Chapter 241 Why Would I Hide from You? 

Mrs. Bailey hastened her actions upon hearing this. “It’s almost done, Madam. Give me five minutes!” 

“No problem. I was just asking.” 

It must be tough on Mrs. Bailey. She could not find any other excuse to escape. 

After sorting out her thoughts, Marion began to restrain her feelings for Lucas and tried not to stare at him with infatuation all the time. 

It’s tough to control mere feelings, though! Despite her efforts, Marion’s progress was quite poor. 

Especially after realizing her growing fondness for Lucas, being around him did not feel as natural as before. Several times, she could not endure it and simply made an excuse to run away. 

– 

Just when Marion was struggling in her infatuation, good news finally arrived- Mr. Craig had a business trip! 

It was not a short one, either–seven days! 

Finally, a breath of relief! 

The night before Lucas’s business trip, Marion did not avoid people like the previous days. 

Lucas, who had just finished a call, noticed her sitting on the sofa. His dark eyes flickered slightly. “Not busy tonight, Miss Cartier?” 

Marion nervously shifted her gaze. “I’m balancing work and rest. I pushed myself too hard the past few days, and my hands are rebelling.” 

The man looked at her with a teasing smile. “Really? I thought you were avoiding me.” 

Marion’s heart skipped a beat. “Was I? Besides, why would I hide from you?” 

Lucas continued to gaze at her while remaining silent. 

After enduring for two seconds, Marion could not take it anymore. She bit her lip. “Mr. Craig, you’re leaving on a business trip tomorrow. Is everything packed?” 

Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Why? Will Miss Cartier help me if it’s not packed?” 

“What’s wrong with that?” 

As soon as these words came out, Marion regretted it. She had pledged just five

days ago to maintain boundaries and distance. Why should she–a fake Mrs. Craig -handle packing luggage for him? However, the boast had been made. 

When Lucas said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Cariter to help me pack for the business trip,” Marion had no choice but to agree. 

Lucas stood up. “Let’s go. I want to rest early tonight.” 

Marion had to follow him upstairs and into the master bedroom. While it was not her first time entering Lucas’s room, it was to enter his walk–in closet. 

Before even stepping in, Marion caught a whiff of the familiar scent of cedarwood. Lucas did not enter and leaned against the wall by the door. “I need three suits, two casual outfits, and two sets of pajamas.” 

Hearing his instructions, Marion turned and glanced at him. “Got it.” 

She walked up to the transparent wardrobe, unabashedly examining all of Lucas’s clothes. 

Most were black and white, neatly hanging dozens of custom–made suits inside the main cabinet. The side cabinet held casual wear, and the ties were as diverse as a department store. It left Marion overwhelmed. 

There was even a special cabinet for cufflinks and tie clips, the exquisite ones. hinting at their considerable value. 

It was the first time Marion realized that men could have so many clothes. 

With so many clothes, she almost got dizzy. Matching suits and ties was a delicate matter; she worried her taste might not be good enough. She was so engrossed in picking out ties that she did not notice Lucas had walked in.
