Chapter 140 Do We Have a Problem?
“Why are you apologizing?
Lucas’s brows twitched when he heard her question, and he subtly repositioned his legs.
He adjusted his posture and leaned forward with his elbows on his thighs which brought him closer to
Marion
Marion felt the familiar woody fragrance enveloping her as Lucas’s dominent and assertive aute
surrounded her.
Instinctively, she tried to shift away from him, only to realize that she was sitting at the edge of the
sofa.
It was a miscalculation.
As she regained her composure, she said, “This incident has caused quite a stir and may have harmed
your reputation. I apologize.”
That was the only reason she could think of for Lucas to be upset.

Looking at the embarrassed Marion in front of him, the frustration in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He lowered his eyes, opened the box of mango candies, and took one. He placed it in his mouth.
“Do you really not need my help?” he asked.
Why was he not angry, and why was he eating the candy she gave him?
Marion watched Lucas and could not help but feel sorry for Daniel.
It was like living with a tiger.
She shook her head. “Not for now. I’ve already asked Miley to handle it.”
She thought it best to just say what came to mind.
Marion glanced at her phone and showed Lucas the caller ID, “I need to take this call, Mr. Craig.”
With that, she picked up her phone, and almost left the room.
However, thinking that he had just been concerned about how she would deal with the Althea matter,
she felt a bit petty avoiding him.
After a moment of hesitation, Marion sat back down and answered the call, “Miley?”
“Marion, more and more people are speaking up for you online. I’ve already contacted the charity event
organizers, and they are arranging for public statements. Also, someone recorded the scene in the
dressing room this morning. I’ve obtained the video. We’ll edit it later and post it on Twitter.”

“Oh, by the way, take a screenshot of your medical records and post it online. Just speak the truth in
your wording. I’ve already arranged everything else.”
Althea had accused Marion of using her privileges to replace her. However, if the incident in the
dressing room got out, it would shift the narrative away from Marion.
“Okay.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Also, everyone knows that you and Mr. Craig are a couple. I might need to mention the chemistry
between you two. Is that okay?”
Marion glanced at Lucas. “I need to ask him first.”
“Sure, but I don’t think Mr. Craig would mind. If he did, he wouldn’t have stood up for you today. I have
to go now, busy contacting people for you!”
Miley did not pay much attention to whether Marion heard her and hung up after saying that.
After ending the call, Marion met Lucas’s gaze and was embarrassed. “I might need your help.”
“Sure.”
“It’s just… Miley might need to create an image of us having a genuine relationship…”
Otherwise, Althea might seize the opportunity in that space.
Lucas frowned, and Marion asked quickly, “Is it not a good idea?”
“No.”
He shook his head as he looked at Marion, “Do we not have a genuine relationship?”
Marion was speechless.
Did they even have a relationship?
