”What...What do you mean?”
Lucy Katz knew what the temp had written on her palm.
It was “I LOVE YOU”.
I love you.
What was this?
Lucy was shocked because she thought that the temp was just a regular crew member.
They were mere strangers.
Most importantly, she was a married woman.
Even though it was a secret marriage, since she made a promise to Joel Foster, she could not go behind his back and cheat on him with another man.
As Lucy thought about it, she became serious.
She was solemn and stern when she said, “Don’t joke like this. I’m your temporary boss and you’re my temporary assistant. You need to know your place and don’t go overboard. Understood?”
Lucy thought that her words would scare the temp, but he laughed even harder.
She was infuriated.
“How could you be like this? If you continue this, I’ll ask them to fire you.”
Lucy turned around and prepared to go to the crew as she said this.
At that moment, she heard a familiar voice call out her name.
“Lu.”
Lucy was shocked and turned around to look at him in disbelief.
The man in front of her looked around warily and after he confirmed no one was around them, he peeled off one corner of his beard.
“Lu, look at me.”
Lucy was dumbstruck.
Her eyes were wide-open, as if she just saw a creature she had never seen in her life.
The man laughed and said, “Isn’t this unexpected? Aren’t you surprised?”
Lucy almost wanted to slap him!
She glanced at the crew, who were not far away, tugged Joel’s ear, and dragged him to a hidden corner.
Lucy whispered angrily, “Joel Foster! Are you crazy? Why did you come here?”
That’s right. The man in front of her was Joel Foster.
Who knew how he got in here with this disguise?
No wonder she thought that he looked familiar.
It was because the fake beard was glued all over his face and the bucket hat he wore was covering half of his face that she could not see clearly.
Now that she thought of it, the man did this on purpose!
Lucy was furious.
Joel was nonchalant and casually smiled.
“Hey, look at you! Don’t forget, we’re legally married. As husband and wife, we should go everywhere together, as one. Wherever you go, I’ll follow. Isn’t this normal?”
He had a triumphant tone when he said this.
Lucy just felt that she was so angry that her head hurt.
She looked at him and asked, “Besides me, who has seen you in this disguise?”
Joel raised his eyebrows and pondered for a bit.
“Umm...except for Susan and Carina, I don’t think anyone else saw me.”
If he wanted to join her, he must go through Susan for any arrangements.
Otherwise, Lucy’s team would be suspicious of him.
Moreover, Joel came to Lucy’s side as Carina’s temporary replacement.
If he wanted Carina to act sick, he must also let her in on it.
Besides these 4 people, no one else knew about this to avoid any rumors.
Lucy heard this and let out a sigh of relief.
