Chapter 270
"You have your gown made here, too, Mrs. Quincy?" The woman who had just greeted Noah stepped
forward and eagerly held Madeline's hand.
No matter what was going on in her heart, whether envy, jealousy, or hatred, the joy on this woman's
face showed it.
After all, Madeline knew that most of these rich and famous ladies had a double face. Therefore, she
never revealed her true identity as the owner of the boutique but was simply a good friend of Elise.
Therefore, some women who shouted for a greater refund now praised Elise's good work. Her sewing
skills, they claimed, were excellent.
"This incident is due to our fault. We will not shirk our responsibility, even if you are willing to forgive us.
The affected customers will receive a free gown from Camelot and Hale's joint brand.” After Elise's
explanation, everyone was more than satisfied.
Earlier, Elise told only the customers with a gown worth 5 million dollars and above would be replaced
by the gown of Camelot and Hale. So disappointment had inevitably arisen. But now that they had
given away a free joint brand piece, the dissatisfaction had faded.
"Ms. Quincy, I understand that some international celebrities have been invited to the charity dinner.
Can you tell us who they are?"
Madeline as Chairman of the Charity Association was widely publicized and attributed to Annalise
Solace.
"You'll find out the night after tomorrow." Replied Madeline with a grin. This charity dinner would be on
a grand scale. In addition to many local artists, three international celebrities were invited.
As soon as the news was published, the local artists involved began to publicize the invitation they had
received. The international celebrities were yet to announce, as they were the highlight of the charity
dinner.
"I wish I could have a girl like Mackenzie Grant. She is simply adorable."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You love her, too? You know, I love her a lot! You see, my phone cover and wallpaper had Mackenzie
all over them. How happy I'll be the next time I have a daughter as pretty as her, and I'll be on cloud
nine!"
When women sat together, the topics of conversation could not escape fashion, jewelry, men, or
children. Everyone started joining in as soon as they talked about Mackenzie. Even those who did not
know her were attracted to the chat later.
"The charms of our Princess Zeke run wild." Elise patted Madeline on the shoulder as she shared her
pride.
"That little brat is still living with Rowan, giving me a headache." Madeline had sent her Whatsapp
messages asking her to come home as it was time to do so. But she replied with a "calm down" emoji.
All messages to her were read but not answered.
"I guess Annalise will have a headache instead," Thomas told Elise about her mishap, which Elise was
kind of sorry for Annalise.
The crisis in the boutique has mostly been resolved. It was due to the help of Mr. Lorren and the
presence of Noah.
When Noah learned this, he was relieved. He was now absolutely under the influence of Madeline,
whether happy or sad.
In Quinton Corporation Building, Lucas did not leave after he had reported to Noah. He stood in front of
the desk.
Noah gave a doubtful stare at him. "What's up?"
"You go fighting, and you are not looking out for yourself as a member of the Board of Directors? Lucas
looked at him in confusion.
"No, I didn't," Noah frowned.
"But why did your lips crack?" Lucas was in disbelief.
In return, Noah touched his lips with his slender fingers. He formed a smile as he refreshed his
memory.
"You have a perverse smile."
"You just don’t understand the meaning of sweet and passionate." Noah looked at Lucas and thought
that a man who had been single for so long should not be living a life of love in passion.
"You must be in pain if you drink and eat with chapped lips." Lucas continued.
"I have no problem with that." Noah twisted the corners of his mouth to form a lustful smile.
Looking at Noah, Lucas could not stay with him any longer. Thinking Noah must be in some kind of
fever, he took off after a while.
When Lucas returns to his office, Noah's chapped corners of his mouth and also his smile keep
reappearing in his mind.
The smile was the most sincere he could see. And he had not seen such a smile from Noah since he
was young. In his opinion, Noah would be the same guy as himself who could not manage a sincere
smile.
What changed him? A woman? Yes, it must be Madeline Grant. Or should I call her "Mrs. Director" or
sister-in-law?
"Mr. Lucas, here's your coffee." A cup of strong-smelling coffee came into Lucas' field of vision, and this
coffee hit his taste buds exactly.
Lucas raised his head and stared at Mia, who stood gracefully before him. Mia Parker always had a
friendly smile, and her heart galloped fast.
He did it again. What happened to Lucas today? Was he insane or what? Why did he stare at me
blankly so often?
Was it because Mia had done something wrong? Did he want to replace her with someone else?
Fool, I bet you should think twice before you act. No one out there would bear with your furious temper
if not me.
"Is there anything else you need from me, Mr. Lucas?"
"Have you ever been kissed, Ms. Parker?" Lucas asked her seriously.
Mia had taken aback when she heard that. What kind of question was that? Or had he been smiling at
her as a single woman for so long?
Mia remembered that during the interview, Mr. Lucas had said he needed a secretary who wouldn’t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmspend much time on love and relationships. So she told him she was single. Was that not the reason
why he had chosen her as his secretary?
She had no idea why Mr. Lucas would ask her that question earlier.
Wait. Was Mr. Lucas testing me to see if I was in love behind his back? I am sure that was the case!
Mia did not care after that.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Lucas. I have no intention of getting married and getting into a serious relationship or
anything like that."
"That means you haven’t kissed before." Lucas tapped his slender finger on his chin a few times before
sticking out his tongue and licking the corner of his mouth.
What was this all about? An emotionless boss like Mr. Lucas had seduced her?
It must be an imagination! Mr. Lucas acted against his routine!
"That's right. I haven’t kissed before. If there is nothing else, I will..."
I need Noah's help!
"We could just try." Lucas got up and stepped forward to Ms. Parker.
"Please don't come over!" Mia blurted out.
Nevertheless, Mia remained standing in place. Perhaps it was because of her profession that she
made it so.
"Mr. Lucas, you'd better try with your girlfriend."
"But I don't have a girlfriend." Lucas frowns in distress.
"May I know the reason you are so desperate for this?"
Kissing a guy like Lucas was an awful thing to do!
"I am curious why Noah told me a kiss on a cracked lip is sweet. Isn’t that painful when our lips are
chapped? I guess he must have some kind of taste disorder."
If it did not look like Mr. Lucas was thirsting for an answer, Mia would sue him for sexual harassment!
After all, Mr. Lucas was a novice to love and relationships.
"Mr. Lucas, kissing is sweet when they are in true love. On the contrary, it can even be disgusting."
"Look at you. I’m sure you are sweet." Lucas cast a stern glance at Mia's lips, cherry-pink and fleshy.
Mia's heart was racing at the moment.
