing!”
“Daniel arranged it.”
