    Jane's expression turned thoughtful. "But we need to be strategic about it. We can't just get up on stage and make the announcement without a plan in place. We need to think about the potential backlash, the Drakes' response, and how we'll handle it all."Gunther nodded, his face set in determination. "I know, Jane. I've already thought about all of that.

    "I've missed you, Debra," he said, his voice low and husky, filled with a longing that was hard to ignore. "We haven't really had time to talk well after school, you know.

    Jane's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing through Gunther's defenses. "Come on, stop deceiving yourself," she said, her voice firm but gentle. "You know who you are, Gunther. You're the richest person in the country. If you want her, you would get her to leave with you. Or do you just want to play around with her, get intimate, and that's all?"Gunther's face darkened, his jaw clenched in response. "You don't understand, Jane. It's not that simple. I can't just buy love or affection. And even if I could, I wouldn't want to. I'm not that kind of person."Jane raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "Really? Then what kind of person are you, Gunther? The kind who lets fear and doubt hold them back from true connection? The kind who settles for superficial relationships because they're afraid to dive deeper?"Gunther's eyes flashed with anger, but Jane could see the hint of truth in her words. She knew she had struck a nerve, and she pressed on, her voice softening."Listen, Gunther.
