Outside the Starlight, Lucia got out of the car. When she saw the crowd at the entrance of the venue, she felt a
little scared from the bottom of her heart.
The red carpet was laid from the entrance to the street and there were quite a few media reporters at the entrance. That was a much bigger scene than she had imagined.
