She was still wearing her costume, an exquisite dress that complimented her gentle nature perfectly.
Noelle beamed as soon as she noticed Lucinda, waving eagerly and causing the dangling gems on her headdress to clink against each other.
Lucinda returned the warm greeting and sat down next to Noelle.
The two women chatted harmoniously, catching up with each other and what they had been up to lately.
That was when Noelle suddenly remembered something important.
âBy the way, Lucinda, our Butterfly Girls team received an invitation from the Hernandez family this morning.
Apparently, theyâre holding a birthday party for Melody, and want us to perform for the party.
Are you aware of this?â
Lucinda frowned.
âDid this happen just this morning? Your agent has yet to report it to me.

Noelle lowered her eyes and pondered the matter.
âI mean, Melody is a vicious woman.
Iâm guessing that the Hernandez family is plotting something.
Those people are up to no good! What do you think?â
âMelody is notorious for her arrogance, and she never Liked hanging around other celebrities.
But they want you to come to her birthday party now? Sheâs obviously targeting you.
â
Noelle took a deep breath and said nothing.
Lucinda reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
âDonât be afraid.
You should go to the party and find out her true intentions.
Cyrus and I will back you up.
â
âWell, itâs not that Iâm afraid of her.
And I do trust you.
I suppose Iâll goâ¦â
Lucindaâs eyes lit up.
âOh, this could be so much fun! Letâs see if she tries to stir up some trouble at her own party.
Iâll gladly help her turn her birthday party completely upside down!â
Noelle pulled back and stared at her friend in awe.
Something else occurred to Lucinda, then, and she turned serious.
âTell me the truth, Noelle.
Do you really like Cyrus? Do you wishâ¦
Do you truly want to be with him?â
Noelle ducked her head again.
She thought about the agreement she had made with Cyrus, and nodded slightly.
âFor now, yes.
If he changes his someday, then I will let go.

Lucinda could only sigh.
