Trissa was shocked when she saw CM glowering at her with a hand remaining on her shoulder. The hand on her shoulder didn't stay long because the owner of the hand suddenly retracted her hand. However, the icy gaze remained on her, more or less making her body shiver.
"You are Michy's cousin, right? My name is Trissa, and I'm Michy's girlfriend. It's nice to meet you," Trissa dared herself to greet the female idol despite feeling uncomfortable with the idol's presence.
CM was still glaring at her, and she didn't even know the reason. It was actually not the first time she saw the short-haired idol in person. Back then at Michy's adoptive parents' funeral, she also saw the short-haired idol in person.
However, it was the first time they had a direct interaction. Trissa acted politely towards the female idol, but the idol remained indifferent even after she greeted her politely.
Trissa couldn't help but think that something was not right with the other girl.
"I'm indeed Michy's cousin, but it's not nice to meet you," CM suddenly replied coldly.
The super-cold reply felt like proof that the female idol didn't like her, and Trissa gulped nervously as she tried to avoid the icy gaze belonging to CM. She was still sitting on the chair, while the idol CM standing beside her.
She didn't even turn around, and she could only timidly glance at the other girl. The distance was quite close, and it felt like the air around her grew ticker because the female idol treated her ruthlessly.
Getting no response from the long-haired girl, CM smirked before walking a few steps so that she was standing in front of the girl now. "Do you really like Michy?" She questioned the girl.
CM openly showed her dislike towards the girl, but she still attacked the girl with another question. Now Trissa forced herself to look up albeit feeling intimidated by the short-haired girl. "I do," she then answered softly.
Nothing changed with CM's expression, and she didn't look surprised by the girl's answer. "You like him, but he doesn't like you. You know about that, don't you?" She questioned the girl again.
Trissa had her hands on her peach dress, and the hands clenched her dress tightly. The movement didn't go unnoticed by CM, but the latter pretended as if she didn't see it as she kept acting like a heartless girl in front of his cousin's girlfriend.
"Michy told me that he would try to love me," Trissa answered in a low voice, even lower than her answer before.
From the tone only, CM knew that the girl was not confident with her answer. That made her smirk as she replied again, "Michy said that he would try to love you, but what if he can't love you until the end? Will you pretend that you don't notice it because of your selfishness?"
Trissa was stunned and she bit her lips anxiously. Michy indeed said that he would try to love her, but what if CM was right? What if Michy couldn't like her until the end?
Trissa had never seen that possibility before, and she had the confidence that she would be able to win Michy's heart. But, that was only her confidence, right? Then, what about Michy?
Meanwhile, CM smirked in victory when the other girl couldn't answer her question. She knew that the girl wouldn't be able to win the battle against her.
"Let me tell you something, Miss Fletcher," the female idol spoke again, causing the long-haired girl to peep at her. "I silently observed your interaction with Michy earlier, and I admit that Michy treated you tenderly and didn't act coldly towards you at all. But, I also have to tell you that I didn't see any love in his eyes when he looked at you. Did you notice that too?"
Trissa received another blow from the short-haired idol, and the grip on her dress tightened upon getting the blow. She couldn't refute CM's statement because she knew that CM was saying the truth. Michy indeed treated her well, but she also couldn't feel Michy's love toward her.
Michy indeed didn't have any feelings towards her, but Trissa steeled her heart as she responded to CM's question, "I believe in Michy. He said that he would try to love me, and I will believe in him. It's our private affair, and I don't think you have the right to interfere even if you are Michy's cousin."
Trissa suddenly got the courage to counter CM's attack, but instead of feeling defeated by the counter, CM got even bolder to the girl as she replied, "You said that you believe in Michy, but what if Michy doesn't even believe in himself?"
CM had been so blunt with her words before, but this time, she said something vague to the long-haired girl. Trissa didn't immediately understand, so she asked the female idol to elaborate her mearing.
CM smirked again before bringing her body to sit on the chair where Michy sat earlier. Michy left the dressing room to answer Willem's call, and he hadn't returned yet. That was why CM could freely take over her cousin's chair to talk with the girl.
"You know that Michy got a call from my father earlier, right? Did you see his phone?" The short-haired girl questioned Trissa again, and the latter displayed a clueless expression on her face.
Trissa tried to recall the memory of Michy's phone earlier, but she didn't find anything weird with the blue-eyed idol's phone. She only saw the phone strap that the idol bought on their first date.
"I saw his phone, but nothing was wrong with it. I only saw he attached a phone strap on his phone, and he bought the phone strap on our first date," Trissa answered the question with the hint of rosy color on her fair cheeks.
Michy was using the phone strap that he bought when they were on their first date, and Trissa thought that Michy wanted to treasure the moment with her by using the phone strap. She felt touched by the idol's sweet action, and that was why she was blushing now.
On the other hand, CM raised her brows upon hearing the girl's answer. "Oh? So Michy bought the phone strap on his first date with you? That's so interesting!" She suddenly exclaimed as her eyes sparkled.
The exclaim confused Trissa, and she frowned at the other girl. She thought that she should be the one who looked enthusiastic at the mention of 'first date,' but it seemed CM was more excited than she was.
Trissa was puzzled, but CM suddenly turned to her again and even leaned forward to her. "Did Michy buy two phone straps when he was on his first date with you?" She questioned the long-haired girl again.
"Mhm," Trissa answered while nodding her head excitedly. "Michy bought two phone straps with primrose ornaments on them, and he also bought me this red rose hair clip. He's so sweet, isn't he?" She continued while pointing the red rose hair clip on her hair.
CM shifted her gaze to the hair clip, but then she burst out laughing. "Damn! That's so ugly!" She said without the slightest doubt.
The insult from CM was enough to erase Trissa's smile, and she even felt her body shrink. She wouldn't lie. The hair clip from Michy was indeed ugly, and it was also cheap. However, she knew that she shouldn't feel down just because the hair clip was ugly and cheap.
"It may be ugly, but it's the first gift from Michy. He chose to give me a hair clip with the red rose ornament on it, and you know what's the meaning of red rose, right? Red rose is a symbol for love."
Trissa looked confident once again because she had faith in her head, but CM ended up laughing at her again. "So stupid!" She commented. "There are so many flowers in the world, but Michy doesn't like red roses at all. He said that red rose is too common, and he also said that red rose doesn't have any meaning for him."
Trissa's jaw tightened when she heard CM's statement. "You lied!" She responded angrily.
It felt like her beautiful dream was ruined by a sudden nightmare, and Trissa glared at the female idol as if she wanted to kill the idol with her gaze.
"I didn't lie," CM replied calmly. "You're Michy's girlfriend, but you don't even know that primrose is Michy's favorite flower?"
Once again, CM's careless question successfully silenced the long-haired girl. The girl was speechless for a moment, but then she managed to find her voice again as she asked, "What? Primrose is Michy's favorite flower?"
"Yeah," CM answered nonchalantly again. She once again leaned closer to Trissa's face as she whispered, "And you said that Michy bought two phone straps with primrose ornament, right? Do you know that Michy gave the other phone strap to someone?"
