Chapter 543
Spoiled by the President
It was just a friendly goodbye between friends, but in Joel Fosterâs eyes, Lucy and Mace were kissing and hugging.
The woman had shown that she liked him earlier, but now, she was with another man.
He could not believe his eyes.
Joel initially wanted to show Lucy his romantic side, but now he had witnessed the two of them being intimate.
This made Joelâs heart pang with hatred.
He could not believe that Lucy Katz was this type of woman.
Joel naively came over and thought of talking things through with her. He even wanted to ask her to be together.
Since he saw it with his own eyes, he suddenly thought that he was laughable.
At that moment, Joel threw the flower bouquet on the ground and stomped on it violently.
To hell with his love!
To hell with this woman!
Joel was green with envy.
These two were openly affectionate at Lucyâs apartment lobby.
Joel felt discomfort in his heart, but once he thought about how Lucy toyed with his feelings, he was furious and could not take it.
He thought to himself that if he were to ever get involved with Lucy Katz, he would not be Joel Foster!
This was utterly insulting to his dignity. If she did not like him, how could she show him that sort of emotion in her eyes?
If she liked him though, why would she be so lovey-dovey with Mace at this hour?
Could she be one of those playgirls who simply dated men and threw them away like she was changing outfits?
As Joel rambled on in his head, Mace still had not left the parking lot, so he got into his car and drove off.
Soon after, Mace also drove off and left Lucy alone at home.
Lucy was not in her best mood.
She insisted on going home to rest.
Lucy knew that she wasted too much time on this. She still had to return to set to continue filming the next day.
She could not hinder the filming progress because of her personal issues, so even if she could not fall asleep, she still forced herself to get some shut-eye.
The next day, Lucy woke up early.
After she woke up, she looked pale as she did not sleep well the previous night.
âAh...â
Lucy shook her head upon seeing her dull face in the mirror.
It looked like she would have to put on some makeup before heading in so she would not look so lifeless.
As soon as she was done with her makeup, Lucy went to the office.
âYouâre here early. I heard you just got discharged from the hospital yesterday.â
Frankly, everyone at the office was surprised to see Lucy.
Usually, if an actress was injured or felt unwell, they would choose to stay at home.
They had all heard about Lucyâs accident, so when they saw her at work the next day, they felt that she was too dedicated.
âYup. Please let me know if weâre filming my scenes today.â
Lucy was thinking of taking a nap after going into the office so that she could recover her energy for any filming later. This was so she would not hamper others and would not keep making mistakes.
âOkay.â
Subsequently, Lucy got started on the dayâs work straight away.
The filming process was smooth as the director and actors had a good relationship.
During this period, Lucy was busy filming while Joel was busy being mad at her. Both of them did not meet up for a long time.
The filming came to an end quickly since it was a short series.
Time passed by in a flash.
âTodayâs the last day on set. Should we celebrate?â
The director asked Lucy.
Lucy looked heavy-hearted and quietly shook her head.
âYou all should celebrate! I have some family affairs to attend to. Sorry!â
Before this, even though Lucy did not like gatherings, she would always attend celebrations such as the filmâs closing ceremony for the films she starred in.
However, she unprecedentedly rejected the director today.
âWhy are you not going? Everyoneâs going today.â
Lucy shook her head.
âI really have things to do today. Iâve applied for leave in advance. No worries, you all should go ahead! I promise Iâll attend next time and I look forward to our next collaboration.â
Lucy forced herself to smile reluctantly.
The director saw her expression and did not know how to comfort her.
After all, ceremonies like this were optional to the staff. Actors could also decide whether or not to attend.
Anyhow, he had already invited everyone personally, so the choice was up to them.
Looking at Lucyâs expression, she looked like she truly had family issues.
Lucy removed her makeup and got changed in the dressing room. She then took her purse and hurriedly took a cab from the office lobby.
She had a serious matter to attend to.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Even though Lucy was busy filming during this period, she never once neglected to visit her mother at the hospital.
Lucyâs motherâs condition was slowly worsening and she stayed full-time at the hospital.
However, in the past few days, nobody knew why her condition kept getting worse.
In reality, Lucy recently felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.
This was because the doctors had prescribed more valuable medicine due to her motherâs worsening condition.
At first, Lucy was earning enough to cover her motherâs hospital bills because she virtually did not spend on herself.
Lately, she felt like it was hard to make ends meet.
Not only did the quantity and price of the medicine increase, but her motherâs condition was also not getting any better.
The doctor also told her that if her motherâs condition did not improve, she might need surgery.
Moreover, the operation fee was not a small sum.
The reason why Lucy was so hardworking was so that she could earn more money for her motherâs surgery if needed.
Lucy and her mother had a close relationship, so she could not bear seeing her mother suffer.
After todayâs closing ceremony, her work schedule would be less tight, so she decided to visit her mother and have a nice chat with her at the hospital.
