Chapter 367 So Nervous
Marion had just finished searching on Google to find out what would be an appropriate gift to take to Lucas’s uncle and aunt when Lucas’s message came through: [No need to bring a gift tonight. I’ve already arranged it. Don’t worry, my uncle and aunt have always respected my choices.]
Marion raised an eyebrow and sent a reply: [So you knew all along…]
Lucas quickly replied: [In this aspect, I have more experience than you.]
Marion was puzzled: [Experience?“]
Lucas explained: [You remember how I wasn’t nervous about meeting your Dad, right?]
Marion raised an eyebrow again, and was about to send him a reply but then remembered he was in a meeting: [Aren’t you in a meeting?]
Lucas replied: [Yes. The manager is giving a report. So boring.]
Marion teased: [You should focus on the meeting!]
The employees at Radiant not only knew about Lucas attending meetings but also hoped he would
slack off the entire time.
Despite his relaxed demeanor while replying to messages from Marion, as soon as he put down his phone, he had an intense aura that would make anyone cower. How could they withstand such pressure?
The manager who was presenting, froze when Lucas suddenly looked at him. “Mr. Craig, is there any issue?”
Lucas coldly stared, “Do I need to tell you if there’s a problem?”
The manager turned pale, feeling that his job might be on the line.
Marion sighed as she stared at Lucas’s recent messages. She could not help but think that when she was with Lucas, she was becoming someone who barely served a purpose..
To avoid feeling useless, she decided to spend a couple of hours practicing the piano to relieve her
stress.
After lunch, Marion gave Mrs. Bailey the evening off since she would not be needed for dinner. Lucas returned at half–past five, and just as Marion finished her piano practice, she heard footsteps on the stairs. Hurrying to the stairwell, she found Lucas in a sharp suit.
“You’re back!”
She walked over and plunged into his embrace.
“How long did you practice?“!
“More than two hours.”

She rubbed against his chest. “What time should we go to your uncle’s place?”
“No rush, let’s go around six.”
“Oh, it’s already half past five! I need to put on some makeup!”
“No need for makeup.”
He smiled and hooked an arm around her waist while the other massaged her fingers.
“I want to put on makeup!”
It was her first time meeting his uncle so how could she not wear makeup? With little time left, she quickly left his embrace. “I’ll go do my makeup and change my clothes!”
Lucas had not said anything in response as he watched Marion rush into the master bedroom.
With limited time, Marion only did a simple makeup routine, using a cushion foundation for her base, as she darkened her eyebrows to look more spirited.
