The Bride’s Revenge

Chapter 344 No Third Wheels Allowed

Tomorrow was Sunday. After a busy week, all the CEOS wanted was to unwind on this Saturday night.

So, Martin suggested playing poker together after dinner, but this proposal was ruthlessly rejected by

Lucas.

Martin seemed puzzled. “Why not? Tomorrow’s Sunday. We can stay out a bit later tonight and sleep in tomorrow, right?”

He glanced at Marion. “Isn’t that right, Miss Cartier?”

Marion felt awkward, unsure whether to nod or shake her head. Why did they have to drag her into

their bro talk?

With Marion at a loss for words, Lucas chimed in, “She needs to go back to practice piano.”

That excuse could not be more legitimate. Even Martin, as shameless as he was, did not dare insist on their post–dinner plans anymore.

“My bad. It totally slipped my mind. I’ll make up for it.”

Marion glanced at Lucas, who happened to be looking her way. She caught his gaze, lips faintly curved as he said, “Ready to head back?”

Marion widened her eyes a bit. “What’s the rush?”

Lucas checked the time. “It’s seven. We really should head back.”

With that, he signaled to Martin and the others that they were leaving.
