Chapter 208 They Envy You
Lucas remained silent, and Marion, feeling hungry, focused on nibbling her chicken wings.
Marion preferred eating in small, deliberate bites, and while the man at the table ate with refined
manners, he finished before she was even halfway through her meal. It was not a big deal.
After all, everyone ate at their own pace. However, Lucas did not leave the table after finishing. Instead,
he sat there, watching her.
Marion did not assume that Lucas was looking at her because her eating habits were appealing.
Perhaps Lucas stayed seated out of courtesy and etiquette, waiting for her. To accommodate him, she
instinctively sped up her eating pace. After the final bite, Marion finally sighed with relief and looked at
Lucas across the table. “I’m full, Mr. Craig.”
“Hmm.” Lucas nodded, raising his hand to place his phone in front of her. “A friend sent me this.”
“What is it?” Marion thought it might be a beautiful scenic video, but when she opened it, it was a
recording of her throwing a cup of tea at Janice. After that, she had scolded Janice quite severely.
Splashing tea and scolding someone felt satisfying at the time, but now, seeing the recorded video,

She feigned composure, lifted her head, took a sip of soup, and then looked at Lucas. “Sorry, Mr. Craig.
I have a bit of a temper. I couldn’t control myself.”
She could not help but justify herself, “I’m not usually like that.” Marion did not typically resort to such
behavior. It was just that Janice had been particularly irritating today.
Lips pursed, Marion lowered her head, sincerely admitting her mistake, “I apologize. I won’t do this
again next time.”
“Why not?” Lucas raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
‘What does that mean?‘ Marion wondered.
Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Lucas’s eyes and brows moved slightly as he casually remarked, “Too
light.”
“Are you saying I didn’t do enough?” Marion asked.
“Well…yes” Lucas responded.
Upon hearing that, Marion had a sudden realization, “I also think I didn’t do that well today! Don’t worry,
I’ll make sure to do better next time!”
After her impulsive words, Marion realized she might have gone too far. She quickly retreated,
cautiously asking, “But, is it appropriate for me to treat people like that?”
“What’s wrong with it?” Lucas inquired.

“It was a bit callous,”
It was not that extreme, but it was not ideal either.
“Who says so?” Lucas challenged her.
“In our social circle, people might say that, right?” Marion blinked.
“Oh, they envy you, that’s all,” Lucas stated.
Marion pondered that and found that she agreed with him. “What about you, Mr. Craig? What do you
think?”
Lucas observed her for a moment, “You were quite cute.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarion was surprised. Her face slightly warmed, and she said, “Thank you.” Afterward, she picked up
Lucas’s phone and handed it back to him.
Lucas took the phone, and at that moment, the previously dimmed screen suddenly lit up. Marion
immediately noticed that the screensaver was a photo of the two of them in the rain a few days ago!
How did Lucas have that picture? And why did he set it as his screensaver? Marion stared at the man
opposite her in shock.
Lucas looked at her widened eyes and casually placed the phone aside. “Any other questions?” he
asked.
Blushing, Marion pointed at his phone. “Your phone screensaver photo…”
“Is there a problem?” Lucas inquired.
After struggling for a while, Marion finally managed to say, “Isn’t it a bit too intimate?”
“Not at all,” Lucas replied, then proceeded to unlock the phone. This time, the photo of her rushing into
Lucas’s arms was laid bare in front of both of them.
“I really like this photo,” he said.
‘I like it too,‘ Marion thought to herself.
