Chapter 230 The Apple of Mr. Craig’s Eye
Marion woke up close to eleven the next day and realized she was still wearing the dress from the night
before. The events of last night gradually replayed in her mind.
At the time, she was sober, and her rationality was intact, but why did she still find herself hugging and
kissing Lucas?
It was definitely the alcohol’s doing, emboldening her.
Despite feeling embarrassed by her absurd actions, Marion did not regret it.
She blamed it on Cassie, the bad influence.
As she rubbed her face, her stomach rumbled, expressing its emptiness.
Marion quickly got out of bed, and while getting changed, she discovered that her dress zipper was
open!
Did she forget to zip it up when she attended the party last night?
That could not be right because she had double–checked, and the zip was up. Yet now, after a night’s
sleep, it was open!
Since only Lucas and she were at home last night, and she fell asleep halfway, it was highly likely that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas had undone the zipper.
The thought turned Marion’s face red with embarrassment.
Despite that, she could not help but think Lucas was a good person. If she were in his place, unzipping
the dress might lead to something beyond control.
He was truly a gentleman.
It was unfortunate that he had to be with her.
Marion pinched her cheek, forcing herself to dispel inappropriate thoughts, and quickly went to take a
shower.
When she went downstairs, Mrs. Bailey had already prepared lunch. Since today was a workday,
Lucas would not be back for lunch.
Marion breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she was sober, she did not have the face to meet Lucas.
After lunch, she dared not go back to sleep again. Instead, she hurried to the piano room to practice
the piano for the afternoon.
In Radiant Group’s Chairman’s office, Daniel could tell that Lucas was in a good
mood today.
Though unsure why, a happy Mr. Craig made presenting documents in his office
a less formal affair.
“Mr. Craig, I’ve found the information you asked for.”
Lucas looked up, and the hand holding the pen paused. “Who did it?”
“It might be a mistake.”
Daniel handed the documents to Lucas. “The wine was spiked, but it wasn’t intended for Mrs. Craig.
She mistakenly took it.”
The drugged wine was supplied by William Zurich and his friends, who were planning to have some
fun.
Last night, each of them brought a date with the intention of sleeping with them after they left. Since
they were all inexperienced, afraid their companions might not be up for it, they had someone slip in a
bit of aphrodisiac.
The wine was not specifically meant for Marion. A waiter happened to pass by, and she took a glass.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot wanting to give away their plan, the waiter stayed silent.
Besides, it was just for some extra excitement, nothing major. It would wear off in a couple of hours.
Lucas, naturally, never suspected anyone would have the audacity to make a move on Marion right in
front of him.
Still, being cautious by nature, he would not let it slide without a thorough. investigation.
Now that the investigation results were in, the matter was considered resolved.
“Okay. It’s sorted.”
Done with reading the documents, Lucas handed them back to Daniel.
Daniel nodded and took the documents. Suddenly, a spark of insight hit him. He seemed to understand
why Lucas was in such a good mood today.
William Zurich had inadvertently done a good deed while carrying out his mischief.
Daniel dared not dwell on the couple’s private life. He hurriedly took the documents out to shred.
However, he realized that Lucas’s mood was closely related to Marion. It seemed Mrs. Craig was truly
the apple of Mr. Craig’s eyes!
