The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1293  The First Preparation

This is the problem of idolizing someone. Inevitably people will create a perfect image of their idol, to the point you can no longer see the mistakes and shortcomings in that person, later on, we subconsciously put our ideals, hopes, and aspirations in them, until...the idol makes mistakes even if only a little, it's enough to destroy the whole image you got about your idol as a consequence you begin to question your judgment then you become disappointed with yourself.

Disappointment turned to anger and then to hatred. Soon you find yourself hating your idols as much as you loved them before. This is why Lory never felt happy to be idolized by anyone, as if her burden is not hard enough she must worry she would disappoint other people she doesn't know.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Lory saw two people enter in a flashy style followed by the cafe staff and accompanied by the cafe manager who smiled ostentatiously. The attention of all guests was immediately drawn to the couple who just entered the rooftop area. Lory's expression instantly changed, her eyes followed the couple then a smile bloomed on her face, Lory whispered to Lydia, "They're here..."

Lydia's back subconsciously straightened, and her whole face became visibly tense.

"Calm down, it's gonna be fine" Lory's soft and reassuring voice was gradually eased Lydia's anxiety.

Lydia finished her latte, and then Lory called the waiter to make a new order at the same time she watched the man in the VIP area. The man was dressed neatly in a white shirt and khaki trousers, his face was quite pleasant with a neat haircut and clean face, overall he looked decent, a bit boring though. The man looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties, and the woman who seemed to be his date was also not bad, though she got the top look with heavy makeup and big wavy blonde hair that did not move even when the wind blew it. The woman pouted her lips coyly as if her lips were not big enough, it reminded her of the ape butt.

Lydia pretended to be taking a selfie but was actually taking a photo of the man behind her, after that, she ran the facial recognition program on her cellphone for a few seconds after the confirmed sign appeared the man's personal info appeared.

"It was confirmed" Lydia showed her phone to Lory.

The information shows the man is named Peter Miller, twenty-eight years old, a resident of Luxemborough. The corners of Lory's lips curved upwards, finally finding assistant Amanda Haynes.

Information about Amanda Haynes was obtained from Garrof's various connections. Lory chose Peter Miller because compared to Amanda Haynes he was more approachable. In contrast to Amanda who used to lock herself in her office, Peter has quite high social activities, for example, he even dates a second-rate model and it seems like he is head over heels for her as well.

From Peter's girlfriend's social media posts, today is their one-month anniversary and they will first celebrate at this upscale cafe before going out for dinner somewhere. Lory didn't bother to know further, the only thing that bothered her was the fact that people were celebrating one month's birthdays!

Lory didn't expect people to want to celebrate their one-month - three-month - seventh month and so-on anniversaries, after that she was hit by the realization that she and Zhao Li Xin had never celebrated their anniversary! What's worse is that they never celebrate their birthday!

Then again, with a curse that was ready to devour her soul anytime, who would've cared to celebrate her birthday besides they were on a mission to hunt Lazarus and Lao Min Na not to mention all the other enemies that struck them everywhere - every time, so it's no wonder no one think about that measly thing, even their wedding banquet is only a ruse to lure their enemy.

Lory pouted her lips, this wasn't right, no matter what she would celebrate whenever Zhao Li Xin returned but then again when exactly was their anniversary? and when is Zhao Li Xin's birthday? Lory's expression became ugly, she felt like she had failed as a wife.

A moment later the waiters came pushing the cake trolley. It was a fairly large three-layer cake with a luxurious design decorated with fireworks and then a waiter. Peter's girlfriend covered her mouth in disbelief, she was delighted with the surprise and everyone clapped to congratulate the couple who had just passed one month.

"...." Lory was rendered speechless. Is this the standard for one month's anniversary if that is then what should she do for her and Zhao Li Xin's anniversary? giant fireworks at the cestine Palace?

The waiter popped out the champagne a second later the carbonated water burst into the air like a sparkling diamond, everyone cheered then Peter and his girlfriend kissed passionately while the waiter poured champagne into crystal glasses for the couple after that they distributed free champagne to all the guests on the rooftop.

Peter smiles smugly after throwing a big celebration and his girlfriend can't stop smiling she feels happy to become the center of attention she can't stop taking selfies and posting them on her social media, how could Lory know? that because her phone received non-stop notifications from Peter's girlfriend's social media, Lory had to mute her cellphone sounds.

'Well, vanity is a sin' Lory watched the pair with a helpless look.

"Is it time?" Lydia Rubbing her hands nervously, she looked a little tense but excited.

Lory stifled a smile while propping her chin she smiled playfully "Can you do it?"

Lydia took a small bottle from her pocket and then sprayed it on her cell phone after that she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a few seconds later she opened her eyes full of determination, and firmly said: "I can do this!"

Lory raised her iced tea glass "Go, get him!"

Lydia got up from her seat and walked towards the VIP section. At the same time, her heart was pounding like crazy but she kept her face calm, she repeatedly told herself 'Be brave Lydia!'

 When she got close to the couple she smiled broadly then called Peter's Girlfriend with an enthusiastic tone "Miss Julie, I'm your fan, may I take a photo with you!"

Peter looked annoyed, he was about to say something but Peter's girlfriend's face beamed like a lightbulb "Of course, you can come here!"

Lydia was relieved she stridden toward Julie, but Julie then asked her "Where do you see me?"

Lydia was stunned for a second but quickly recovered, "I saw you at the water pump commercial" Luckily Lory had shown Lydia a few of Julie's modeling gigs.

Julie was pleased she pressed her hands on her chest "I know I look good in there!" she sounded very proud of herself.

Lydia was barely able to maintain her smile, so she quickly handed her cell phone to Peter "Sorry sir, can you take our picture" Lydia smiled innocently.

Peter wants to call the waiter instead but his girlfriend gives him a threatening look "Peter darling can you take our picture, please!" her eyes tell him to shut up and just do it!

Peter swallowed his dissatisfaction, he took Lydia's cell phone and took several pictures. After they were done Lydia thanked Julie many times before returning to her table.

Peter's girlfriend looks very proud after someone asks for her photo, and her smile gets even bigger. Peter rolled his eyes inwardly, he lifted the crystal glass and took a sip. Peter faintly smelled the scent of iris but he didn't think much of it, after all, it wasn't strange to smell any perfume in a place like this.

However a minute later he felt a little dizzy, he wondered if it was because of the champagne but he only drank a little. His head spinning Peter pinched his glabella, he thought it might be because his immune system wasn't very good recently due to overwork.

"I'm going to the bathroom" Peter got up from his seat.

"Okay!" His girlfriend answered without looking at him as she was still busy taking selfies to post on her social media later.

Peter went through a long corridor and then turned following the sign he entered the men's bathroom, Lory came out of the women's bathroom then walked toward the men's bathroom calmly, before she pushed the door she happened to stumble a man who had just come out of the men's bathroom but Lory was unfazed, she flicked a smiled then enter the bathroom without care. The man was stunned but not wanting to be involved in other people's business the man left without saying anything.

Lory peeked to see if any other people were in the bathroom luckily she found no one other than Peter who was leaning on the sink, but after making sure no one was there she put 'Do not enter, the bathroom is being cleaned' at front of the men's bathroom. Not long after Lory heard a thud and then found Peter lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.

"Is this Peter Miller's girlfriend?" Garrof stares at the tablet with everyone.

"Uh -huh," Lory nod "What commercial is this?"

"It's a water pump commercial," Lloyd said.

"Why did she dress like that, is that even a clothes?" Lydia confused

"....." everyone watching the commercial with a colorful expression.

"Why did she touch the water pump like that?" Lory tilted her head.

"Why is she so wet?" Lydia was confused even more.

Owen stare with his mouth open "Wow she really for big....."

Everyone staring at him.

"Per...personality" Owen gulped.

Daniel rolled his eyes.

Lory's lips curl seeing the water burst heavily and pour on top of the model "Well, I guess that means she made the water pump very happy"

"I'm gonna buy that, two" Garrof held his breath.

"Is this a Por*, it should be right?" Lydia can't think of anything else.

Everyone "..."
