Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 294

Taking her friend's advice, Lucinda dropped her voice. She said in a hush, “We’re pretty famous now and can't go anywhere without being recognized by the general crowd. Can we even sneak out for fun?”

Serendipity Cafe had made it to some trending topics. As the owners, they were indeed public figures, especially Lucinda.

Just stepping into Neon Nectar Nightclub, she’d be instantly recognized.

Although her friend hadn’t left yet and Stefan wouldn't punish her at that time, he would remember that. The moment her friend left, he’d probably have her bedridden for three days straight.

Cecilia, “That's true, the women who can afford to go there are all wealthy. If they see you in the club, it would be really awkward.”

“Actually, I’m quite curious about that place.”

Lucinda was also full of curiosity about the club and wanted to check it out in person.

Before, she had the guts but not the money to pay a visit to that place.

But now, she had the money but not the guts. The situation was reversed.

“Why don't I go there myself and tell you about it when I return?”

Cecilia was relieved that her marriage to Owen was still somehow kept a secret.

“Cecilia, we are best friends. We promised to share happiness and face difficulties together, how could you leave me and go alone?”

Cecilia chuckled, “There's no other way. Who told you to be so impulsive and marry Mr. Coleman so quickly? I warned you not to be fooled, but you said you've known each other for eleven years, huh.”

Lucinda blushed, “How was I to know that even someone I’ve known for eleven years would hurt me. I simply don’t care. If I can’t go there, neither can you,”

Lucinda stubbornly expressed her feelings.

Cecilia deliberately brought up an old matter, “When you went to see Ruby make a fool of herself, you didn’t take me with you.”

Lucinda was speechless.

“No, I need to figure this out,” Lucinda's curiosity was piqued by her friend. If she didn’t check out Neon Nectar Nightclub, she wouldn’t be able to have a sound sleep at night.

“It would be great if we could disguise ourselves.”

Cecilia sighed, “Like the characters in novels, changing their appearances so much that even their parents wouldn’t recognize them.”

Lucinda's eyes lit up at the idea, and she said with a smile, “I'll call someone for help.”

“Call them quickly.”

Upon hearing that there was hope, Cecilia hurriedly urged her to call.

Lucinda found Tiffany's contact. Knowing Tiffany would eventually become a member of the Anderson family, she took her contact. Since they would be relatives in the future, it would be good to chat and build relationships.

Tiffany answered Lucinda's call and after hearing her request, she didn't immediately agree to her request. She asked Lucinda, “You want me to do your makeup? Why do I feel like you're about to do something shady? Lucinda, unless you clarify the situation to me, I can't help you. If you mess up, Stefan will blame it all on me.”

“Don’t worry, I'm not looking for trouble. It’s just that I've been in the public eye too much recently. As soon as I go out, I get mobbed, photographed by the media, it’s really inconvenient. I just want you to help me with low-key makeup so I can shop in peace and avoid public attention.”

Tiffany chuckled, “Lucy, you can't fool me.”

Lucinda just kept silent.

“If it's really as you say, all you need to do is complain to Stefan a few times and he can solve the problem. No one would dare mob you or take your photos when you go shopping.”

Lucinda was left speechless.

“Lucy, be honest to me. If I can help, I definitely will.”

Lucinda grumbled, “If I tell the truth and you tell Stefan, I’m screwed.”

“Anything that can’t be disclosed to Stefan can’t be good. Lucy, where do you actually want to go?”

“Forget it, I won’t go.”

Although Lucinda and Tiffany had interacted a few times, they weren't close enough, so she dared not to tell Tiffany where she wanted to go for fear of being betrayed.

“Lucy, do you want to go to Neon Nectar Nightclub?”

Lucy was taken aback.

Without a second thought Tiffany accurately guessed it. She was really smart.

“Where are you? I'll come over to do your makeup, I guarantee no one will recognize you.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Hearing that, Lucinda tentatively asked, “You’ve been there before?”

Tiffany laughed, “Of course. In Pinehurst, I go wherever I want.”

And she wouldn’t be recognized.

Lucinda asked curiously, “How is their service?”

Tiffany curiously asked, “Lucy, you aren’t planning to try their services, are you?”

Actually, she just wanted to check out the handsome men in the club. After all, it was said that the men there were very attractive, which was why many wealthy women went there in the first place.

Hearing Lucinda's blunt question, Tiffany couldn't help but laugh, and she said, “I just go to look around, besides eating and drinking, I don’t need other services. So, I really don’t know how their services are, dare to give it a try?”

“No!” Lucinda answered quickly.

She couldn’t even handle Stefan at that time, let alone having the courage to try. She was just curious.

“Lucy, send me your location, I'll come over right away.”

“Okay.”

Since Tiffany had been to the club and was willing to take her and Cecilia there to broaden their horizons, Lucinda no longer had to worry about Tiffany tattling.

To go to Neon Nectar Nightclub, Tiffany even gave up an opportunity to interact with men. She called Liam and told him, “Something came up, I can't make it. If you go, inform Cedric when you see him.”

“You’re not going? What happened?”

Even though Tiffany's no-show was a bit of a relief for Liam, he had made a point to dress to impress for her meeting with Cedric. New clothes, new shoes, spanking new watch, even his hair was styled to perfection. All with the intention of showing off a bit in front of Cedric.

But at that time, he was sitting face to face with Cedric.

And then out of the blue, Tiffany decided she wasn't coming.

So, at that point it felt like he was having a romantic tete-a-tete with Cedric.

The guy opposite him was all smiles and soft gazes, looking at him like he was the apple of his eye, which was making Liam incredibly uncomfortable.

"Cedric, Tiffany suddenly had some urgent stuff to deal with, so she can’t make it."

Cedric replied gently, "That's okay, having the chance to meet you is an honor."

Liam thought to himself, he didn't really want to have anything to do with Cedric.

"Cedric, we're not that close. You can just call me Mr. Liam."

"We've known each other for over twenty years, I think we're quite close."

Liam said, "Cedric, you and Tiffany were supposed to be here to bond. Even though Tiffany can't make it, it's the same if I observe you on her behalf."

"Actually, you guys don't need to bond at all. You live really close to each other. Let me tell you a secret, she's already got her eyes on someone. She's been into this guy for years. He's more awesome than you, hotter than you, basically, he's just better than you in every way imaginable."
