Joel Foster sneered, “Oh? Is it? It looks like you didn’t fully learn your lesson from before.”
As he said this, Lucy Katz’s heart paused and felt a tingling hatred, but she could not do anything.
She could not imagine that there was such a shameless person in this world, who could even threaten her with her mother’s health.
Even when she faced Fourth Cecil, she did not have this kind of helpless and exasperated feeling.
In the end, Lucy thought about her mother’s condition and lowered her head.
She sighed and said, “Fine. I was wrong in this matter, but what do you want me to do? You don’t like me having contact with other men. Does that mean I must stay at home all day and can’t even act?
“Joel Foster, I’m a human being. I need my own space too. I’m not a canary that you can keep in a cage. Do you truly want to see me like that?”
The sight of the woman’s teary eyes deeply impacted Joel’s heart. He felt his heart ache.
After a while, he said with a cold face, “I didn’t say that you can’t act anymore. I’m just saying that you should maintain a basic distance with other men.”
Lucy paused for a bit, then looked away grudgingly and blinked her red-rimmed eyes.
“Don’t you worry. I’ll remember next time.”
Joel let her go after he heard this.
As he let go, he noticed two red fingerprint marks on her fair chin. It was him that did this to her.
His eyes darkened.
Joel put his hands back in his pockets and said, “I have a dinner party to attend tomorrow night. You should accompany me.”
Lucy was surprised and her heart panicked.
Even though Joel did not look for her during this period, she still felt unsettled.
Lucy did not think that once he looked for her, their relationship would be made known to the public.
She did not think that she would play the role of his girlfriend this quickly. Joel did not even give her the time to reject him. After he finished talking, he just left.
The next day, at night.
Lucy was contemplating all day for a solution, but she could not think of one.
Fortunately with Joel’s social standing, when he appeared at these events, he would often be accompanied by different female companions, so as long as she kept her distance and refused to admit anything, it should be fine.
At this moment, Lucy was still getting her makeup done.
The stylist was an experienced master. Within 10 minutes, the stylist had given her a delicate light look and chose a lavender-colored hand-embroidered gown for her to change into.
After she got dressed, the stylist kept complimenting her and said that she looked like a goddess and was too beautiful.
Lucy saw her reflection in the mirror. The gown’s translucent tulle over her neck and shoulders with its light color and delicate embroidery, once paired with her innocent face, indeed brought out a fairy-like appearance. It was a look that she did not fancy.
She liked flashy and bold looks. She liked to wear the brightest colors and put on thick and sultry makeup. She liked seeing those men gaze at her without being able to look away, yet when they turned around, they had to pretend to be gentlemen. It was especially relieving to see that.
Lucy was a petty commoner.
However, tonight she was not herself. She was Joel’s accessory, so she did not request for much. She nodded, took the bag that the stylist had prepared for her, and walked out.
