Chapter 218 - Strange Lily

With her stiffened body, Lily forced herself to turn around. Then he saw the familiar charming face of Lance smiling at her. Lily's face turned crimson, her heart beats faster, and her mouth who usually talks and laughs a lot is now strangely trembling and doesn't seem to make a sound.

"Ah, Lance... do you know Lily? You said you don't know any celebrity here in Lotus City. And we've seen Lily here at Rendezvous a couple of times, why is it that you don't seem to recognize her before?" a young male engineer from Lance' circle asked Lance.

Lily felt embarrassed and disappointed as well. It seems like Lance doesn't have at least a bit of interest to her. Because if he did, he would have remembered her from a couple of times that he has seen her at Rendezvous. But when they met each for the first time a couple of days ago, he didn't have a slight recognition towards her.

"Yes, I do. We met a couple of days ago. We have a common friend." Lance said enthusiastically turning his head to the young engineer.

"Is that so. Why don't you invite them to our table?" another young professional asked him.

Lance seemed to like the idea. He turns to look at Lily and asked. "Would that be okay with you and your friends Miss Lily?"

Lily was stunned. Would that be okay? Of course, it's not! I came here because I want a moment without you in my thoughts! How come you're here? How am I able to get you out of my mind if you are here inviting me to join you?! Of course, Lily didn't have the courage to say that out loud. She was just frozen in her seat looking at Lance.

One of her friends noticed her strange behavior so she was the one who replied. It would be a little disrespectful if they refuse their invitation. Besides, Lance's group is a group of young professionals who seemed to be a good person.

Lily's group of female friends were from the entertainment industry as well. Two of them were artists, one is a supermodel and the other one is a young director.

Soon, Lance rented out a VIP Suite on the third floor for the two groups. Lily who was still in a dazed, didn't mind what is happening. She seemed to be at a loss ever since she saw Lance. Lance thought that it was just normal for Lily since she had been acting that way ever since the day, he met her

But to Lily's friends, it is a huge mystery. Lily has been quietly drinking all the time. She rarely talks or laughs. She's always stumbling and stuttering every time they ask her a question specially when it is Lance who talks to her. Lily's friends quickly noticed it. And they eventually realized that Lance has something to do with Lily's strange behavior. Poor Lance he doesn't even have an idea.

At the end of the night, everyone including Lily became drunk. Lily's friend was picked up by their managers while they intentionally leave Lily in Lance's care. Lance didn't mind driving Lily back to her apartment but he doesn't know where is her apartment so he called her manager. Since they will be working together in Lily's upcoming film, he requested Lily's manager's business card which he kept in his wallet.
