Trinity smiled and pretended to look cool like she always did, though she did what she usually would not do by
wearing a checkered dress.
“Hey, we can talk about anything, right?” She patted his shoulder. “It’s rare to see you so troubled!”
Fredric pursed his lips and lowered his voice a moment later. “Trinity, I’m really only a good friend to you, right?”
She was stunned before nodding immediately.
“We’re… bros?”
Her smile was not exactly natural, but she agreed anyway. “Yes, of course! We’re bros!”
“Then, as a bro, I have a favor to ask…”
She looked at him and focused, worried she would miss out on a word.
“Do tell!”
“Are you preparing to shoot your new movie?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hmm, yes.”
“Can you…” He licked his lips and said in a troubled manner, “Can you give Michelle a chance to be a minor
character in your movie?”
The smile on Trinity’s face froze instantly.
She clenched her fists that were next to her body, her nails deep in her skin. She then let go slowly.
She wanted to say no, but she did not know how to reject him.
She had never rejected him.
She felt as if her organs were cracking, but she forced herself to squeeze out her usual smile.
Fredric’s voice was soft. “Trinity, it’s okay if you can’t do it. I’ll think of another solution.”
“I…”
“Don’t worry!” Fredric smiled and patted her shoulder. “I know it’s just my presumptuous request. I actually didn’t
have much hope. I understand. You’ll need to check with the investors about big productions like this, especially
which actors to cast. You can’t call the shots.”
She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck.
“I don’t want to trouble you,” he said. “I’ll think of another solution! However, no matter what, I’m grateful that
you’re willing to listen to my complaints!”
He waved after he was done and chuckled. He pointed at the cafe and went in on his own.
Trinity froze where she was and felt like crying.
Michelle was so lucky to have his love and protection. He had begged someone for her.
However, did Michelle care about him at all?
She merely treated him as a tool for her future back in the country.
Everyone could see that, but the person involved could not.
However, to Fredric, perhaps he was willing to be blinded…
Trinity forced a smile, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye. As the cold wind blew, her face where the tear

Cordelia in the cafe whispered to Zephyr, “Zen, something’s wrong with Trinity.”
“Hmm…” Zephyr coughed twice. It would be strange if everything went well.
He knew Fredric too well. He had recently heard that Fredric had been using all of his connections to pave the way
for Michelle.
He must have asked Trinity out for that woman again!
Zephyr’s face sank. He was dying to crack Fredric’s head open to see what was inside!
Cordelia suddenly screamed, “Look, Zen!”
He looked where she was looking. For some reason, there were many ambulances on the street now. They rushed
in the same direction.
Cordelia felt a squeeze in her heart. She had a bad feeling.
“Oh, no!” She frowned and said a moment later, “Mom and Aunt Baker seem to be having their afternoon tea
nearby!”
“What?” Zephyr was stunned.
Cordelia grabbed him and said in a panic. “Did something happen to my mom? Did she recall her past again?”
