Chapter 148 It Smells So Good
The public lawyer quickly arrived, and the entire process was recorded to preserve legal evidence.
As Marion signed, Lucas stood beside her. A subtle woody fragrance emanated from him, and she
could not quite discern the specific scent.
After signing, she turned to ask Lucas, “Mr. Craig, what cologne do you use? It smells really good.”
It was truly pleasant.
Lucas glanced at her, placed one copy of the agreement inside the desk, and handed the other to
Marion. “Keep this copy.”
The public lawyer had tactfully left, leaving only Marion and Lucas in the study.
Bowing his head, Lucas took a whiff of the fragrance on himself before addressing Marion’s question,
“Is it too strong?”
Marion shook her head, “No, I just think the top and middle notes are quite pleasant, with a subtle
woody undertone.”

At some point, he had bent down, and the scent of cedarwood became even more distinct.
Marion stiffened, cautious not to move. Lucas was right beside her, and when he leaned, he closed the
distance between them. With any small movement from her, she would have easily touched him.
Luckily, Lucas was only reaching down to pick up his phone from the table next to her.
Marion sighed in relief. “It’s really nice.”
“Thank you.”
He casually asked, “Did you check the hot search on Twitter?”
Thinking about his comments, Marion felt shy and her face started heating up. “Yes, I did.”
Lucas looked at his phone and tapped his thumb on the screen. Soon, the page jumped into the
trending topics on Twitter.
The hot search #ImEasytoPlease #confidently held the first place in the trending topics.
As Marion watched Lucas click through the trending topics, she reached out without hesitation and held
Lucas’s hand. “Mr. Craig?”
Lucas first glanced at the hand holding his, then slowly raised his head, and looked at Marion.
He remained silent, but the inquiry in his expression was evident.
Marion blushed at the look he gave her a moment ago and quickly withdrew her hand. “Mr. Craig, can
you do me a favor?”

“What favor?” Lucas set aside his phone and focused on the hand she had extended a moment ago.
Feeling guilty, Marion dared not meet his eyes, oblivious to his subtle observation.
“I have a performance in two months, but I haven’t decided which piece to play. Could you listen to a
few and give me some advice?”
There was truth and falsehood in Marion’s words. She did have a performance in two months, but she
had already decided which piece she would play.

“Sure.”
“Shall we go to the music room now?”
“Yes.”
Marion glanced at his phone. Anyway, after playing for a while, she would casually ask for his opinion
and then return to her room.
If he saw the comments under his post, as long as he did not look at them in front of her, she could
pretend he had not seen them.
They had arrived at the music room. Marion had just taken her seat at the piano when she heard
Lucas’s voice behind her, “I made it to the trending topics.”
He stated it affirmatively, not as a question.
Marion’s hand slipped and she accidentally hit ‘C#’.
As she played, Lucas continued reading the comments:
[I’m easy to please not very amusing.]
[I’m easy to please -in bed]
[Move to another planet!]
