Just as Lucy and Chelsea got to the door, they bumped into someone coming their way.
“Lucy, what a coincidence. You walked out just as I came to see you. It’s like we have a telepathic connection. Did you sleep well last night?”
Charlotte greeted Lucy with a fake smile. Lucy rolled her eyes inwardly. 'Telepathic connection, my ass! Tsk!' she thought.
“Too bad you came at the wrong time. I was just about to have breakfast with my friend, so I’m afraid I can’t entertain you,” Lucy replied with a forced smile, ready to pull Chelsea away.
Of course, Chelsea sensed the change in Lucy’s mood, so she quickly shot her a questioning look. It seemed she wanted to ask, ‘Who’s that? What’s going on?’
“It’s nothing, just an annoying pest. I’ll tell you later, so just ignore her for now. Let’s go," Lucy mouthed back silently, but the two understood each other perfectly.
Charlotte’s expression darkened while these two were exchanging glances and completely disregarding her.
Seeing as they were about to leave, she quickly intercepted them as if she had just noticed Chelsea. “So, you’re my sister’s friend. As the host, how can I neglect the guests in the palace?
“I haven’t eaten either. Since you’re taking the guest for breakfast, let’s go together.”
Charlotte said warmly, clinging to Lucy like gum. She went up to Lucy, wanting to walk alongside her like they were close sisters.
Lucy did not expect her to be so persistent in joining her and Chelsea. She could not help but wonder what she was up to.
Unable to come up with an excuse to reject her, Lucy quietly withdrew her hand and said, “If you want to, go ahead. No one in this palace can stop you from doing what you want anyway.”
Sometimes, Lucy genuinely admired how shameless Charlotte was.
