Chapter 6 Meet Again
678 Words
A day later, Daisy received a message from Lucas asking her to come downstairs.
Armed with the fake evidence she had prepared, Daisy boarded a Maybach.
Expecting to be taken directly to Lucas's house, she was surprised when he instead brought her to a shopping mall.
Lucas picked out a pure white bustier mermaid dress for Daisy, which accentuated her alluring figure to perfection. It was like it was tailor-made for her.
After that, he escorted her to a high-end salon, where several stylists and makeup artists surrounded her.
They curled her waist-length straight hair into big waves and gave her a meticulous makeup look.
Lucas circled behind Daisy and adorned her with a diamond necklace worth tens of millions, making her appear even more noble, elegant, and refreshing.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Daisy felt unfamiliar. She didn't look like herself, but more like Cathy.
If Lino saw her like this, he might think she was deliberately imitating Cathy.
She chuckled to herself, the smile bittersweet.
After the transformation, Lucas took her to Britney, the largest aristocratic club in X city, where the influential and wealthy gather.
On her way here, Daisy has already made a plan. If Kevin doesn't immediately uncover that the evidence is fabricated, she will leave X city with Bette forever.
However, if he discovers the truth, she will contact the prosecutors at once, even if his uncle is the Chief of Police in X city and cannot abuse private power.
As the elevator neared the top floor, Daisy's heart pounded faster. She took a deep breath and followed Lucas out of the elevator to the entrance of the private room.
The door opened revealing a subtle glow of light spilling out, with soothing music softly playing in the background.
This was quite surprising to Daisy as Lucas's taste was expected to be more geared towards nightclub vibes, yet the place was elegantly decorated, with a warm atmosphere, and even the music wasn't as deafening as in nightclubs; instead, it was quite comfortable.
Lucas pulled her into his arms and leaned down to kiss her cheek, "Darling, you need to perform well today. Whether we can secure a new project depends on you."
Daisy was puzzled. Why would Kevin bring her in for a project signing? Was it because he thought she was good-looking and wanted her to drink with his partner?
Lucas's intimate gesture made her nauseous, trying to avoid his touch by turning her head, she accidentally caught sight of a man sitting in the sofa area.
He was wearing a white shirt, slightly unbuttoned at the collar, revealing enticing collarbones. His muscular forearms with rolled-up sleeves and distinct knuckles, holding a tall glass.
The red wine inside, under the dim light, gleamed like blood, similar to the intense gaze he fixed on her, crimson and unsettling.
Daisy was surprised to see Lino here. She always thought Lino and Lucas were from different circles, especially considering Lino's family controlled the economic lifeline of Europe, while Lucas's family was just a construction giant in X City, insignificant compared to Lino's.
Yet, these two extremes were gathering in such an entertainment venue privately.
Why did Lino look at her with such eyes just now?
Was he angry because he saw her being kissed by another man?
While Daisy was lost in her thoughts, the man suddenly withdrew his gaze, nonchalant as if it was just a casual glance earlier.
Daisy's heart trembled. She knew someone as cold-hearted as Lino wouldn't care if she was being kissed by someone else.
She also averted her gaze, focusing on Lucas, "What do you want me to do?"
Lucas indulgently pinched her cheek, "I'll introduce you to a few friends first, then we'll have some fun games, once they're having fun, the project will naturally fall into place."
Upon hearing this, Daisy's complexion changed slightly; it seemed she needed to quickly find a way to get out of this situation.
As she was contemplating how to deal with Lucas later, he suddenly pushed her towards Lino.
