Fredric lifted his eyes and looked at Michelle quietly.
He was still smiling, but Michelle subconsciously felt something had changed.
It must be an illusion… That was right! Fredric would always love her!
She revealed a flirtatious smile and leaned on him softly. Suddenly, a force held onto her shoulder. She looked and saw his hand grabbing her shoulder. He pushed her away quietly.
“Fredric…”
“We should do something about us.” He paused and smiled. “Michelle, I’m happy to see you famous today.”
“You’re the one who gave me all this!”
“It was Yale who gave you this,” Fredric said flatly. “You should stay with Yale. He’ll give you more.”
“Fredric!?” Michelle felt a squeeze in her heart.
What did he mean?
She forced a smile. “Fredric, if you don’t work for Mr. Hamerton, he won’t give me so many things!”
“Hmm, don’t worry. I’ll keep working for him.” He smiled. There was a confusing coldness on his face. “About us, I haven’t thought it through. We’ll talk about it after my task with Mr. Hamerton.”
“Oh…”
Michelle nodded.
She could not really understand what Fredric meant. He seemed to be… different.
However, Fredric sounded like he was going to work with Yale. Why would he do that? He must be doing it for her!
Michelle calmed down as she thought about it.
“Then do your best, Fredric.” She peeped at him shyly. “I’ll wait for your response!”
Michelle contacted her agent after that. She had a photoshoot today, and the set was at Yale’s private club.
She was getting a lot of attention since she had been frequenting the Hamertons. The celebrities were jealous.
“Don’t doubt the people you’re working with, don’t work with people that you doubt.” Fredric stood up, looking serious. “Since you don’t trust me, then there’s no need for me to stay.”
“Hey!” Yale quickly held onto him.
It took him quite an effort to get Zephyr’s man. How could he let him go before he really used him?
“How would I not trust you, Mr. Constable? I’m just cautious!” Yale smiled and placed the DNA report on the table. He called William and had a short chat.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Fredric and said while squinting, “So, what do we do next?”
Fredric looked carefree. “It’s easy for me to go to Royal Manor. Zephyr trusts me, so I have the password to his door. My fingerprint can unlock the door.”
“What!?” Yale was astonished.
“Zephyr and Cordelia won’t be home in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Aunt Helen visits Uncle Clark at the old house every week, so she won’t be around either,” Fredric said clearly. “The box that contains the set of medicinal formulas is in the cabinet in the living room.”
“So…”
“I’ll get Robert to dismiss all of the bodyguards and wait there.”
