Chapter 121 Candy from the Other Day

Marion caught Lucas’s eye, and she felt uneasy.

Initially, she had intended to continue playing, but after a short segment, she found it challenging to withstand the intensity of the man’s gaze. She stopped and asked, “Is there something you need Mr. Craig?”

Lucas stood by the piano, his head lowered as his dark eyes fixed on her. “Have you been avoiding me lately?”

When he spoke, his voice did not fluctuate. There was only a slight emphasis in his tone as if he were casually asking a question.

Marion’s heart skipped a beat.

Unable to control herself, she remembered her erotic dream, and her face turned red once again.

She forced herself to keep a straight face and met Lucas’s gaze. “Oh, have I? I have a charity performance tomorrow, so I’ve been practicing this piece…”

Lucas lightly tapped his hand on the piano. It seemed he had no intention of pressing the issue. “Is there any of that candy from the other day left?”

“Huh?” Marion was taken aback by the unexpected question. After a moment of hesitation, she said, ” Yes, I have some in my room.”
