Chapter 196 You Seem to Find It Regrettable

Just when Marion thought Lucas was about to kiss her, his warm breath suddenly disappeared.

Marion instinctively opened her eyes, and her gaze met his.

Lucas leaned back as he looked at her with a smile, “You’re right. It might not be appropriate.”

Marion looked at his thin lips, and for some reason, she felt a hint of regret.

The expression on her face was likely too obvious as Lucas observed, “You seem to find it regrettable.”

Startled, Marion quickly denied, “No, it’s not like that, I don’t-I wouldn’t!”

Lucas smiled meaningfully, “Hmm.”

Feeling guilty, Marion blurted out, “I’ll go practice the piano!”

Without waiting for his response, she ran upstairs to the piano room.

Her heart pounded rapidly as if it could burst out of her chest at any moment. Marion covered her

flushed cheeks and took a moment to calm herself.

Oh, she had indeed changed.

She had started thinking about men in ‘that’ way.

Shaking her head, she gathered her thoughts, placed her hands on the piano keys, and began to play

Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

Gradually, Marion immersed herself in the music, practicing the piano for three hours until her fingers

began to ache. As she massaged her fingers, she checked her phone and found several messages

from Cassie.

Cassie: [Someone captured a photo of you and Mr. Craig last night. It looks amazing!]

Cassie sent a couple of screenshots to accompany her message.

Cassie: [This photo of you two is spreading in the industry. What happened last night is also getting

attention. Ruby and Jameson look like a fake couple compared to you two!]

Cassie: [Ruby is going to be furious this time! Hahaha!]

The messages were sent two hours ago.

Marion downloaded the photos, and as she zoomed in, her face uncontrollably heated up.

Cassie was right. The pictures captured their emotions perfectly!

One photo captured the moment when she ran towards Lucas and threw herself into his arms. Lucas

had worn a black suit, held an umbrella with one hand, and held her at the waist. He was looking down

at her while her dress fluttered, and their eyes met. Although the photo was frozen, it was

romantic.

The other picture showed Lucas embracing her as they walked away in the pouring rain.

The photos had a dark hue, as they were surrounded by the chilly rain and the pitch-black night.

However, it was precisely the cold and dark contrast that highlighted the warmth she and Lucas shared

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It startled Marion and she dropped her phone on the floor.

She quickly bent down to pick up her phone, as she glanced at Lucas who stood at the door.

“Ronda said lunch is ready.”

“Oh, okay, I’ve finished practicing too.”

She held her phone and discreetly placed it behind her back.

Lucas glanced at the phone behind her, and his black eyes narrowed. “Shall we have lunch?”

“Sure.”

Marion stood up, closed the piano, and followed Lucas downstairs.

After washing their hands, Marion took the sheet music for the two songs Kirk had sent her.

It dawned on her that she had been so absorbed with Lucas that morning that she had forgotten to

mention her work with Kirk

As Mrs. Bailey served the dishes, Marion glanced at Lucas who sat opposite her.

“By the way, I took on a part-time job.”

Hearing this, Lucas looked at her, signaling her to continue.

“Kirk is going to have a concert tour next month, and the first stop is here. He invited me to be the

accompanying guest pianist for two songs.”

“Is the pay high?”

Thinking about the three million, Marion could not help but smile, “Not really that high. But, you know,

playing the piano for ten minutes and earning three million, it’s easy money!”

After speaking, she realized she might sound too money-focused and quickly added, “Of course, it’s

not just about the money. I mainly want to experience the atmosphere of the concert!”

Yes, that was it! She just wanted to participate in the concert!
