Chapter 400 Could She Be Overthinking?
Listening to Kirk’s comforting words, Marion felt even more guilty.
She blamed Miley for all of this. Otherwise, she would not have spent the whole afternoon wondering if Kirk liked her!
“What’s troubling you? Tell me, and maybe I can help clear things up,” Kirk said, raising an eyebrow
at her.
Marion took another sip of water, lifted her head slightly, and looked at him. “It’s nothing. I just need to adjust.”
She paused for a moment. “Kirk, can I ask you a bold question?”
While she was not one to pry into others‘ privacy, Marion felt that if she did not resolve this question, she would not be able to focus on filming this afternoon.
“What kind of question requires the word ‘bold‘?” Kirk joked.
“Personal questions,” Marion replied, embarrassed.
At her direct answer, Kirk was clearly taken aback. Then, he lowered his head, staring at the ore in his hand. “Go ahead.”
Had she caught on so soon and was going to reject him?
He tugged at the corner of his lips, waiting for Marion’s judgment.
“Well, do you have someone you like?” Marion thought for a long time, feeling that this question was slightly more dignified.

He looked at her, pondering whether her question was gossip or a test.
Marion felt guilty under his gaze, pursed her lips, and awkwardly laughed. “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer. My friend is your fan, and I’m just gossiping for her sake.“.
“But please just say something! This is so awkward!” Marion pleaded, feeling the discomfort rising.
Kirk looked at her embarrassment and chuckled lightly, “I do have someone I like.”
“Really?” Marion’s eyes widened subconsciously, her expression genuinely surprised.
However, after the initial shock wore off, she felt a bit uneasy.
Chapter 450 Could She Be Overthinking?
Could she be the one Kirk liked? She was married, though!
Marion’s heart raced, not with excitement, but with nervousness and apprehension.
She tightly squeezed the bottle of mineral water in her hand, “Why haven’t I heard about this? Are you pursuing her?”
She blinked, trying hard to maintain her facade of being curious about gossip.
Seeing her struggling to pretend, Kirk suddenly felt sorry for her. He finished the water in his bottle and tilted his head back. “I am pursuing her. If I succeed, I’ll invite you to the wedding.
“Take your time, and don’t stress too much. I’ll go talk to the director.”
With that, Kirk turned and left. As he departed, he crushed the empty bottle of mineral water in his hand.
Marion watched his retreating figure and let out a small sigh. She knew Kirk could not possibly like her!
She shifted her gaze and gestured to Miley,
