The next day, Lucas went with Faith and Kylie to the port to meet with the other workers from the company. There weren't many people at the port yet, though, because they had arrived very early. Khloe, however, was one of the few people who were there. She held Aiden's hand, and they were displaying their love for each other for Laurence's viewing pleasure. They can't let her father get upset.

Laurence, who was Aiden's future father-in-law, told him to take good care of Khloe.

​​

Khloe stared at Kylie while she kissed Aiden, which made Faith sick. Faith is the one being affected by the act Khloe had made in front of the public. She wanted to slap Khloe's face! Laurence saw the anger in her eyes, though, and said, "Faith, go clean up the chairs. Make it quick,"

"Me?" Faith gasped, surprised – but then she realized that Laurence was punishing her because of Khloe.

"Go ahead," Kylie sighed. "I have wet tissues in my bag. Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill."

Faith looked at Kylie and said, "I will clean yours and Lucas's seats, but I am not touching Khloe or Aiden's."

Khloe scowled at Faith and asked her what her problem was.

"You can go clean up your chairs yourself if you think they're dirty," Faith replied. "And besides, you have an assistant. You could get her to do it!"

Seeing how proud Faith was, Khloe clenched her teeth in anger as she glared at Kylie. They have a respective assistant to cater to their needs, but hers was actually very useless. Not wanting to fight with Kylie, though, she kept her curses to herself. She hated Kylie's presence because she can't take away from her mind that Aiden might fall in love with that woman again.

It was another hour before the intercom announced that the boat was about to leave. Khloe held Aiden's arm while walking beside Laurence. They talked and laughed, and they were at ease with each other. Just as they were about to board, though, several girls passed between them and addressed Kylie. "Do you remember us?" they wondered. "We met at the mountain in Connell, and Ethan gave us his autograph!"

Kylie nodded and smiled sweetly at them, "I remember you all," She replied. "It is nice to meet you again."

The girls blushed and giggled, and one of them asked if they could take a picture with her. It's a rare opportunity to meet a beautiful celebrity like her. Kylie nodded to give her consent, took place between them, and smiled. Once the picture was taken, the girls were more excited than ever. In unison, they asked her if she could recommend some skincare products to them, pointing out that Kylie had beautiful skin! They were praising her so much that it made Khloe feel jealous. She can't bear hearing those praises for Kylie. She thinks Kylie had grabbed her spotlight. For Khloe, she's only a b-list actress who only has a pretty face.

Kylie laughed and said, "I seldom use skincare products, actually. My suggestion would be to eat more fruit and drink plenty of water. Good sleep, too, can help your skin remain glowing. That is what I do."

As they talked, the girls nodded delightfully, but one of them kept glancing behind them as if she was frightened. Kylie knew who she was looking at, but didn't want to mention it herself.

It seemed that they had more to say, but, after a few minutes, Faith interrupted and explained that Kylie had to go.

"Then we won't bother you any longer," the girls smiled. "We love you!"

Kylie waved good-bye to them and said, "Thank you so much!"

Khloe, who was already unhappy, was now about to lose her temper. She couldn't believe that she hadn't been recognized. "Dad," Khloe whined, did you see what just happened?"

Laurence frowned. "I am not sure what you want me to say," he said. "You can't expect everyone to love you. You need to grow some thicker skin if you want to have a lifelong career in this industry. From the perspective of a professional worker in the entertainment industry, your career is still much more promising than Kylie's but, unless you grow up and start acting like an adult, you will never see your full potential actualized."

Khloe: "…"

"I do not say these things to hurt you," Laurence continued, "but to help you. If you want to be a star, it will take a lot of hard work. People will say negative things about you and ignore you, but you will have to learn to ignore them. Here, let me give you a hug, and then we can board."

As they boarded, Khloe and her crew were led to the first-class seats while Kylie and her crew were led to the economy seats. Before they could go to their seats, though, Faith got in Khloe's face and demanded, "Why are we in the economy class?"

"Because the first class is full!" Khloe explained.

Aiden stepped up and said, "I can exchange seats with Kylie. After all, she's a celebrity anyway. She shouldn't have to sit in the economy class."

"Don't worry," Khloe replied coldly, "She's with her assistant and agent. They will take good care of her."

"Alright," Aiden agreed. He allowed Khloe to lead him up to first class, but he kept looking back at Kylie. He couldn't get it out of his head that something wasn't quite right. Laurence followed after them and, once they'd taken their seats, he looked at his daughter and said, "This doesn't make sense. All of the seats I purchased were in economy class!"

"You must not have," Khloe replied, "otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here."

Laurence didn't reply, but he knew that Khloe must have upgraded the tickets and intentionally not upgraded Kylie's like an insult to her. Of course, he too wanted to see Kylie brought down a notch, but this was meaner than anything he would've planned, and it made him sick to the stomach.
