Chapter 243 Even The Single Guy is Envious
“Oh, I forgot to ask. What do you want as a business trip gift?”
Marion was stunned for a moment and reacted, instinctively wanting to decline. However, recalling
Lucas’s words about how Daniel picked a gift for his girlfriend last time, she understood she had to
accept this business trip gift, whether she wanted to or not.
After a moment of thought, she said, “Is mango candy okay?”
The man looked at her and chuckled. “You like it that much?”
She blushed, “Well, I just wanted to try mango candy from different places.”
“Sure.”
Perhaps it was her imagination, but Marion felt that Lucas’s “sure” was gentle and indulgent.
Oh no, she was falling for it.
That night, Marion dreamt of a “mango–flavored” kiss.

realizing it was just a dream.
It was so realistic, though!
Marion rubbed her face, thinking about the lingering kiss in her dream, her heart pounding.
The alarm on her phone was still ringing. She picked it up, turned it off, and took. a moment for herself
before getting out of bed to freshen up,
Lucas was going on a business trip, and Mrs. Craig had to send him off!
Lucas’s flight was at nine in the morning, meaning he had to leave by seven.
Marion usually set her alarm for six. However, today, she had to wake up earlier, and she yawned non–
stop after washing up.
On the contrary, Lucas looked energetic. She wondered when he had slept last night.
“Why are you awake so early?”
“To send you off.”
Marion yawned, looking exhausted.

Since it was earlier than usual, Mrs. Bailey could not make it in time to prepare breakfast, so Daniel
arranged for it to be delivered.
Lucas did not expect Marion to be up. There was only one portion of breakfast, and he placed the
porridge in front of her.
Marion waved her hand. “I’m not eating. I’m going back to bed after you leave.”
“Mr. Craig, Valentine’s Day is next week. Are we celebrating together?” Still half- asleep, she blurted
out without thinking.
Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Do you want to celebrate together?”
“Up to you…” She yawned again.

Lucas finished breakfast quickly. Seeing her yawning continuously, he suggested she go back to sleep.
“No way. You’re leaving for a week. If Daniel sees that I didn’t send you off, it won’t look good!” Marion
argued.
As she spoke, the doorbell rang.
“Car’s here, Mr. Craig!”
Outside, Daniel and the driver were already waiting.
Lucas glanced at her before picking up his suitcase and putting on his shoes at the entrance.
Marion followed him to the villa’s entrance. Before getting in the car, Lucas turned to her. “Alright, go
back to sleep now.”
Daniel took the suitcase and placed it in the car’s trunk. Marion looked at the driver and then at Daniel.
She hesitated and eventually hugged Lucas. “Have a safe trip.”
His pleasant woody scent made her reluctant to let go. Marion sniffed a bit and felt a little attached.
However, she dared not show it and quickly let go, waving at Lucas. “See you in seven days!”
Inside the car, Liam watched the scene and could not help but sigh. “Mr. and Mrs. Craig have such a
good relationship.”
Daniel looked at them and agreed. “Yeah.”
Even this single guy could not help but envy them.
