My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 85
The manager was in a discussion with the host on the best way Lucas should make his appearance on stage. “Mr. Nolan must give a speech later. Should he make his appearance during the finale or should he do it during the opening?”
“Um… Should we ask Mr. Nolan for his opinion?” The host worked with Nolan Entertainment too but this was the first time he heard about Lucas attending an event like this.
Is the rumor about Lucas and Cindy being a couple true?
Did Mr. Nolan get down from his high horse just to attend a birthday party like this?
“Alright. I’ll ask Mr. Nolan when he gets here,” the manager said, excited. When Mr. Nolan comes, I must take this opportunity to hype the news of Cindy and Mr. Nolan.
I will make sure Cindy reached the apex of her career in the entertainment industry.
Half an hour later, Lucas parked his car just outside the theatre. Once Hera got down from the car, both of them entered the theatre together.
The theater was packed with fans from all over the world. All of them were here to celebrate Cindy’s birthday.
Hera was somewhat envious of Cindy. When I become a popular pianist, I’ll definitely have more fans than Cindy.
She’s just a not-so-famous celebrity. I’m much more advantaged in terms of my family background.
The manager had been standing by the entrance to welcome Lucas. When he saw the latter, he said excitedly, “Mr. Nolan, it’s an honor to have you here.”
Lucas’ expression was cold when he asked, “Where’s Ms. Wynn?”
“She’s backstage. This way, please.” The manager brought Lucas backstage. He only realized a while later that a woman was with Lucas.
The manager originally thought that she was just a fan of Cindy. But now that he thought about it, he felt that something wasn’t right.
Could she be the rumored Mrs. Nolan?
“And this is…?” the manager asked carefully while they made their way backstage.
“Oh. This is Ms. Hera Chapman.” Lucas’ expression still remained cold.
Such a simple introduction?
The manager was more confused now. He had a nagging feeling that he had heard about her surname before.
But they had already reached backstage so he didn’t think much about it anymore.
Cindy got up from her seat happily upon hearing their footsteps. “Mr. Nolan, you’re here!”
She’s playing innocent and putting on a dedicated persona!
Hera was so disgusted by her act, she almost puked. “Ms. Wynn, you’re such a dedicated person! I’ve got to hand it to you.”
“Thank you, Miss.” Cindy smiled slightly and added, “I’m honored to have you and Mr. Nolan attend my birthday party.”
“This is Ms. Hera Chapman.” The manager quickly relayed what Lucas had said earlier to Cindy.
Cindy smiled and said nothing else.
She stared at Lucas expectantly. It’s my birthday today. He must’ve bought me a present, right?
Even if we’re just friends, it’s not right to attend a birthday party without a gift, right?
But things did not turn out the way she expected.
Spencer came in right at that moment with a bouquet in hand. He walked towards Cindy and said, “Happy birthday, Ms. Wynn. This is a gift from Mr. Nolan.”
A bouquet of flowers?
