Chapter 273 Do You Like Kirk?
Lucas walked over and took a seat on the chair by the dressing table. Marion, feeling awita back,
composed herself, and sat on the edge of the bed. “So, ask away.”
She had not done anything wrong.
At that moment, her phone on the dressing table suddenly lit up. Marion glanced at it, and upon seeing
a message from Cassie, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the phone.
Did Lucas see it?
Her actions were swift, so Lucas should not have noticed, right?
However, reality was cruel. The next second, she heard him chuckle. “Perhaps you should reply to your
friend’s message first. Otherwise, I’m afraid she might have a negative impression of me.
Now, that was awkward.
Should she try to defend Cassie? Well, she could not come up with a good reason to explain Cassie’s
comment about Lucas being a “scumbag.”
“Sorry, Mr. Craig, my friend didn’t mean any harm. She just has some misunderstandings about our
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrelationship.”
Maybe she should explain herself.
Balancing between men and friends was truly tricky.
Just as she was contemplating, her phone lit up again. Unsurprisingly, it was a message from the
surfing enthusiast, Cassie.
“Can I see what misunderstandings your friend has about me?”
How could Marion show him her phone when he had just told Cassie a second ago that everything was
fine as long as she did not catch feelings?
There was no way Lucas could see that!
Marion had never felt so flustered in her life; her breathing quickened. “I–I’ll explain to her right away!”
Then, she quickly tapped on her phone and sent a message to Cassie. [Mr. Craig has clarified
everything with me. It’s not as the rumors say online. I’m a bit busy now. I’ll talk to you later!]
She wished Cassie would stop sending her any more messages, Cassie, or they would both be dead!
After sending the message, Marion shut down her phone. “Hehe. My phone has run out of battery, Mr.
Craig
With that, she tossed her phone into the bed, thinking it should be safe there.

Lucas observed her but did not expose her lie. He said, “Let’s have your fried over for eleine sometime.
There are things I should explain to her in person.”
Marion replied hesitantly, “Sure!”
However, in her mind, she shook her head. ‘Cassie, Tan’t save you from this.”
Not wanting to dwell on the hopeless topic, Marion quickly changed the subject. “Mr. Craig What did
you want to ask me?”
He nodded, his dark eyes fixed on her. “Is Kirk pursuing you?”
“How is that possible? I’m already married!”
Kirk would have to be crazy to pursue her.
Why would Lucas have such an impression?
“So he’s not?” Lucas asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is he?” Marion began to doubt her own judgment under his scrutiny. However, after thinking it over,
everything between Kirk and her was purely professional.
“I don’t mean anything else. I’m just curious.” The familiar words made Marion’s face flush again.
“Do you like Kirk?” Lucas asked.
Marion’s eyes widened. “Is there anything in my behavior that suggests I like Kirk?”
Lucas shook his head. “I was just asking.”
She breathed a sigh of relief.
That was a scary thing to ask off the cuff.
As Lucas unbuttoned his shirt, he continued, “What kind of man do you like?”
Feeling uneasy, Marion answered, “Um, someone I feel a connection with.”
“Oh. So if you feel a connection, you might like Kirk, right?”
Well, if he wanted to interpret it that way, sure.
As Lucas unbuttoned the second button, he suddenly leaned closer. “And what about me? Would you
like me?”
