Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



Polly suddenly froze. She took a sip of water, her gaze flickering. "I was just looking at Froze's fan hub, and I accidentally clicked on Nolan's Facebook."

"Oh, I see."

Violeta smiled slyly. "Stop pretending, Polly. You like Nolan, don't you?"

She directly exposed Polly's feelings.

Polly was so startled that she nearly crushed the disposable cup in her hand. She exclaimed, "Violeta, what are you talking about?"

Violeta dragged a chair over and sat in front of Polly.

"Polly, admit it. You like Nolan."

Polly stammered, "How could I? You're talking nonsense."

Violeta pressed on, "Is liking someone so shameful? Are you so afraid to admit it?"

Polly hesitated, "I ... I... "

Violeta was almost certain of her feelings, judging by Polly's reaction.

In her past life, Violeta liked Nolan. But she was always confused between admiration and romantic feelings.

Perhaps she liked Nolan, but she admired his career success more.

Violeta envied and looked up to him, but she knew there was an insurmountable barrier between them, realising they could never be together.

In her past life, Nolan and Polly collaborated on the movie 'Froze'. They did live broadcasts for the show's promotion. Violeta, a fan, watched the entire process.

Polly often unconsciously glanced at Nolan during promotions.

That look was something Violeta knew very well.

In her past life, Violeta noticed Polly's feelings for Nolan.

Later, Violeta learned more about Polly.

Polly was cultured and considerate. She was kind-hearted and knowledgeable, and she loved pets.

Violeta believed Polly was a perfect match for Nolan.

They were compatible in every way.

In her past life, Violeta even shipped them as a couple.

Unfortunately, because of Polly's laid-back approach to her career and Zelena's strong debut, Nolan and Polly only worked on 'Froze' together.

After that, they had no further interactions. Violeta, who had shipped them, never got to see them together again.

In Violeta's heart, Polly was a better match for Nolan than Zelena.

These past days on set, Polly was exactly as Violeta had remembered: a talented actress with a gentle and graceful personality.

But Violeta wasn't sure if Polly still had feelings for Nolan.

This may have just been a fleeting feeling due to their collaboration.

Violeta needed time to figure this out.

Up until today, when she caught Polly secretly browsing Nolan's Facebook, she was able to confirm that Polly still liked him. Her ship wasn't wasted!

This brought Violeta genuine joy and gave her hope.

As a result, she directly confronted Polly about it.

Polly looked embarrassed. She said, "Stop teasing me. If this gets out, it wouldn't be beneficial for Nolan."

Violeta reassured her, "I know you're shy, but it's okay. Just tell me if you like him. I can help you win him over!"

Polly was taken aback. "What!?"

She didn't quite understand what Violeta meant, but seeing her confident expression, she felt tempted. She did like Nolan.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, one cannot force love. It comes down to fate.

Taking a deep breath, Polly said, "Violeta, I don't know how you figured it out, but yes, I do like him, But I don't think he likes me. So, it's more of a secret crush. Please don't spread this around; it would be uncomfortable for both of us.

Violeta urged, "If you like him, why not make a move? What are you waiting for?"

Polly replied, "Love should be about

fate. After 'Froze', we haven't had any contact. Maybe it's just not meant to be. You can't force these things."

Violeta countered, "Who do you think can't force it?"

Didn't Zelena force her way in?

Zelena wasn't right for Nolan. Violeta believed Polly was the one who truly matched Nolan.

Their interests aligned, one gentle and the other refined a perfect pair.
