Frederick replied to Ethel, "After all, I'm Freya's closest confidant."

He then replied to Trent with a curt, "Not yet."

One of his other friends chimed in eagerly, "Living the high life now, aren't you? Did you snag her autograph while you were at it?"

"This is infuriating! I begged Freya to take me before, but she flat-out refused!" another commented.

"All this excitement over a car race? I've shared a bed with her, and you don't hear me boasting about it."

Frederick shot back, "You three love-struck fools have no right to speak!" The three friends chorused with glee, "Poor lonely heart, stew in your envy!" Frederick's irritation mounted steadily.

From his position in the passenger seat, his exasperation was plainly visible. "Freya, they're mocking me as a 'lonely heart'!" Frederick protested.

Melinda began, "Hello, Freya."

"Melinda."

"Could you come to Jeucwell?" Melinda asked, her tone carrying layers of emotion she rarely revealed, aware of Freya's previous visit. "Lionel collapsed from fury after discovering the terrible actions Kristian took against you. He's currently under medical care."

Freya clutched her phone with heightened tension.
