“Thank you.”
“We’re good bros, right? No worries!” Frederic chuckled and lowered his head to look at her. “Uh… you’re not angry
anymore now?”
“Huh?”
“I know that you’re a rational and mature girl. You’re friendly and genuine too. So… Michelle must have been in the
wrong to have angered you like that. I’ll apologize on her behalf. Stop being mad, okay?”
Trinity froze. The haze that had just dissipated came back in full force again.
All in all, he had gifted her the charm because of Michelle.
She was sensible to him, so the sensible one should be forgiving and understanding, benevolent and merciful, not
be calculative even when wronged—because only children who threw tantrums would be given candies!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrinity could not get herself to act like Michelle. She despised that too.
That was why she could never compare to Michelle in Frederic’s eyes.
There was a bitter smile on Trinity’s face. When she looked down, the charm did not look so radiant anymore.
…
Later, the men gathered in the bar.
Zephyr had not wanted to go, but Josiah had said that he did not have to pay for it, so he went.
Josiah kept chuckling when he saw him.
“Z, I remember sis-in-law spending all her money on you back in Jangasas! Why are you… so pathetic now?”
Zephyr threw him a sharp look and enjoyed the Chiraz on his own.
“Yeap!” Nicholas laughed while playing. “Josiah, have you seen a rich heir with only 70 dollars on him?”
“As if you’re any better, Nicholas!” blurted Josiah. “How long has it been since you last smoked?”
“Damn you!”
Nicholas abandoned his game to beat the man up.
Zephyr pretended to cut them off but took the opportunity to hit Josiah as well. The room was instantly filled with
the latter’s cries.
The three of them messed around, giggling, leaving Frederic on the side, who was drinking quietly as if there was a
transparent wall between them that put them in two different worlds.
“Hey, Frederic!” Josiah went over to pat him on the shoulder. “We’re out drinking. Why are you still so down?”
Frederic’s brows were furrowed together as he stayed silent.
Zephyr thought of what Cordelia had told him about what happened on set today and understood it swiftly. The
stubborn man was acting like this because of Michelle again.
“Are you unhappy because she suffered a grievance?” Zephyr asked frankly.

Josiah looked around, asking with a pair of clueless eyes, “Who’s she?”
Nicholas quickly dragged him away to hang out outside.
Zephyr took a seat next to Frederic. There was a moment of silence before he asked him with a frown, “Frederic,
do you think what she experienced on set is a grievance?
“I heard that the award-winning actress was hit with a whip by the actress she was acting with back when she had
just made her debut. And her parts were all cut in the end.
“Do you think that’s fair?”
Frederic looked up at him. He opened his mouth but did not say a thing.
“You’re a lawyer. You should know best that there’s no absolute fairness in this world! Michelle’s a rookie. It’s
normal for her to suffer a little. You don’t have to feel bad for her.”
“But—”
“But the director of the film is Trinity.” Zephyr’s gaze was cryptic. “So, you think she should give in to Michelle
because of you?”
