Chapter 558
Spoiled by the President
Mace Smith could never believe that Lucy Katz was in a relationship with Simon Wilburn. He could never believe it!
However, he suddenly thought about the things Lucy said to him that day and felt an aching pain in his heart.
Maceâs heart was confident, but now it wavered.
Even though he was not sure if Lucy liked Simon, he knew Simon all too well.
After all, that man was a playboy and had a few scandals in the past.
Outsiders did not know the full story, and because his fans had a filter, no matter how scandalous the rumors were, they still believed that Simon was their loving and perfect idol.
Mace was in the rich second-gen circle, so he still knew a little.
Even though this clique was not big nor small, news spread quickly so he would know what was going on. Simonâs image among them was not the best.
Especially in matters of love, Simon could be considered overly affectionate.
There was even talk of a woman that wanted to jump off a building because of him!
Some pregnant women even demanded Simon to take responsibility!
Ha! As a man who would do such deceitful things to women, how good could he be?
As Lucyâs friend or as her ex-fiancé, Mace could not bear to see her get cheated on.
He must do something!
As he thought of this, he stared at the phone number that he added a long time ago yet never dialed before. A touch of darkness flashed across his eyes.
He clicked on the number and gave that person a call.
At the same time, on the other side.
Tonight, Lucy just had dinner with Carina and was lying down on the sofa.
Due to Susan Reedâs specific orders for Lucy not to leave the house, she was cooped up at home.
When she got bored, she called Carina to come over and accompany her to watch movies and dramas. The days were relaxed and happy.
They had nothing to do, so they played some games and even some chess.
As long as they were killing time, they did not mind what they played.
Carina was a great chef. If Lucy had her way, she would have wanted Carina to cook for her every day when they were at the set, but this was not allowed.
Lucy could only keep this as her thoughts because as an actress, she must maintain her figure.
If Carina were to cook such scrumptious food for her every day, she could never go on a diet!
As Lucy thought of this, she could not help but feel distressed.
She got up and walked to the front of a full-length mirror.
Lucy saw her slim reflection, pinched the non-existent belly fat, and asked Carina who was in the kitchen washing dishes.
âCarina, did I get fatter over the last two days?â
Carina was washing the dishes and turned around to look at Lucy. She laughed and said, âSister Lucy, how are you fat? Youâre so slim and beautiful, with not even an ounce of fat on you.â
Lucy was delighted to hear this. She turned around to show Carina a kissy face and went back to the sofa with a contented look on her face.
Her butt had yet to touch the sofa when the doorbell rang.
She was slightly shocked as this was unexpected.
Lucy glanced at the time. It was already 8:00 pm. Who would come over?
Moreover, there were not many people in the whole capital who knew where she lived, so who could come visit her at this hour?
Lucy thought it could be Susan, so she did not think much and went to open the door.
However, when she got to the door, she took a peek from the peephole and got a shock from seeing the person standing outside. Her expression changed.
Carina, who was in the kitchen washing the dishes, also heard the doorbell ring.
She thought that she would hear some commotion from the door opening, but after a while, there was no sound of movement, so she curiously asked, âSister Lucy, who is it?â
Lucy did not answer.
Carina wiped her hands with a dry cloth and walked over.
She saw that Lucy was standing in front of the door but did not open it. She was puzzled and asked, âSister Lucy, whatâs wrong? Didnât someone knock on the door? Why arenât you opening it?â
Lucyâs face kept changing. She did not know whether she should laugh or cry.
After a long time, she took a deep breath.
Lucy mentally prepped herself and convinced herself to open the door.
The door opened and Carina was shocked to see the tall and well-built man who stood there.
She covered her mouth and did not speak a word.
Joel Foster was wearing a black suit and he brought in the cold air from outside. His handsome eyes exuded an exquisite beauty under the warm light in the hallway, which made one hold their breath.
He just stared at Carina with cold eyes and turned to look condescendingly at Lucy. He asked, âWhat took you so long?â
Lucy paused.
She secretly thought, âShould I tell you the truth? I was hesitant because I saw you.â
Lucy could never tell him the truth no matter what, so she just laughed awkwardly.
âUmm...The door had some issues. It was stuck for a bit. Haha...I had to twist it a couple of times to get it to open.â
Joel looked at her intensely and did not know whether to believe what she said.
Spoiled by the President ï¤Chapter 557 Smooth Sailing Ahead A second later, he turned towards the still stunned Carina and said blankly, âThereâs nothing left here for you to do. You may leave.â
Carina was afraid of him. Even though she knew there was something between Lucy and Joel, she did not know about their latest deal.
She saw Joelâs upset face and was afraid that he would hurt Lucy, so when Joel said this, she turned to see Lucyâs expression.
Lucyâs face darkened, but she thought nothing much of it. She just glanced at Carina and said, âCarina, you can go home now. I still have some things to deal with.â
Carina still felt helpless and frowned worriedly.
âSister Lucy, you...â
Lucy turned around and gave her an encouraging smile.
âDonât worry. Itâll be fine. Remember to come over and cook lunch for me tomorrow!â
Carina heard this and nodded, then took her bags and went out the door.
After Carina left, Joel stepped into the house.
Lucy had purposely bought a pair of menâs slippers two days ago because of what happened last time.
She did not want the man to come over, but she did not know what possessed her to buy a pair of slippers especially for him.
A lot of times, she hated herself for being so weak-willed. One part of her hated it, yet she still could not resist herself and just bought it.
Joel saw the new pair of menâs slippers on the side and his mood instantly lifted.
He changed into the slippers and walked inside.
âYou just had dinner?â
The house was still filled with the aroma of food. He need not look around and could already smell it.
