Chapter 297 He Was Indulging Me!
After lunch, Marion tactfully announced that she was heading back to the villa.
Lucas was about to arrange for the driver to take her, but Marion quickly declined. “I’ll take the subway
back. If it’s troublesome every time, I wouldn’t want to bother coming over.”
Her statement successfully deterred Lucas from insisting on the driver, “Alright, take care.”
“See you at home.”
Lucas personally escorted her to the company entrance and watched her until he could no longer see
her, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
The receptionists witnessed the scene and exchanged glances among themselves. They had quickly
categorized Mrs. Craig as the VIP among VIPS. There could be no mistake in that!
After exiting the elevator, Lucas walked past Daniel’s office and knocked on the glass. “Daniel, come
into my office.”
Daniel panicked. ‘Am I done for? Had Mrs. Craig complained about me?‘
But he had no choice! Mrs. Craig rarely visited, and if he had not found a way to keep her there, his
days as Lucas’s assistant were numbered!
Daniel felt uneasy, but he did not show it on his face. He tried to comfort his assistant, “Don’t overthink
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit. Mr. Craig isn’t that kind of person.”
Yet, Daniel was uneasy as he made his way to Lucas’s office. After entering the office and seeing
Lucas sitting on the sofa, he asked, “Mr. Craig?”
“Do you have digestive pills?”
Daniel was stunned, “Yes, I have them in my drawer. Do you need one?”
“Yeah.”
“Let me get one for you!”
Daniel left the office in shock. He had been with Lucas for many years, and it was the first time he saw
Lucas overeat!
Was it because Mrs. Craig’s cooking was exceptionally delicious? That could not be it! Lucas was not a
person with extravagant tastes. Food was just a means of sustenance for him. Then, why had he
overeaten? Was it because of love? Of course, that must be it!
Daniel returned to his office, raised his thumb at his anxious assistant, and said, “All good!”
Indeed, when it comes to Mrs. Craig, one should not try to understand Mr. Craig using conventional
thinking!
The assistant was bewildered, “What do you mean, Mr. Florrick?”

Daniel took the digestive pills and said, “I’ll tell you later!”
Seeing the digestive pills in Daniel’s hands, the assistant was also surprised, “No way, are those for Mr.
Craig?”
“Yes!”
Daniel responded and hurriedly returned to the CEO’s office, “Mr. Craig, here are the digestive pills you
requested.”
Lucas glanced at Daniel as he took the pills. “Inform the company that in the future, when my wife
comes to the company, do not disturb her.”
His ‘bunny‘ was so timid. He did not want her to be scared away.
Daniel understood. “Alright. Got it, Mr. Craig.”
Daniel could not help but envy Mrs. Craig. It was the first time he had seen Mr. Craig being so caring
towards someone!
The villa was not far from the company. It was only five subway stops away, taking about fifteen
minutes. After getting off the subway, Marion hailed a cab, and within half an hour, she was home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon arriving home, Marion sent a message to Lucas, letting him know she had arrived safely: [I’m
home!]
Marion did not expect Lucas to reply. After all, he was a busy man. She changed into her pajamas and
then noticed her phone lighting up.
Huh?
Unlocking her phone, Marion found a reply from Lucas: [Good girl.]
Marion’s face flushed, and her heart pounded. Was it her imagination?
How did Marion interpret Lucas’s indulgence in that message?
‘Don’t let your imagination run wild, Marion!‘ she chided herself.
However, she could not control her thoughts. She tried and failed to resist taking a screenshot to send
to Cassie.
[Cassie! Today I delivered lunch to Lucas. After getting home, I sent him a message to let him know I
arrived safely, and he replied with ‘good girl‘. Do you think he’s indulging me?]
Cassie: [I think he is]
Marion: [Thank you, I’m all sobered up]
Cassie: [What do you mean?]
What had she just said? How had she sobered up?
Oh no! You’re in trouble, Mr. Craig!
