CHAPTER 12: Who’s Gabriel?

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.

“So... Who’s Gabriel?” he asked, looking at me while patting a bag of ice on my cheek.

“Do we really need to talk about this right now?”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to answer my question. I’m just... Curious.”

“Why are you so curious about it, anyway?”

“Hmm... Just look at what happened, Claire. If only I knew about this earlier, we could have avoided that scenario at the office.”

“It’s your fault. You didn’t tell me that you’re engaged to Kate. You should have told me that at the first place.”

“Okay... I’m sorry. I just didn’t know that you two have already met before.”

“She’s my high school best friend...”

“So what’s the story between you two? I’m badly curious about it. Don’t you think I deserves to know the truth after what happened?”

I looked at him. He was staring intently into my eyes before he averted his gazed towards the other direction.
