A Small Gift From Lucielle
Being accused of stalking, Lucielle simply smiled and said, "it's you who's in my direction."
"Oh? And where must you be going?"
"To greet the man who invited me, where else?" Lucielle said and walked past Nicole.
Nicole frowned and stared at Lucielle's distancing back. She failed to understand why this woman was acting in such a strange manner. Her being acquainted with Alex was highly suspicious and Nicole couldn't let Alex be in danger.
She hurried towards Alex's family and closed her distance between Lucielle.
Alex, sipping on a non-alcoholic drink, was amused to see Nicole and Lucielle both walk towards him together. They seemed to be closer than before for some reason.
He got up from his seat to greet them, but once they neared him, they stopped in their spot and seemed to go into a daze.
'Hmm?' Alex walked towards the two to see what was wrong.
