Chapter 44

Outside the Starlight, Lucia got out of the car.

When she saw the crowd at the entrance of the venue, she felt a little scared from the bottom of her
heart.

The red carpet was laid from the entrance to the street and there were quite a few media reporters at
the entrance.

That was a much bigger scene than she had imagined.

"Do you want me to go with you, Madam?"

It was only when Burton’s voice came from behind her that Lucia came back to her senses.

She turned her head around gently.

"No, I can do it myself."

She was simply interested in this exhibition, so she would leave after having a look at the jewelry and
whatnot.

After all, she wasn’t used to such an occasion.

In her high heels, she stepped a lot more slowly than usual, which added a bit of elegance.

At the entrance, the receptionist put a bracelet on her wrist when she showed the invitation.

Once inside, the silver Starlight Hall came into view.

The silver-gray irregular walls made it more artistic, spacious and bright.



There were already a lot of people gathered there.

Many transparent showcases were placed on both sides, which extended in parallel to the largest
jewelry showcase.

Lucia was excited and began to admire the jewelry in the showcases.

Although she had never bought much jewelry growing up and had little knowledge of jewelry, she could
not help but be impressed by the shiny and beautiful designs.

She just finished half of the tour after quite a while, but her feet hurt from walking in the nearly 10 cm
heels, so she went to the rest area on the other side.

The rest area and the exhibition area were separated by long tables, on which were exquisite
refreshments.

Lucia picked up a glass of juice and hesitated, looking at all those refreshments.

Should she take some? She looked around and saw that others were all drinking and talking without
eating anything.

Lucia took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and finally gathered the courage to pick up a plate.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Lucia?"

Lucia paused with a start and looked over following the voice.

She couldn’t help but freeze when she saw Carol in a long black dress.

Carol watched as Lucia 1 turned around.



Her face turned cold when she saw how beautiful Lucia was with red lips and black hair in the gold silk
dress that outlined her pretty waist.

Carol had thought it couldn’t be Lucia just now, only to find that it was! Lucia had been such a bumpkin.

Why was she suddenly so good at dressing up and coming to this kind of occasion? Feeling jealous
inside, Carol still managed to curl her lips.

"So, it’s you.Who are you here with?"

With that, she looked around and felt relieved when she didn’t see August.

Lucia hadn’t expected to meet Carol here.She took a deep breath and replied with a nonchalant face.

"I’m here alone.What is it?"

Carol could see that Lucia did not want to talk to her.

She smiled and said, "Nothing.I’ve actually been meaning to meet you.And I’d like to thank you for
what happened last time."

Hearing that, Lucia then remembered that Carol and Archibald had come to her for a favor at the Lion
Group last time.

She did ask August for a favor back then, but she did it for the innocent employees of Man Hong, not
for Carol and Archibald.

"You’re welcome."

After that, Lucia put down the plate in her hand and decided to leave.

After all, she didn’t want to have too many interactions with Carol.



"Carol."

Archibald suddenly came from the side.

He was about to talk to Carol when he saw lucia next to Carol He froze at first and then his eyes shone
with light "Lucia?"

Lucia did not say anything She just nodded at him slightly and turned to leave straight away Archibald
watched her from behind Al that moment, he forgot that Carol was still standing beside him When he
was with Lucia before, he hadn’t thought she was that pretly, but he was amazed when he saw her
today Carol noticed the look in Archibald’s eyes and instantly felt a surge of anger.

She grabbed his arm and pinched him fiercely "What are you looking at?"

It was only when he felt the pain in his arm that Archibald came to his senses.

"Carol No, I wasn’t looking ! was just wondering why she looks so pretty now."

Carol’s face darkened at these words.

She said through clenched teeth, "Archibald, you think she is pretty!"

Archibald realized that he shouldn’t have said that, so he denied it quickly.

"No, I don’t! Honey, you are the most beautiful in my eyes!"

Although he said all the nice things and used all the words in his vocabulary to compliment her, Carol
still felt awful inside and her dislike for Lucia grew even worse.

After a while, Carol sat on the couch in the rest area, looking at Lucia on the other side and gritting her
teeth with hatred.



She slowly clenched her fists and thought secretly that since Lucia had shown up today, she would
make a fool of the girl right in front of everyone! Meanwhile, Lucia was so focused on the refreshments
in front of her that she didn’t even notice that someone had been staring at her for quite a while.

"Look, your Prince Charming is here!"

"What Prince Charming? I just walked around and didn’t see a single one that caught my eye.It’s so
boring."

"Look, isn’t that August, your Prince Charming?"

"August! It’s really him.Let’s go and see!"

The two women at the table next to her were talking to each other and Lucia could hear them really
well When she heard the familiar name, she couldn’t help but raise her head and look over.

Sure enough, there was a group of people in the exhibition area, and the man standing in the middle
was shining so brightly that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

It was really him! Lucia felt her heart skipping a beat.

Almost immediately, she put down the fork in her hand and wiped her mouth before she got up and
approached there.

Although her relationship with August couldn’t be disclosed yet, she couldn’t help but feel proud when
she saw such a dazzling man in the crowd.

Only when she got closer did Lucia see clearly that the representative of the organizer was talking to
August about the jewelry next to them and that the media were taking pictures, The representative
smiled and said, "As far as I know, you are very interested in jewelry, Mr.Adams, so I’m wondering if
you have any plans to enter the jewelry industry in the future."



August looked gentle and said courteously.

"I’m still thinking about it, but if I meet a partner I can work with, the idea will be on the agenda."

"Then I hope we can work together sometime."
