Gabe was sipping on wine happily because Mia wasn’t around. “It’s been more than ten minutes since they went for a ride. They are not going to recklessly drive and crash into something, right?” He was beginning to get a bit worried because it was a sports car, a Lamborghini Huracan, with a ravishing V-10 engine.“You’re Gabe, aren’t you?” a feminine voice reached Gabe’s ears.He looked to his right, and a curly brunette had this look of intrigue in her eyes. “Y-You’re… Roxy?” his back straightened. It had been so long since he saw her, so it took him a couple of seconds to recognize her. His eyes naturally looked at her from top to bottom because she was wearing somewhat revealing clothes. And her cleavage was giving him a good old thrill. “You… look, um… phenomenal.”“I know,” Roxy pretty much expected Gabe to drool all over her like this. She could smell a virgin from him, and she did her best to not roll her eyes already. “How are you doing these days?”“Uh, I’m a delivery driver,”

“What happened?” Roxy found herself on the ground, looking worse than someone that slipped on a banana peel. “Why am I on the ground? How did I…”It took her a few seconds to realize what could have happened, and the sharp pain in her cheek only confirmed her thoughts that she really got slapped by Gabe.It was no ordinary slap. It was a slap that she couldn’t see coming. It was a slap that erased all her ego and almost made her shed tears like a child. It gave her something that was beyond humiliation. It was an eye-opening slap that tore through the facade of her sexiness and revealed her nakedness to everyone.Sevyn helped Roxy get back to her feet.With her cheek covered by her hand, Roxy looked at Gabe like a victim would.“Gabe!” Venkat quickly rushed over in a bit of a rage. “How could you slap your friend like that?” He used to have a crush on Roxy as well, so he felt really inclined to support her during this time. “How could you hit a woman?”“She asked for it,” Gabe shrugge

Gabe parked his Lamborghini in an alley not far from his house. When he was coming out, he couldn’t help but notice the scratch line and was shocked for a second.“What the hell?” He put his hands on top of his head. He was sure it wasn’t there before. “Did I go past something sharp? Give me a break, man. Why is my luck so bad? Now, I have to repair this. I hope I can remove the scratch and restore the shine it had.”He quickly entered the car, but then happened to look at the car key as he was about to put it in the keyhole, and noticed a bit of the paint stuck on the key.His eyes widened.And when he remembered whom he had given the car keys to, a visible shock took over his eyes.“Was it Cynthia? Or was it Mia?“It can’t be Mia, right?”He hoped that it wasn’t Mia because so many women had broken his heart, and he didn’t want Mia to join that female group led by Kiera.Either way, he wanted to know who scratched his car.He knew where Cynthia lived, so he straight away went to her

“Mia!” Gabe loudly asked as he rushed over to her. “Are you okay?”His voice startled her and woke her up fast. She was initially scared, but after seeing Gabe, her heart stopped skipping. “Gabe, what are you doing here?”He felt that she picked the words right out of his mouth. “I came here to breathe some fresh air, and I saw you. Why are you here at this hour? It’s not safe for you to be alone here at night.”“I know,” she tapped the bench, as if telling him to sit.Gabe didn’t say another word and sat next to her. There was a foot distance between them, though. He briefly glanced at her, and she didn’t look alright. (Was she crying again?) He remembered the last time when she was crying in her bedroom, while looking at the photo frame of her parents. “Did you come here to feel the breeze, too?” he asked.“Kind of,” she replied and looked at the stars just for the sake of it. She then looked at him and said, “Can I ask you something?”“Yeah. Sure. Anything.” He put the mobile aside

Gabe bought a new mobile and gave it to his aunt. This one was worth less than a thousand dollars, which was ten times less expensive than the last one he had bought for her.“What about the previous phone then?” Nicole couldn’t help but ask him. After hearing from the kids that the mobile was worth close to 10,000 dollars, how could she just give up on that? “I think either that child Draco or one of his friends might have taken it.”Gabe had already told her of that possibility, but she didn’t agree, not wanting him to quarrel with William or Bertha for the mobile.“Forget about that mobile, Mom,” Gabe said. “I’m earning well now, so fighting with Mia’s family for the sake of one mobile isn’t worth it.”“Mm, I understand, but if Draco really was the one who stole it, then I think we must at least tell his parents about it,” Nicole opined. “They will correct their kid.”“I’m not too sure about it, though.” Gabe didn’t think that Carrie or Freddy would punish their own for the sake of
