Chris's mood improved as soon as he heard about Merry. He laughed at Jean's warning.
"Oh? Are you worried that I will create a scandal with Merry..."
"You don't have the courage to do that." Jean coldly cut him before hanging up the phone.
Chris stared at his cell phone with a hurtful look. He knew Jean was right, but his best friend didn't have to drop the truth bomb on him like that!

A day later, at Los Angeles International Airport.
It was noon when Chris got off his plane. Unlike Indonesia, LA was currently experiencing autumn and the cool air felt good against the skin. Chris took off the light coat he was wearing as he left the airport.
In the taxi, Chris checked his watch. At this time, Merry was supposed to still be in class, so Chris decided to rest in his apartment first. The man had rented an apartment located across from Merry's campus, right next to Merry's apartment.
