\u201cYou know this already,\u201d Herman said. \u201cThere are tons of women who like Draven. Plenty of them are even more obsessed with him than you. If working hard could win him over, do you really think it would be your turn to try?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody still looked stubborn and unwilling to give up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more he tried to talk sense into her, the more she refused to listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman\u2019s voice cooled, turning sharp. \u201cLet it go. If anyone can win Draven\u2019s heart, it\u2019s never because they worked harder. It\u2019s only because Draven liked them from the start. He holds all the power. If you don\u2019t accept that, no matter what you do, you\u2019ll never get what you want. You\u2019ll only end up hurt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, everything came down to whether Draven liked someone or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other people\u2019s effort meant almost nothing to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Herman was sure now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven liked Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way he and James teased him wasn\u2019t random.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven\u2019s favoritism toward Ayla was too obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had no frame of reference, so she didn\u2019t realize how special his behavior was. But those who grew up with Draven knew exactly what those differences meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was why they joked about it the first time they met her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If they joked around like that with every random woman, Draven would\u2019ve cut them off long ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even now, Draven had never truly gotten mad at them for teasing The few times he warned them to stop were only because he thought it might bother Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing this, Herman paused. It felt like discovering a hidden detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven had slipped up. Herman couldn\u2019t help being curious about how things between those two would develop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Would they end up together?\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Melody finally calmed down, Herman softened his tone. \u201cYou\u2019re not clueless. You understand what I\u2019m saying. There are some people you\u2019re just not meant to have. Face it. You\u2019ve known Draven for so many years. If he liked you, he would\u2019ve liked you already. It wouldn\u2019t drag on until now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody\u2019s heart was in such pain that she felt like she could barely breathe. She sounded like someone who knew she should accept reality, yet still couldn\u2019t. \u201cI just can\u2019t accept it! Why doesn\u2019t Draven like me?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman gave a small, helpless smile. \u201cDon\u2019t fall into this kind of obsession. Falling for someone never has\u00a0<\/p>\n

a reason. Not liking someone doesn\u2019t have a reason either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Melody wasn\u2019t stupid. She understood everything Herman said. She also understood he wasn\u2019t refusing to help. Her brother was protecting her from being hurt even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But unrequited love was happening to her. Herman could never understand that pain from the outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accepting and letting go sounded simple. But doing it? Impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody stopped talking about giving up on Draven. Instead, she asked, \u201cHerman, you still haven\u2019t told me. Who is that woman?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could accept not being with Draven-barely. But only under one condition, if she couldn\u2019t have him, then no one else could either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was her only comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It would mean that Draven doesn\u2019t love anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then Melody could accept it. If she couldn\u2019t have him, at least no other woman could either. She might even hold on to a tiny bit of hope, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Draven truly liked another woman, Melody would not just be upset; she would lose her mind with jealousy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman glanced toward the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody had been obsessed with Draven for ten years. There was no way she could give up that easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was why Herman would never mention how different Ayla was in Draven\u2019s eyes. If Melody found out, she would go after Ayla out of pure jealousy. And even if he warned her, he couldn\u2019t control Melody every minute of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven would also be upset. But because Melody was his sister, he would hesitate. That hesitation would put him in a terrible position.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Herman didn\u2019t want his buddy to get stuck in that kind of conflict or let Ayla get hurt for no reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Herman kept his voice calm. \u201cShe\u2019s just a secretary. Someone unimportant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody frowned. \u201cIf she\u2019s not important, then why does she get to ride in Draven\u2019s car?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBlake is training her,\u201d Herman said. \u201cShe goes with Draven often because of work. And Draven is a gentleman. If he offers to drive a lady, what\u2019s wrong with that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody\u2019s fingers tightened. She accepted his explanation on the surface, but her instincts screamed that something wasn\u2019t right. If Herman wouldn\u2019t tell her anything, she would look into it herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing she had gone quiet, Herman changed the subject. \u201cSo what are you doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t care about me at all,\u201d Melody complained. \u201cI\u2019m here in Trensea to host my art exhibition!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Herman gave a small laugh. \u201cThen I\u2019ll be there to support you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody continued, \u201cI also want to visit Mr. Lonedrum.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHenry Lonedrum?\u201d Herman asked, surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melody nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry was a legend, one of the giants of the art world. Herman had met him once at the House of Myur charity gala. Henry was old, but he was steady, sharp, and full of character. And he was famously stubborn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman raised a brow. \u201cYou\u2019re sure you can even meet him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
