The Conqueror of the Miss Heart
98. Unbecoming

°°°

Not everyone is lucky to get a partner. For example, Daren who immediately let go of his embrace when the light was on because the woman he was hugging was not the woman he expected. Someone who is not a stranger but he does not know.

"Why is that you, where's Felice?" jolt Daren when he did not find Felice in his arms.

"What do you mean sir, you yourself are pulling me." That woman is Lucy. She was upset when the man in front of her suddenly changed attitude after the lights were on, whereas previously she hugged Lucy possessively. And now blame him.

Daren was silent because it was true that she was the one who pulled the woman earlier. So that woman was not wrong. But that's because the hairpin he gave Felice was instead used by the woman.

"What are you doing, sir." Lucy is complaining of pain because her hair is accidentally pulled when Daren forcibly takes the hairpin she was wearing.

"Master, why did you take her. Give me back my hairpin, sir." Lucy tries to take the clasp back but Daren lifts it high so Lucy can't reach it.

"Is this really yours? Do you know how much these hairpins cost. You can't possibly afford it. You must have stolen it from your lady, right?" Daren accuses Lucy of being a thief.

Hearing the commotion also made some people look at them and hear Daren's words earlier. At once Lucy gets a dislike look from everyone, as if they are afraid that their valuables will disappear.

"I didn't steal it Sir, it was mine. Miss Felice gave it to me herself. You can ask yourself if you don't believe." Lucy's eyes were already glazed over, she felt humiliated by Daren's words just now.

"And one more sir, I probably won't be able to afford such an expensive item. And I don't deserve to wear it either, but I just respect Miss Felice who gave me the hairpin. Then when he asks me to wear it, I'll wear it."

After saying that Lucy left from there. He was so ashamed of being accused of stealing, that was why he always did not want to hang out with the rich. Because they like to underestimate the poor like him.

Maybe he was immune to something like that. Or his heart is still as fragile as it is today, without feeling his eyes have dewy his gaze is blurry. Whether he wanted to step his foot anywhere, which he obviously wanted to get away from the rich.

Flashbacks

"Lucy, let's come here in a minute to start the show," Felice asked. The always cheerful looking girl who looked so beautiful in Lucy's eyes.

"I don't think I'm a non, I don't deserve it." Of course Lucy must be aware that she does not deserve to be there. What if later who became a dance partner was disappointed because he was just a parent caregiver.

"Lucy, you can't talk like that. Dad Alex never differentiated anyone's social status. You can come play together, it's just a lucy game. You didn't hear that there was such an interesting gift, he said, I'd love to get a vacation ticket abroad." Felice is funny when she wants something. There must be a lot of guys who like Felice, Lucy thought.

Yeah, too, he says there's a prize money too. If I get that gift I can bring my son a proper treatment. I heard that Mr. Daniel is a great surgeon, so maybe I can take my son to see Mr. Daniel.

"Lucy don't daydream much, let's hurry." Lucy followed Felice, all for her son's sake.

"We're here, and then after the lights go out you go ahead. I'll also look for my prince." Cute smile.

"There will definitely be a kind-hearted prince for Miss, just like Miss Mia who found her prince." Lucy prayed for Felice.

"For you too Lucy, you're beautiful there'll be a prince for you too" Felice said.

I never dreamed that high, Miss. No one wants to go with a poor woman like me. Moreover, I already have a son. I only want the reward if God allows it, otherwise I'm fine too.

"H wait for Lucy." Felice took off the hairpin she was wearing. "Looks like it suits you, here I put it on."

"No, Miss, this belongs to Miss. How can I wear it." Lucy refused and moved her head which was to be paired with a hairpin.

"It's yours now, look beautiful." Felice confesses that Lucy is actually beautiful, evident when she takes off her nurse's uniform and wears a dress like tonight.

"No need, or I'll be mad. You keep it for you."

"Thank you, miss" said Lucy, she felt very lucky to have such a good employer. The Madame Emma he cared for also never troubled him.

End flashback.

Lucy recalled the moment before the lights in the room were turned off. Should indeed he refused to use a clasp as expensive as that, he felt already very ignorant of himself because he had hoped there would be a good prince for him. In fact, the most suitable place for him is just to be a messenger.

And now he's also missing his non-giving hairpin. He couldn't possibly take her back from the man's hand, nor did he clearly see who the man was for wearing the mask. To be sure, what the man was waiting for was Felice.

I have to apologize to Miss Felice, I'll replace it later. I have a little savings, hopefully enough.

In the party.

Felice who was engrossed in looking at her brother and sister-in-law also heard a commotion. Seen from a distance, Lucy's guardian mamahnya was noisily with a man.

Felice was about to approach Lucy.

"Wait for Miss, where are you going? Isn't the party not over." Someone stopped Felice's steps by blocking his hand.

Aa. ya forgot the man was her dance partner.

"Ehh. I'm sorry, sir, I have a business for a moment. Can you wait here, I'll be back when I'm done."

"Can I believe, what if you don't come back and I become a man who doesn't have a dance partner."

What the fuck this guy. Felice's making sense.

"I'm the one who always keeps his word Sir, so I'm definitely back." Felice tried to convince the man she didn't know.

"What if you lie and run, what's your name?"

"Name...?" What to tell this stranger's name.

"Yes, tell me your name and I'll let go of your hand."

Felice hears a commotion with Felice and the man she suspects is Daren, she sees Lucy crying. He must leave immediately to straighten things out, Felice will not let Lucy's good name be tarnished by it.

"My name is Felice, sir. Now you can let go of my hand, right."

Sure enough the man kept his promise and Felice immediately went to approach Lucy.

"Felice.a name that's as cute and adorable as the person."
