The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 65 Did She Not Care About Her Dignity? The lipstick mark... While others focused on the contract discussions, nobody dared to step into the battlefield in one corner of the room.

Kirk's eyes flickered mysteriously as he stared at the lipstick stain on Lucas’s collar. He held his phone and wore a nonchalant smile on his face.

Marion, who had been discreetly massaging her stomach, sensed that something was amiss.

She looked first at Kirk and saw his gaze fixed on Lucas. Then, she followed Kirk’s line of sight to Lucas. Marion raised her head slightly and saw the boldly revealed lipstick mark on

Lucas’s collar.

She felt as if lightning had struck her. Marion’s face turned red. Despite her light makeup for the evening, her fair skin appeared rosy on her cheeks.

Marion quickly glanced at the others. Except for Kirk, everyone else seemed to be deeply engaged in the contract discussion. No one else had noticed.

She sighed with relief, as her mind raced to find a solution to cover the lipstick mark. If she raised her hand, everyone at the table would surely turn their attention to her. It was human nature to be drawn to movement.

In her desperation, Marion could only think of letting Lucas handle it himself. Her hand under the table instinctively reached for his sleeve. Just as she was about to grab it, Lucas’s hand slid down, and Marion found herself holding a warm, slender finger between her thumb and forefinger.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Marion stiffened for a moment as she realized what she had done. She quickly released her grip. When she raised her head, she met Lucas’s deep and

mysterious eyes.

“I+ didn’t mean to,” she stammered and quickly averted her gaze. She was unsure how to mention the matter of the collar. In her haste to look away, she missed the faint smile that appeared on Lucas’s face.

Kirk, who had been observing the scene, picked up his phone and tapped it on the table.

With the sudden ‘click’, he caught Bruce’ attention.

“What's wrong?” Bruce asked.

Kirk raised a cup of water, took a sip, and replied, “Nothing, just a little shaky.”

Bruce did not pay much attention to Kirk. The contract had been reviewed, and the specific terms were discussed earlier. The manager from the brand department held the contract, glanced at Lucas, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the courage to speak. “Mr. Craig, can we sign this contract?”

Lucas lifted his head but showed no intention of taking the contract. “Yes, go ahead.”

“Aren't you going to read it?” The manager asked and instantly regretted it. He quickly signed his name and handed the contract back to Bruce.

Bruce took the contract and asked Kirk to sign it. Kirk then shifted his attention to the document and signed his name on it.

With the contract signed, the dinner had successfully concluded for Bruce and Kirk. They exchanged a few complimentary closing remarks and left the private

room.

In the room, only Marion, Lucas, the brand manager, and Daniel remained. The brand manager and Daniel exchanged glances. Both mutually agreed to become as inconspicuous as possible.

Feeling uneasy, Marion hinted that she needed the restroom. “Shall we leave?” she asked. Lucas glanced at her but did not directly respond to her question. “Can you hold on a little longer?” he asked. The heat rose in Marion’s face. “No, | don’t think | can.”

Was she so shameless as to not care about her dignity?
