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

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.
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–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, I don’t think I can.”
Was she so shameless as to not care about her dignity?
