”Lu, at this romantic time, are you sure you want to talk about such a depressing topic?”
Lucy Katz curled up her lips.
“I’m just worried that if you got photographed, then all our efforts would be wasted. When that time comes, your mother will break us up and we can’t even retaliate.”
Although Joel Foster knew that Lucy was right, he still could not help but feel upset.
He snorted and frowned.
“One year later, we must announce it to the world immediately!”
Lucy saw his dissatisfied face and could not hold back her laughter.
“Okay, whatever you say. We’ll go public as soon as one year is up.”
Joel felt much better after that.
He lowered his head to look at her and said, “Don’t worry. I came in a disguise. No one saw me.”
Lucy felt more at ease when she heard this.
She lifted her arms and put them around his neck.
“Then you should stay here tonight and leave tomorrow.”
To her surprise, Joel squinted and smiled deviously.
“Wifey, I have to discuss something with you.”
Lucy was taken aback.
Honestly, this was the first time Joel had addressed her like this ever since they received their marriage certificate.
Her cheeks flushed red, but from another perspective, as a married couple, this was completely normal.
Lucy pressed her lips together and nodded her head in all seriousness.
“What is it? Tell me.”
“You see...Now that I’ve been kicked out of the Foster Corporation by my mother, I temporarily have nothing to do. How about you take me in to be your assistant?”
Lucy was stunned.
She widened her eyes in shock.
The next second, Lucy let go of him.
“Don’t you even think about it! Joel Foster, this is not a game. It’s not like you don’t know how handsome you look. Aren’t you afraid someone will recognize you?”
What a joke!
Follow her as her assistant?
Everyone was not blind. They could recognize him with one look. How could he be an assistant?
How would she be able to explain this to everyone when news about the Second Young Master of the Foster family becoming her assistant spread out?
Lucy rejected this request without a second thought.
“That is impossible! You don’t need to bring this up anymore!”
However, Joel was not in a hurry.
He said gently, “Lu, just think about it. Don’t worry. Since I proposed this, I already have a way to disguise myself. I promise no one will be able to recognize me.”
Lucy was still frowning.
“No! It's too risky!”
Her concern was not without reason.
After all, Joel was too distinguishable. Even with a disguise, it was difficult not to recognize him.
At that moment, if he were exposed, she could not even imagine the consequences.
Most importantly, Lucy had no confidence in the man.
With his temper, if he caused any trouble, she would be the unlucky one in the end.
Therefore, Lucy rejected him without hesitation.
To her surprise, Joel did not persist after she refused him.
He sighed helplessly and seemed very disappointed.
“Fine. Since you don’t approve, then forget about it.”
The atmosphere of the place was elegant and beautiful. Lucy thought about it and texted Joel to inform him of her location. She then put away her phone, got dressed, and followed everyone out.
At that moment, Joel was planning for something big.
He looked for Susan Reed and told her his plan.
Susan was shocked and did not want to agree, but she did not dare to reject him because of his identity.
In the end, she could only agree reluctantly.
Lucy was unaware of Joel’s plans at that time.
After the closing ceremony, she got back to the hotel and slept.
Due to the late hour, it was inconvenient to go back to her apartment, so she just stayed at the hotel.
The next morning, Lucy packed up her things and went back to her apartment with Carina.
Unexpectedly, when the car arrived at the apartment lobby and before they got down from the car, they could already see from a distance that a bunch of reporters were waiting at the entrance.
Lucy frowned. Carina’s expression changed and quickly asked the driver to reverse the car and got out of sight.
The driver’s movements were quick and they managed to find a hiding spot.
The 3 of them hid in a dark corner and were perplexed as they looked at the reporters waiting at the apartment entrance.
Carina angrily said, “Why are they like this? They’re all cooped up here. They won’t even let people live!”
Lucy was calm.
During this period, they were always on the set. The set had a strict security system and did not let any outsiders in.
Therefore, these reporters could not find her even if they wanted to interview her.
However, it was different here.
They knew that Lucy lived here, so even if she did not go back that day, she would show up the next day.
As long as they stayed here, they would see her sooner or later.
Lucy knew that even though the hot topic online had been removed, the paparazzi did not forget about it.
