After sorting out her thoughts, Marion began to restrain her feelings for Lucas and tried not to stare at

and leaned against the wall by the door. “I need three suits, two casual outfits, and two sets of
pajamas.”
Hearing his instructions, Marion turned and glanced at him. “Got it.”
She walked up to the transparent wardrobe, unabashedly examining all of Lucas’s clothes.
Most were black and white, neatly hanging dozens of custom–made suits inside the main cabinet. The
side cabinet held casual wear, and the ties were as diverse as a department store. It left Marion
overwhelmed.
There was even a special cabinet for cufflinks and tie clips, the exquisite ones. hinting at their
considerable value.
It was the first time Marion realized that men could have so many clothes.
With so many clothes, she almost got dizzy. Matching suits and ties was a delicate matter; she worried
