Chapter 259 A Close Call

In the next moment, Marion found herself being handed a box of candies.

“A business trip gift.”

Marion looked at the box of candies. “Thanks.”

“Rest early so you can recover quickly.”

Marion, who originally wanted to share the candies, hesitated. “Alright.”

The man glanced at her lowered eyes, loosened the top button of his collar, and said, “I’ll escort you back to your room.”
