Mandy looked at the man in the wheelchair. He became gentle and the warm light of the sun shone

on his face. outlining his soft silhouette.'13

At that moment, she couldn't help but be stunned'13

When it came to Lucia, this man who had a detached look was much gentler.'®

While she was surprised, she couldn't help but think more. Catching the ridicule that emerged from

That's all.’ ®

The aroma of the barbecue restaurant was overwhelming.'®

Lucia, who had been hungry all morning, had a huge appetite. She took a big bite, and then a few

slices of lettuce-covered'®

grilled meat went down her belly, instantly relieving her hunger. When she looked up, she saw

grab Harris’ meat?" ®

I grab it, it's mine.” At that, Lucia looked at Burton and smiled helplessly with him. She knew this

best friend very well. She would only be like this with people she was interested in and for those she

wasn't interested in, she wouldn't even talk to them. She grabbed Burton's beef, which meant she

probably fancied him. The atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and happy. At the end of the

month at the Austos International Venue. Do you want to go?"'®

Talking about the concert, Lucia turned her head and asked her, Is there a program of yours?"

Paula raised an eyebrow, her cheeks glowing with red. Then, she smiled, "There's an ensemble, and

I'm the cellist.”

Paula had been back in Cannada for a long time, and she hadn't done much performance work for a

while. Now that she'®

finally had a program to star in, she, as her best friend, definitely had to be there to support her.

"I'm definitely going.” Lucia agreed and turned to look at Burton on the other side, smiling lightly.

"Let's go see Paula's cello performance together,

Paula swept a glance at him and deliberately said lightly, "All right, then I'll keep an extra ticket."

Seeing this, Lucia just felt like a third wheel standing in the middle of the two. She smiled, and when

she saw the taxi parked at the curb, she immediately had an idea. "Paula, I still have some pain in my

stomach and I'm going home first.” She said, and then looked at Burton, "Harris, please help me

take Paula home." After she said these words, without waiting for their reaction, she pulled the

suitcase and quickly walked to the taxi to get'® into the car.'®

The moment when the car door closed, Lucia saw her best friend's slightly angry and delicate face.

Then she looked at Burton whose face was with a few smiles.’ ®

She curled her lips into a smile and immediately instructed the driver to go.'®

Since she and August had met, August had rarely taken the initiative to call her, let alone two at

The phone rang several times before someone answered. "Hello? Before she had time to and her

"Hello? Hello, would you want to speak to August?" Hearing no response, the woman on owner.

Wasn't she the actress, Adeline, whom she had met in the company that day?"

She was with August and in Franksfurt!'®

Lucia didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly said "Sorry, wrong number" and hung up

the phone without thinking’

She held the phone, feeling some unspoken emotions overwhelm her. Lucia bit her lower lip and

thought of August telling her that the company was only sending out colleagues on business trips.

trip to Bearlin? A night out? And what about her couldn't change that perception just because he

apartment. At the same time, in the restaurant of hotel, August walked to the dining table, untied
