“Miss, please keep in mind the last time you overindulged yourself in alcohol. Your stomach and liver have yet to fully recover. Do you not remember the doctor saying that you must limit your alcohol intake?”
“Hush! It’s just two bottles of wine. You know I’m not a Lightweight.
This much isn’t going to get me drunk.”
Abel heaved a weary sigh.
“I’m afraid you being drunk isn’t exactly the problem. Besides, have you also forgotten that you no longer have the same level of tolerance to alcohol, again, thanks to that one incident?”
She had been thwarted twice now, and Lucinda was more than a Little miffed. She swept her arm over the table, pushing all the wine bottles to the side.
“Fine, fine! If it gets me all this nagging, then I won’t drink anymore! Take them away!”
She slumped on the table, laying her head on her crossed arms.
Abel chuckled in satisfaction and nodded at the other bodyguards.
They made quick work of clearing the table of any alcoholic drink.
It was already evening when they arrived at Stastle.
Lucinda was still deliberating whether she should go back to the Simmons residence or just stay in a hotel for the night when she received a call from Sally.
The latter had been overjoyed when she heard the news that Lucinda had finally revealed her true identity and returned to Stastle.
“Lucinda! You’re finally back. How about having some fun over at the Honeion Bar tonight? Your good old friends are eager to see you!

Don’t you want to hang out and catch up with us?”
Sally was talking about Lucinda’s childhood friends, herself included, most of whom Lucinda hadn’t seen in years. Since Lucinda wasn’t feeling particularly keen on spending the night at the Simmons residence, she gladly accepted Sally’s invitation.
She decided to just bring Abel along with her, and dispatched the rest of her men to do something else.

Rickey and Leon were tasked to find a suitable hotel and book rooms for them for the night. As for Conor, Lucinda asked him to head to the Simmons residence and inform her father of her safe arrival.
Her friends had gathered at the bar long before the agreed upon time, and waited for their long-lost friend with anticipation.
Aside from Sally, Brinleigh and Uma Payne-another one of her good friends-were also present, along with some ten other people.
Sally and Uma stood guard on both sides of the door, each with a confetti cannon in hand. They set it off the moment Lucinda pushed into the room, letting the colorful bits of paper rain over her.
“Welcome back!”
Lucinda was grinning ear to ear, feeling all warm and fuzzy from their thoughtful welcome.
“Thank you.”
