The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 95 Was It Waterproof?

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Marion stiffened for half a second before retrieving the powder puff with trembling hands. “I'm sorry, Mr. Craig. This is setting powder, it’s not poisonous. I'll clean it up for you, | promise!”

She had not meant to do it!

Marion fumbled for a tissue on the table but realized there was none. Ignoring the issue of tissues, she met Lucas’s eyes. Without hesitation, she used her hands to remove the loose powder from his thin lips.

Lucas’s lips were surprisingly soft. A kiss from his lips would probably feel very nice, would it not?

As Marion became aware of her thoughts, her ears turned crimson, and the blush spread to her cheeks. It felt like her fingertips were suddenly on fire, and Marion found it hard to continue.

Lucas was not having an easier time of it. Her soft fingertips brushed across his lips, and with half-awareness, he leaned in closer. His breath fell directly on her face, his attention focused on the woman in front of him.

His eyes lowered to Marion’s red lips, and for a fleeting moment, Lucas entertained the thought of leaning in for a kiss.

However, he restrained himself and suppressed the desire. He raised his hand and brushed away the meddling fingertips. “Enough, I'll go wash my face.”

With that, he stood up and walked into the bathroom.

In the mirror, the red mark on the left side of his neck was now covered. Lucas wiped it with his hand and found that the cover— up was surprisingly effective.

Marion sat on the sofa with her hands folded on her lap, head lowered like a child. Lucas walked back into the living room and raised an eyebrow at Marion. “You did a good job.”

Upon hearing the compliment, Marion's tense nerves immediately relaxed. She was about to respond with a smile before he said, “Don’t cover it up next time.”

Her lips, poised to smile, froze in place. The expression on her face was somewhere between a forced smile and a look of horror.

“I'm leaving.”

Lucas gave her a final glance then he turned to leave the villa.

Soon, Marion heard the sound of the car starting.

Was he angry? Or not?

As Lim started the car, he suddenly heard Lucas in the back seat. “Do you have some water?”

He quickly stopped the car and handed a bottle of mineral water to Lucas.

Curious, Liam glanced in the rearview mirror.

He saw Lucas open the bottle, and moisten his fingertips with the water before applying it to his neck.

What was going on with Mr. Craig?

He wanted to express concern but considering Lucas’s reluctance to accept such care, Liam chose to silently continue driving. Lucas used his fingertips to wipe his neck twice but found that only a little powder had come off, and the red mark was still concealed underneath the makeup.

What kind of makeup product was it? Was it waterproof?

He stopped what he was doing, and decided not to bother with the concealer

anymore.

The car quickly made its way to the company. Daniel was waiting at the stairwell entrance on the floor of the meeting rooms. When he saw Lucas, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Mr. Craig.”

He thought Lucas would be absent that day.

Lucas nodded, “Help me find a bottle of makeup remover.”

Daniel, who had been with Lucas for so many years, was confused at the request. What would he need makeup remover for? But as a competent secretary, Daniel could only comply with his instructions. Certainly, Mr. Craig. I'll get it for you right away.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
