There he could see the figure of Vincent, who was seriously cleaning the cameras on their table.
It was only when Felicia returned to the social media home page, Frank realized something. One of the visitors posted a photo of Vincent on one of their social media. Who would have thought that Vincent's photos got hundreds of thousands of likes with the hashtag: Charming cold prince in the gallery.
"Ah..." Frank opened his mouth in an A sign he understood. "That's why there are so many new faces here."
"Not only that. Take a look at this!"
Frank saw Vincent greeted one of the senior visitors with a smile. Below the photo is the inscription: A smile that enlightens the heart.
Frank glanced at Vincent and sighed. His friend was not even at all interested in his photo, which has spread on social media.
"Is he going through puberty again?" Felicia asked, making Frank's eyes widen.
Usually, if Felicia said something that provoked an argument, Vincent would respond right away. Suddenly Frank was afraid that Vincent would retort on the woman, and they would throw a tantrum in his gallery.
However, what made him even more surprised was that there was no reaction at all. No words or sound came out of his best friend's lips.
"Argh. I can't take it anymore!" yelled Felicia causing Frank's heart to jump in astonishment.
Felicia entered through the wooden door and grabbed Vincent's arm... forcing the man to move from his seat and out of the gallery.
Vincent, who was lazy to argue, let himself be pulled out and walked where the woman led him.
Just as Vincent came out of the gallery, another girl got off the bus and headed for the gallery.
It seemed the fate was sleep soundly and not notice that the two lovebirds would meet again.
"Cathy! Long time no see." Frank greeted the girl as soon as he saw Cathy through the glass entrance.
Cathy smiled as a response to the kind, friendly man. She did not visit her for a few days on purpose. Apart from feeling guilty toward Frank and V, she didn't want to meet Vincent.
Before moving closer to the table Frank was at, Cathy's gaze swirled to make sure she wouldn't run into the man.
Only after she was sure that the man was not there could she breathe a sigh of relief and walk over to Frank.
"Hello, Frank. How are you? It seems that today's visitors have a lot of new faces?"
"You noticed that too? Unfortunately, they weren't here to see V's work."
"Then?"
Frank glanced sideways at the empty chair that had been occupied by Vincent minutes ago.
"Ah, I just remembered. Don't you want to meet V? I think you can ..."
"Frank," Cathy interrupted before she heard Frank's full sentences. "I'm sorry I hid something from you."
Although confused by her confession, Frank remained silent and listened patiently to her confession.
Frank was somewhat surprised to find Cathy approaching him just to get information about V and find a way to meet V through him.
Although Frank couldn't help but hide his surprise, he was neither angry nor resentful of his new friend.
"Aren't you angry?"
"No, I'm not."
"Why? You should be angry that I used you."
"Hmm... I don't feel used at all. Besides, I'm sure you are coming here and accompanying my boredom alone is the sincerity of your heart. Am I wrong? Or you don't like to be friends with me?"
"No. That's not true." Cathy answered it while shaking her head. "I like being with you. You're a lovely friend."
"Then there's no problem, right?"
Both of them threw friendly smiles at each other, and Cathy's joy knew no bound. She exhaled a relief sigh knowing the man didn't mad at her. After all, she enjoyed being friends with him. They had only known each other a few weeks ago, but they felt like they were friends for a long time.
However, Cathy wanted to try her last effort.
"I know I've been selfish, but this is for the last time. Can you convey my message to V?"
"Message?"
"After this, I won't come back to bother you. I won't insist on seeing V."
"It doesn't matter as long as you promise me too."
"What?"
"Don't use the excuse that you don't need me anymore, or I'll be angry. I hope you still come here as a friend."
Cathy laughed crisply at that. "Of course. I'll come again. Next time I'll bring my sisters. This time we'll come as visitors."
Frank smiled with satisfaction at that. "All right. Now, tell me, what's your message?"
***
Felicia looked in disbelief at her best friend, who was sitting opposite her. Felicia had already ordered the man's favorite dish, but... let alone glancing, the man even not touching his plate!
What's wrong with him?
"Hey, don't tell me you're broken-hearted?"
For the first time, Vincent reacted in response to her guess.
"Why do you think like that?"
"If not, why are you acting like this? Are you sick?" Felicia put her right hand on Vincent's forehead, while her left hand against hers. "You don't seem to have a fever either."
Vincent gently pulled Felicia's hand from her forehead with a sigh.
"First, I'm not sick. Second, I'm fine. Really. Trust me."
Felicia could not believe Vincent's words that used a convincing tone.
"By the way, why did you never tell me that you worked at V collection? No. Why did you never tell me that you were V?"
Vincent just smiled in response to his question and took a deep breath before finally grabbing chopsticks and grabbing wet dumplings before finally devouring them in one mouthful.
"Wait a minute." Felicia suddenly realized something. "Could it be, apart from Frank... no one knows that you are V? Even your mother and sister Vanvan don't know?"
Vincent just nodded his head without stopping chewing and took the second dumpling.
Felicia chuckled several times to see her friend's behavior, who cares about nothing but his favorite dim sum.
Not long after, Vincent's cellphone rings, indicating someone was calling him.
For a moment, Vincent stopped enjoying his meal and swallowed his mouth. After sipping his drink, he took his cellphone from his pants pocket.
When he saw the name above his screen, one eyebrow rose.
"Who is it?" asked Felicia curiously.
Vincent turned his cell phone over so his friend could see the name on the screen.
"Why did Benben call you? He hasn't even called me all day."
"You're not his favorite cousin."
Felicia rolled her eyes at this. "I don't want to be his cousin!" Even though she was a little annoyed, she felt a little relieved. At least her best friend has returned to normal.
"Hello?... I was eating with ti..." Vincent stopped in the mid facing the frowning of the tigress. "Felis." That was close. He almost mentioned 'tigress' to Benjamin.
"My help?... okay. I'll be at your place in a moment."
After finishing his meal, Vincent rose to his feet to pay for the meal and immediately headed for Star Risen.
"Wait! I'm coming with you."
"Fine. But you can't tell anyone that I'm V."
"If I accidentally tell one of them, what do I do?" Felicia put on an innocent face while blinking her eyes, trying to put on a cute expression.
"I'll call you the tigress in front of Benji."
"HEY!!"
Vincent dashed away to avoid his best friend's tantrum while laughing out loud.
