Chapter 418
"My wife is a fan of yours, and she'd like to have your autograph. Do you mind signing one for her now?"
The female singer promptly took a postcard from her assistant and scribbled on it.
"Of course, why not? It's just a signature. Here you go."
The singer's off-stage personality matched her carefree nature on stage. She spoke without much restraint, and her down-to-earth nature rubbed off on Matthew.
"It seems my wife has good judgment in people. You two would be good friends."
Matthew thought that she had a bright and cheerful personality, similar to Lucy.
"Is that so? I saw your wife on stage just now, and she's gorgeous. She's nothing like what the rumors say. Those rumor-mongers have no grounds."
"You're too kind."
As the two were engrossed in conversation, Charlotte quietly sneaked over to Lucy's side.
Lucy could not tell whether she was here with good or bad intentions, but she left a spot for her anyway.
"I really appreciate what you did earlier."
Lucy did not think it was something to be thankful for, so she shook her head. "Don't worry about it. We're family, after all, so it's only natural. Didn't I tell you that just now?"
Charlotte smiled sarcastically and took a glass of wine from the waiter.
"The wine is sponsored by Leon Corporation. Would you like a glass?"
"Thank you, but I don't drink."
“Come on, it'll be fine. A little bit of wine won't hurt. You should be open to trying new things, or else what's the point of living?"From NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucy could not refuse, so she took a glass of wine from the waiter. The two clinked their glasses.
After a moment of silence, Charlotte asked, "Isn't that Mr. Leon? Why is he talking to that celebrity?"
With a fake surprised expression
and a malicious smile, it was clear that Charlotte was trying to start some beef. Lucy realized that she had underestimated Charlotte's knack for stirring up trouble and her ability to turn any topic into an issue.
“I asked Matthew to go get an autograph from her for me. Is there a problem?"
Charlotte was taken aback by the response but she was unwilling to give up on embarrassing Lucy in public. Even if she could only bring her slight emotional discomfort, it would be enough for her.
She had to vent her anger today, or else she would constantly think about retaliating against Lucy and not be able to eat or sleep.
"There's nothing wrong with getting an autograph, but look how happily they're chatting! Standing next to each other, they look like a match made in heaven." Charlotte pointed at them.
Lucy rolled her eyes without saying anything. She tilted her head back and downed the red wine in her glass. She then began massaging her ankles again.
The pain had somewhat subsided now, so she moved her feet around. She was reassured that she would be fine for the ball that evening.
Charlotte covered her mouth, pretending to be shocked. "Oh, I didn't mean to say that. They just look like a really loving couple. I'm sorry, I misspoke."
Lucy stared at her intently. "Don't worry. I'm not angry, but let me reiterate. You should mind your own business from now on, and I don't want to know about your business either. Do you understand? You do you, and I'll do me."
