Chapter 300 Ah, So That’s How It Is!

The engagement banquet did not start so quickly, and Marion arrived neither too early nor too late.

She chose a quiet corner, planning to stay for a while and then leave. But then she encountered

someone familiar.

“Miss Marion, do you remember me?”

Marion certainly remembered him. It was Lucas’s friend, Martin.

“Hello. It’s been a while.”

Having someone familiar around made Marion feel less awkward. Martin smiled, “Didn’t expect you to

still remember me.”

“We’ve met twice.” Her memory was not that bad.

Martin raised his eyebrow. “Is Mr. Lucas too busy to accompany you today?”

Marion nodded, “He’s on a business trip. I forgot to tell him about this event.”

Martin nodded, “No wonder. I was wondering why Lucas would let you come to a place like this on your

own.”

“A place like this?”

Marion found Martin’s words amusing.

“Yeah, a place like this.”

Marion raised an eyebrow, “Oh, I see.”

The two of them did not know each other very well and had little to talk about.

During the engagement, waiters came over to them several times, but Marion did not take any drinks.

She even politely declined the red wine Martin offered, saying, “I can’t handle alcohol.”

“Oh.”

No wonder Lucas advised him to refrain from giving her wine.

It must be said that Marion was fully alert for Ruby and Jameson’s engagement banquet that evening.

She did not drink or eat anything.

Martin admired her. ‘Lucas underestimates his wife. She’s quite vigilant, isn’t she?‘

Time quickly passed as Marion and Martin spoke. The lights on the stage had dimmed, and Marion

quickly found her seat.

She thought, after the ceremony, when things settled down, she would leave.

She had managed to get through the evening without embarrassing herself. She was not sure if Ruby

had achieved that for herself.

As the lights dimmed throughout the venue, Martin noticed a waiter approaching.

He intercepted the waiter. “Are you looking for Miss Marion?”

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and Martin smiled harmlessly, “I’m Miss Marion’s friend. She’s in

the restroom. Look, this is her bag.”

The waiter looked anxious.

Martin was understanding, “Is there something you need?”

After a moment of hesitation, the waiter handed a note to Martin.

“Mr. Royce asked me to give this to Miss Marion. Please make sure she gets it, Sir. It’s very important.

Martin squinted and smiled, “Sure, when she comes back, I’ll give it to her.”

“Please, Sir!” The waiter was still uneasy, as he added another plea. Martin repeated his assurance,

and the waiter reluctantly left but waited nearby.

The event had begun, and the host was active on the stage.

Marion had not gone to the restroom. She was answering a call from Lucas.

As she returned to her seat, Martin handed her a candy, saying, “Don’t worry. It’s my own. Have a

candy.”

Marion raised an eyebrow, “Thank you.”

She tore open the wrapping and found that it was mango–flavored.

Marion was surprised for a moment and glanced at Martin.

“This candy-”

“What’s wrong with the candy? Is it not tasty?”

“It’s delicious.”

She had not expected it to be mango–flavored.

Did Lucas and his friends all like the flavor of the candy?

Martin chuckled. “Lucas gave them to me a few days ago. He said they’re delicious.”

Although he did not know the special significance of this candy, as he watched Marion’s reaction,

Martin feared that if he did not reveal its origin, he would be in trouble.

“Ah, so that’s how it is.”

Marion pushed the candy into her mouth and tasted its sour notes but there was a sweetness in her

heart.

At that moment, something seemed to be happening on the stage.
