"Do you harbor feelings for Freya?" Kristian inquired abruptly, his voice cutting through the air like winter frost. Confusion rippled across their faces.

Before anyone could formulate a response, Kristian added, "You'd better abandon such notions. She gravitates exclusively toward the good-looking ones."

Having delivered his admonition, Kristian departed without sparing a thought for their reactions.

"Damn! I've consistently captivated women with my innate charm."

"Perhaps they're enamored with your financial assets rather than your facial features?"

"Or possibly your honeyed words."
