"I went there with Emily, you know..."
"Emily is just a kid. What could she understand?"
"Emily understands everything."
"But to others, she may not! Anyway, from what I can tell, I think Sebastian still trusts you, but he's definitely pissed off."
"What should I do?"
Turns out Sebastian had been ignoring her because he was mad. But at least he was still on her side.
Alison rolled her eyes, "Why don't you sweet talk him a bit?"
"Will it work?"
"Why not give it a shot?"
"But he's not picking up my calls or replying to my texts."
"How about leaving a comment under his tweet?"
"Should I try?"
So Stephanie just left a tentative comment under Sebastian's tweet.
[Seb, are you back?]
Then she dropped a crying emoji.
Five minutes later, he actually replied, "I'm getting on the plane soon; I will be there tonight. Don't cry, babe."
That comforting message made Stephanie tear up again.
So she posted another comment.
[Seb, everyone's bullying me! They're all cursing me!]
Sebastian replied again, "I'll sort it out when I get back!"
In an instant, no one dared to throw shade at Stephanie anymore.
[Then hurry up and come back!!]
Then she added another crying emoji.
Sebastian was helpless. This girl was never going to stop.
But she had already been bullied and cursed at enough in public. He really couldn't bear to see her humiliated anymore.
After all, she's an actress, and she still has to stay in the entertainment circle.
He took a deep breath and replied, "Getting on the plane in five minutes."
"Can I pick you up when you arrive?"
"Stay at home; don't get yourself hurt."
"I'm being bullied, and you're making fun of me!!"
Imagining Stephanie's likely irritated face, Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle and replied, "Who asked you to stir up trouble as soon as I left?"
