NovelBarChapter 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. “Isnt 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.

Lucas eyed her, lips curling into a smirk and mischief dancing in his dark eyes.
He escorted her to the car, opening the passenger door and shielding her from hitting her head on the roof.
As Marion buckled up, she heard Lucas ask, “Want to watch a movie?” Wait. Was he not supposed to let her practice the piano earlier? Hearing her silence, he huffed lightly.
Marion turned to him. “Sure.” Then, she cleared her throat before saying, “Lucas, can | ask you something?” Chapter 344 No THIRS Wheels Allowed “Go on.” “Do you always play along with your friends like this?” He started the car, casually replying, “Not always.” “Then...
“Just don’t want any third wheels.” Marion got it in an instant and felt her cheeks flush. She glanced out the car window, raising a hand to touch her face.
It turned out that she was the culprit.
Marion thought Lucas’s movie plan meant going to a regular cinema like a typical couple. Since she had not been on a movie date with someone she liked before, she was kind of looking forward to it.
However, the car drove farther and farther from the city. If she were not Mrs. Craig, Marion would have suspected Lucas was taking her to the outskirts to sell her off.
Twenty minutes later, Marion looked at the giant screen in front of the windshield and realized that when Lucas had said watching a movie, he meant watching a drive-in movie.

Looking around, Marion noticed quite a few couples here to watch the movie. The cars parked in front, behind, and beside them were all filled with couples.
Lucas handed her his phone. “Look what you'd like to eat.” It was Marion's first there, and she was feeling quite curious. “I want popcorn. Is that okay?” The snacks and drinks here were not much different from those in regular cinemas, and Marion loved eating popcorn while watching movies.
“Order whatever you like. The phone's in your hand.” She chuckled awkwardly, murmuring, “But | don’t know your payment password.” Before she finished speaking, she heard the person beside her recite a string of numbers.
Marion found the numbers somewhat familiar. If she was not mistaken, it sounded like her birthday.
She glanced at Lucas subconsciously. “What's this?” “Payment password.” Marion looked at him, her heart inexplicably quickening, “Sounds familiar.” “Is your memory that bad?” dat He teased, his gaze enveloping her, “Can't even remember your own birthday?” It really was her birthday!
