I shake my head, incredulous. “You don’t understand, Ethan. Gianna can’t be trusted. She has a history of manipulation and deceit. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you’re dating her, let alone hiring her to handle your campaign.”
Ethan’s expression tightens, and he shoots back, “Karl, that’s just your personal bias talking. Gianna didn’t do anything wrong, and I won’t let you hold grudges against her. Her emails were tampered with, and we've cleared that up.”
His words make me groan. I’ve already tried to make him realize the truth multiple times, but he’s just not seeing it. In his eyes, Gianna did nothing wrong, andI’mthe one who’s causing trouble.
“Ethan, you know how I feel about her,” I say with a sigh. “I thought I could look past the fact that you two are together because I just want my brother to be happy, but… Ethan, she’s a cheat and a liar. You don’t want her managing your campaign. And frankly, I don’t want her involved.”
Ethan’s eyes narrow, and he leans in closer. “Karl, I won’t tolerate hate speech against Gianna. She’s going to be a part of this campaign whether you like it or not, and I expect you to treat her with respect.”
I lean back in my chair, frustrated beyond belief. It’s clear that Ethan won’t budge on this issue, and arguing further will only strain our relationship.
“Fine,” I mutter under my breath. “Call her in, then.”
A moment later, Gianna is standing in front of my desk, and I feel as though I’ll scream. But I manage to keep my cool for the sake of not only my campaign but also my brother, and instead focus my frayed nerves on the election.
“Hello, Gianna,” I say, leaning back in my chair. “So you’re going to be Ethan’s campaign manager.”
She nods, her snakelike eyes fixed on me as she stands beside my brother’s chair. She’s got her hand on his shoulder, and I want nothing more than to swat it away and tell her to get the hell away from him.
