Lucien's POV
I still couldn't believe a fool like Alistair became a huge star. But what pissed me off more was that he burned all his damn savings just to see Seraphina.
After all, he loved money so much.
"What the hell was so important?" I glared at him, trying to grab the cigarette packs. "You worked your ass off for that."
"I don't know," he said, dodging me skillfully. "Adrian called out of nowhere, right before Sera's birthday, and told me I had to be there."
"Then why are you here so late?"
"I couldn't just drop everything. It took me some time to fix shit. So now I'm here. So you see…"
Then he froze in mid-sentence.
"Wait… don't tell me… he called you too?" His eyes widened. "He asked if I had someone I could trust. I just threw your name out randomly. Then he asked for your number."
Of course he did.
