Chapter 185 - Ch. 185 Lydia's Goal

As usual, Nick's performance was indeed very remarkable, and Nick's female fans were mounting. Lydia smiled, amused, when she saw Nick waving his hand at the audience with a big smile.

It was the boy's nature. He always spreads his charm wherever he is, and no girl doesn't like him.

Nick's musical team concert event lasted for half an hour and was replaced by a group of professional musicians who would play music until midnight.

Lydia was worried that she would be caught in the middle and couldn't get out, so she decided to leave before Nick's music team finished the last song.

That's when she realized she was back alone and couldn't find Kaylee and her fiancé.

Where do they go? As she had expected, the lovers preferred to be alone rather than with her. She could understand that, so she didn't feel disappointed.

Lydia took a deep breath before finally trying to make her way through the crowd of people surrounding her. She breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she made her way out of the crowd.

Lydia was about to decide to go home when she felt her phone vibrate in her sling bag. She reflexively grabbed her phone because she didn't want to miss a customer if someone sought her services.

But… this time, she hoped not to pick it up when she heard a woman's voice on the other end.

"Lydia, did you come?"

"Miss Wendy, I came, and the show will be over soon. I'll go home first."

"Wait a minute. Can you come backstage in ten minutes?"

"Ah?"

"See you there."

"But…" Lydia couldn't continue her protest because Wendy had ended the call.

She ached to reject it and tried to contact Wendy. If there was something Wendy wanted to tell her, they didn't need to meet backstage.

Lydia didn't want to see Nick, not after she saw the young man's blinding performance. She was worried that she would no longer be able to hide her feelings for the young man.

It's true, Lydia likes Nick more than just a friend, but she tried to hide and bury it deep. She knows her feelings would be fruitless because Nick was not a serious person in a relationship.

Nick likes flirting around and fancies all the pretty girls who are older than him. His flirtatious and charming smile had been his habit since childhood, and Lydia couldn't possibly change the boy's habit. Neither did she want to make any changes to Nick because his puppy-like demeanor was his strong charm.

But… still… she couldn't stand being jealous of all the girls Nick fancied. She just hopes that Nick could find a woman who can accept him for who he is.

After all, Nick was still very young. That boy had a long journey ahead, so he didn't need to rush to find a perfect girl.

Yet now... Wendy told her to go backstage? If she hadn't seen Nick's performance from start to finish, maybe Lydia could still hide her feeling.

It was hard to hide it now, especially after opening her heart once again, and she was fascinated by Nick's appearance.

Somehow she felt Nick gave everything he had on his guitar playing today. It was very different from that night when Nick had a duel with one of his seniors.

Today… Nick seems more charismatic than usual… so how can she bury her feelings back?

'Could you come backstage in ten minutes?'

Ten minutes. There's still ten minutes… seems like enough to bury the feelings again.

Lydia stood in front of a waffle shop and leaned against the glass window. She closed her eyes, and her thoughts shifted to her grandmother, who was still living in the hospital.

"Lydia. You don't have to try so hard for my well-being. I know very well what my condition is like, and my time is near."

"Grandma…"

"I'm sorry that I can't accompany you as long as you want. But I wish I could see my future son-in-law."

"Then hang on. Once I find someone I like, I'll introduce him to you."

Lydia knew her grandmother didn't demand that she find a handsome or rich husband-to-be. Her grandmother wants her to live happily with the person she loves and also loves her sincerely.

But… she also knew… her grandmother wouldn't be able to leave in peace if her future life wasn't insured.

Accustomed to living in poverty and struggling to survive, Lydia wished to find a rich husband. She was also tired of seeing everyone's mocking look at her every time they knew she was not their level.

Therefore, she will look for a rich and handsome husband so that no one will look down on her anymore.

Doctor Bennet was the best candidate out of all her blind dates. But as soon as she realized the doctor was belittling her, she put his name on her blacklist.

Even though she was not as rich as them and couldn't afford expensive clothes like Wendy's regular shop, her soul and way of thinking were not like that of a poor person.

She would never accept people who look down on her and consistently proves that even though she is poor, she has the mentality of a rich person.

That's why she was willing to drop out of college and pursue her talent as a make-up artist. Although now she has become a professional make-up artist, she is still learning to hone her skills.

Not only make-up, but now she has also mastered various hairstyles and fashions. Lydia knows all the famous clothes and branded bags that are usually worn by the upper class. But she did not memorize the prices of these items in detail.

She was worried that her guts would shrink once she found out the price. She was just figuring out the price range and understanding the difference between authentic and fake items.

As a result, she could enter the upper-class society because she has a fashion sense that socialite women most favor. Not only she did services as a make-up artist, but she was also a fashion counselor for these girls.

No wonder Lydia sometimes gave Kaylee information about meeting socialite girls and heard that someone was expecting Kaylee Zouch. Alas, Kaylee was never interested in joining that, so Lydia never forces her.

After thinking things over, Lydia opened her eyes again after successfully burying her feelings.

Her feelings for Nick were unimportant and would hinder her goals.

She only has one goal, and she won't let anyone get in her way.

Little did she know.... once Nick set his eyes on something, no one could get in his way either.
