Marion took a nap and woke up around four in the afternoon. Then she remembered Lucas mentioning dinner together in the evening. Although she was not sure about Lucas’s plans, the day’s events did impact him somewhat.

She glanced down at her legs and considered their current state. Lucas could not expect her to accompany him to a business banquet that night with her legs like that, could he? If it was not a banquet, it must be a dinner gathering.

Marion chose a short dress from the limited edition series of a renowned fashion house. The design featured a stand–up collar and the iconic blue Oblique print. It gave her an elegant yet lively appearance.

The waist was adorned with pleats that cinched her figure and emphasized her slender waist while the flared hem accentuated her beautiful legs.

However, as her dress ended at two–thirds of her thigh, it revealed the porcelain like whiteness of the rest of her legs.
