Dwayne finally agreed.
When he turned around, he saw the cleaning lady busy cleaning up his mess. He felt a tinge of remorse, and he made his way over to her, offering a heartfelt apology and some compensation.
To his surprise, the cleaning lady’s face lit up, and she forgave him immediately.
Lucinda then had Dwayne’s agent compensate the crew for the broken props.
She stuck around to oversee the rest of the filming. Dwayne worked diligently for the rest of the day, making sure everything went off without a hitch. The director was thrilled with the progress and kept thanking Lucinda.
“He’s just a kid who’s a bit headstrong. You need to put your foot down and not let him get away with things,” Lucinda said to the director.
The director nodded with a grin.
When the workday ended, Dwayne grabbed Lucinda’s hand and acted like a spoiled kid, insisting to take her out to dinner as an apology for his behavior earlier in the day.
Surprised by his sudden change of heart, she approved of the dinner.
To avoid being noticed by his fans, he wore shades and a mask to dinner. Even with a close look, he could barely be recognized.
They both went to Douglas, the most exclusive and pricey seven-star restaurant in Forden.
Lucinda was immediately taken with the unique decor. She hated to dine in bright places but the light here was perfect because it was dim. This way, she would be at ease while she enjoyed the tasty meal.

Immediately after they finished ordering, Dwayne leaned in and whispered, “See that guy at the next table? Do you know him? He’s been eyeing us up since we got here.”
Lucinda turned her head and saw Nathaniel dining with Eleanor.
Eleanor caught Lucinda’s eye and smirked at her, clearly relishing in their encounter and feeling like she won.
Lucinda quickly looked away and muttered, “That’s the president of the Roberts Group.”
Dwayne nodded, adding, “I think that lady by his side is his soon-to-be fiancee. They just announced their relationship today and it’s said they will be engaged next month.”
Lucinda was looking down blankly at the napkin.
But Dwayne was keen on speaking further on the subject.
“I heard he was once married to a woman for three years before this. I wonder who that poor woman is.”
Lucinda looked up sharply and said, “That’s me.”
Dwayne was taken aback for a moment, not fully comprehending her words. But when it dawned on him, he banged the table with fury.
“What?! You are his ex-wife?”
His outburst attracted the attention of nearby diners, including Nathaniel who looked displeased.
