However, Lily needed to go to this concert tonight. She had something to attend to.
"Alright, then we'll go." Loid raised his eyebrows. There was clear amusement in his eyes.
He had no principles at all, it seemed.
Shaun gave Lily a thumbs up. "You're good!"
Soon, they arrived at the stadium. A lot of people were attending the concert, so the stadium was packed even before the doors opened.
Shaun had gotten his tickets from an unknown source, so their seats were in the fourth row.
At first, Lily thought about giving him her first-row tickets. But on second thought, she decided against it. She didn't want to attract any attention sitting in the first row anyway. The fourth row was good enough.
Finally, the concert started. Lucas emerged wearing a black tuxedo. His movements were graceful and exuded noblesse. When he appeared on stage, the audience went wild screaming.
Loid and Lily were probably the only ones who were unfazed.
Halfway through the concert, Lucas left the stage, leaving his guest stars to entertain the audience.
Lily looked up. She lowered her voice and said to Loid, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Loid nodded. In a dark corner backstage, Lily pulled the rim of her cap down to cover her face. It was fairly dark, so her face was properly covered.
Just then, a man approached her and handed her a plastic bag. He looked excited. "The stuff you asked for is in here."
The man was Lucas. He had hurried over after receiving Lily's text. He looked at her briefly. He hadn't seen her for some time, but she was still as cold and impassive as ever. It was as if nothing ever interested her.
Pursing his lips, he said, "I thought you weren't coming. Should I tell the others? We could get dinner or something. It's been some time since we got together."
Holding the plastic bag, Lily lowered her eyes. "No need. I'm busy. Bye."
