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.”
