บท 174: Indifference

Selma Payne's POV:

The silent treatment continued until we got on the plane.

Aldrich was still gentlemanly as he helped me carry my luggage and blocked the door, but he refused to say a word to me. He didn't even look at me.

I kept praying that someone would give me a way out of this deadlock, but Dorothy, who had a high EQ, stayed in the Rocky Mountains. Master Hayley was also someone who was even more inarticulate than I was. The three of us remained in the sealed cabin without saying a word. It was so awkward that I wanted to open the door and jump out.

I thought I should say something to Aldrich like, 'I was wrong. Let's make up'. But Master Hayley was still around. I was a person who felt embarrassed for the male and female leads when they confessed and kissed in idol dramas. I was ashamed to reveal my feelings in front of others.

It was silent until the plane landed on the tarmac of the palace. We didn't say a word.
