Daisie smiled and said, “That won‘t happen. I believe you.”
At Yaramoor, at the Victoria Business College...
Colton stood in the corridor and crossed his arms while playing with his malachite compass necklace.
“Cole.” The spiky–haired friend walked over and rested his arms on his shoulder.
“Aren‘t we going to eat together?” Right after saying that, he saw the necklace in Colton‘s hand and
exclaimed, “Wow! Accessory from CD. Is that for a girl?” Colton put the necklace away and said with no
change in expression, “For my sister.” The friend smiled.
“Sure. By the way, what happened to your pretty groupie?” Colton frowned.
“Why do you want to know?”
“Why are you nervous? I was just asking. Doesn‘t she usually follow you around? I haven‘t seen her
recently. Wasn‘t she chasing you?”
That made Colton feel awkward.
His friends didn‘t know about his ‘bet‘ with Freyja, and when Freyja met him previously, it was mostly
because he requested it. It wasn‘t about chasing. The friend was shocked, “Why would she buy things
for you if she wasn‘t chasing you? You got free food and drinks and a free runner?”
He had a wager with his other friends that Freyja was chasing Colton, and they were betting on how long
it would take her to succeed.
Colton didn‘t speak but turned and left.
The spiky–haired friend followed along. “Hey, aren‘t we going for food?”
That evening...
Freyja got a text from Daisie while she was leaving the college.
Daisie: [Have you had dinner? I‘m getting ready to sleep already.]
That came with a crying emoji. It looked like her.
Freyja smiled and replied: [Rest early.]
Someone suddenly approached her when she turned around, making her forehead bump into that
person‘s lips.
Before Freyja could react, Colton rubbed his lips that were hit by her head. It hurt so much that his skin
almost broke. “Watch where you‘re going.”
“You should take your advice.” Freyja frowned while rubbing her forehead. He wasn‘t the only one
hurting. Her head wasn‘t made of steel, after all. Colton laughed. “Did you do that on purpose?”
She looked up and asked, “What?”
Colton crossed his arms and raised his brows. “You bumped into me when you saw me. Playing hard to
get?”
Freyja chuckled. “Do you think that you‘re funny, Colton? Might as well say that I‘m seducing you.”
If she was playing hard to get, then he might as well say she was seducing him.
Colton stopped smiling as an image flashed across his mind, and he looked away. “With your... figure?”
He wanted to say that she was gifted but not in brains. Freyja paused and remembered what had
happened on the island.
The air immediately froze.
Her expression was awkward, and she couldn‘t stay there any longer. “I‘m going to leave.”.
She walked to the road and hailed a cab.
Colton stood on the spot until the cab drove away, his
mind in a mess. He took out the necklace, thinking he must have gone crazy when he bought it.
Back at Bassburgh, at Tenet Media...
In the manager‘s office, Charlie placed the script in front of Daisie, poured a cup of coffee, and sat across
from her.
“There‘s a spot for a supporting actress in Benny Crawford‘s new movie. The audition is one month
later.” Daisie picked up the script, and it was an action period piece. There were two scripts, one for the
storyline , and the other for the supporting actress.
