Chapter 65
The lipstick mark…
The others kept their focus on the contract, not daring to intervene in the smokeless war.
Felix stared at the lipstick coldly. Then he picked up his phone, a casual smile playing on his lips.
Moira, rubbing her aching stomach, felt that something was off. She glanced at Felix and noticed that he was staring at Barclay. Then she followed Felix’s gaze to look at Barclay.
When Moira looked up and saw the lipstick mark exposed by Barclay, she seemed to be struck by lightning.
Moira’s face turned red instantly. Despite wearing makeup, her cheeks were noticeably flushed.
Her skin was fair, and with the light makeup she wore tonight, the foundation was very light, making her cheeks appear rosy.
Moira breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t see anyone else looking. The others seemed to be discussing the contract, except for Felix, who had noticed the lipstick mark.
She relaxed a bit, her mind racing as she tried to find a way to cover up the Epstick mark
But she couldn’t think of a way. If she raised her hand, everyone would definitely look over.
Moira was getting anxious. Finally, she could only let Barclay take care of it himself.
She reached for Barclay’s sleeve. Just as she was about to grab it, Barclay’s hand suddenly slid down, and Moira opened her hand, accidentally pinching his pinkie.
Moira stiffened for a moment and then quickly let go of her hand.
She raised her head and suddenly met his deep gaze.
“…I didn’t mean to,” Moira said.
Then she quickly averted her gaze, no longer daring to mention the lipstick mark.
She turned her gaze so quickly that she didn’t see his faint smile.
Felix watched them and tapped his phone on the table.

Zachary, who was
Felix picked up a glass of water and took a sip, saying, “Nothing, just a tremor”
Zachary didn’t pay much attention. He had finished the contract, and the specific terms had been discussed beforehand.
The manager of the brand department took the contract, glanced at Barclay, and said bravely, “Mr. Covington, we can sign the contract.”
Barclay raised his gaze lightly, showing no intention of taking the contract. “Okay.”
The manager was about to ask if Barclay needed to check the terms when the latter quickly signed his name and handed the contract to Zachary
Zachary took the contract and asked Felix to sign it.
Felix then took his gaze away and signed the contract.
With the contract signed, tonight’s dinner came to a satisfactory end

Chapter 65
Aher exchanging a few polite words, Zachary left with Felix.
In the private room, Moira, Barclay, the manager of the brand department, and Linden remained.
The manager and Linden glanced at each other, tacitly maintaining silent.
Moira felt a bit
it uneasy. She wanted to go to the restroom, so she said, “Shall we leave too?”
Barclay glanced at her sideways, not answering her question. “Still full?
Moira’s face suddenly felt hot. “Not anymore.”
She didn’t know why he still stirred up trouble.
