Chapter 426 | Got Distracted

Marion blinked and hurried over, her gaze falling on the neckline in front of him and then down. “Do

you need help with your tie?”

Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly and lifted the hand with the tie, smiling at her. “Well, thank you,

Mrs. Craig.”

Marion felt awkward as she took the tie from his hand. She had always thought Lucas was tall, but

she had not felt it until she was standing in front of him with the tie in her hand now.

She stood at 56“, which was considered not tall but not short either, yet she still had to tiptoe to

properly tie Lucas’s tie.

That was the second tshe had helped Lucas with his tie. The last time, she had been so nervous

that she tied it too loosely, and it looked messy. She wanted to adjust it, but she was too shy. With

the scent of wood lingering, her hands were trembling, so she had to give up.

Now that they were more familiar with each other, although she was still a little shy, Marion’s

performance was much better than the last time. She neatly tied the tie and even reached out to

straighten his shirt collar before she was done.

As she stepped back, her index finger accidentally brushed against the man’s neck. Marion’s pinky

trembled, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

“All set.”

She curled her pinky, feeling her face heating up.

“Thank you, Mrs. Craig.”

Lucas smirked and looked at her teasingly.

Feeling embarrassed, Marion said, “You should head to work now.”

He chuckled and did not tease her further. “Alright.”

With that, Lucas took one last glance at her again and then turned to leave through the front door.

Marion subconsciously took a couple of steps after him. At the door, she watched as he disappear around the

corner of the garden before finally tearing her gaze away and walking back into the villa.

Just as she took a few steps back, Marion noticed Ronda standing in the living room, looking at her.

“Madam, are you ready for breakfast now?”

Marion touched her still-warm cheeks and nodded. “Yes, I'm ready. Could you prepare sporridge, Ronda?”

“Of course, Madam. I'll go get it ready for you.”

Ronda smiled and turned to head toward the kitchen.

Lucas was noticeably busier since September started, and Marion did not want to procrastinate anymore. She

had Miley book scommercial performances for her.

There were less than two weeks left until the jet ski race in Lester City that Amber had mentioned. Marion had

not paid much attention to it, but someone kept reminding her.

While discussing overseas commercial performances with Miley on the phone, Marion received a

sudden text message. At first, she thought it was spam and instinctively tried to swipe it away.

However, as she did, she caught sight of the n“Prince,” and it made her frown.

She exited the page and opened the message. [Miss Cartier, | heard Prince bought a Yamaha AR195

jet ski last month. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a gift for his sweetheart. Miss Cartier, you

might

want to keep an eye on the news lately.]

Even without a signature, Marion could tell who had sent the message.

She pursed her lips, unable to focus on what Miley was saying on the other end of the line.

Miley clearly noticed her distraction: After half a minute of talking without getting a response from

Marion, she stopped. “Mar?”

Hearing Miley calling her, Marion snapped out of her thoughts. “I’m listening. Sorry, 1 got

distracted. Could you repeat that, Miley?”

Despite being on the phone, Miley could sense something was off. “Are you okay, Mar?”
