After hanging up the phone, Cassie wore a pleased expression. A colleague, noticing her joy, could not help but

ask, “What's making you so happy?”

“The anniversary celebration is sorted out, I'm thrilled!” Cassie replied.

Her colleague was taken aback, “Really? Do you know Lucas?”

Cassie did not want to disclose her relationship with Marion to avoid being taken advantage of again in the

future. “I wouldn't say we know each other, just lucky!” she said, pausing. “I've got to go now, | need to get

Marion breathed a sigh of relief and placed the glass on the bedside table, pondering how to broach

After a moment's thought, Lucas emerged from the bathroom, having dried his hair.

“Thinking about something?” Lucas walked up to her, bending down slightly to look at her.

Marion lifted her head and found herself locked in his dark eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she reacted and

schedule. There were complexities involved, and it was not as simple as just making an appearance.

Lucas lowered his head to look at her. “When is it?”

“At the end of the month. She's already had someone deliver the invitation,” Marion explained quickly, worried

he might misunderstand. “It’s okay if you can’t make it. Cassie just askedto check. | understand that your

work is more important.”

A faint smile played on Lucas’s lips. “Mrs. Craig's matters are important too.
