“Cecelia? I just returned from my honeymoon, so I haven’t had time to contact her! She isn’t filming anything right now, though. I guess she’s currently on vacation.”

Many things happened after she returned from her honeymoon. It had been a while since she had seen her best friend.

“Oh.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking for her?” Did something happen between them? I’m not in a position to ask about it, though.

“It’s nothing.” Sean felt a little annoyed. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling at all.

He had never felt like that before, but it seemed that Cecelia had been avoiding him after sleeping with him.

“I’ll call and ask where she is once I return.” Sophie knew about Cecelia’s feelings for Sean, but Sean had always pined for his first crush. Moreover, the effect his first crush had on him was especially significant. Men like him are better left on their own.

“All right.”

After dinner, everyone went to Nocturnal to wind down, but Charles felt the place was boring once he got there, as everyone was in pair except for him.

Ultimately, he sat beside Sean so that they could be each other’s companions.

“Sean…”

Charles realized Sean wasn’t in the mood to chat after sitting there for a while.

“Did something happen at your law firm, Sean? You seem to be so preoccupied lately.”

Sean ignored him, for his mind was filled with the crushing look on Cecelia’s face. In the end, I still hurt that proud woman.

“What’s wrong with you, Sean? Did you get into some trouble lately? You can tell us. You keeping quiet like this is honestly quite scary.”

“Can you shut up? You’re so noisy.”

Charles finally shut his mouth.
