After hanging up the phone, Gabriel looked much more relaxed. But when he saw me, his smile froze on his face.
"Miss Hunter, why are you here?"
The expression on Gabriel's face became a little unnatural, and he was avoiding my eyes. This made me sure that he was w=doing something wrong.
"I heard your call just now."
I got to the point immediately. Now I didn't like this man named Gabriel at all, because I was sure that he wasn't a good guy.
Hearing what I said, I could clearly see that the expression on Gabriel's face had changed, and there was a guilty look in his eyes.
"Well, Miss Hunter, I..."
Gabriel tried to give me an explanation anxiously, but before he could finish his words, I interrupted him.
"Mr Austin, let's talk over there. There are so many people coming and going here. You don't want others to overhear, do you?"
I pointed to the end of the corridor, where there was a window, and said this to Gabriel.
The expression on Gabriel's face became stiff, but because he was guilty, he could only follow me to the window.
"You were calling another woman, and you have an abnormal relationship with her, am I right?"
I stared at Gabriel coldly, and my voice was demanding. When I thought of the fact that Gabriel had an affair with another woman behind Evie's back, I was full of anger.
Evie was my best friend. I wouldn't allow her to suffer even a little.
"Yes..." Gabriel knew that I had heard everything on his call, so he was very smart and did not deny it.
"Miss Hunter, could you please not tell Evie about the phone call just now?"
Gabriel looked at me anxiously with pleading eyes.
"Answer my question honestly. Do you like the woman on the phone or Evie? If you don't like Evie, just break up with her!"
He was a scumbag, just like Vaughn, so I had no good feelings towards him at all. I did not disguise my scathing words at all. I wasn't worried about ruining our relationship. I was more worried that Evie would be betrayed.
"Of course I like Evie. The woman who called me was just a young girl who had been pestering me. I didn't know what to do, so I coaxed her. I'm telling the truth, I only love Evie!"
As soon as my question came out, Gabriel immediately raised his finger and assured me that the person he loved in his heart was Evie.
If it were me, I would definitely not want a two-faced, cheating man like Gabriel. But I could see that Evie really liked him. If she knew about this now, she would be sad.
"I can keep this from Evie, but you have to promise me one thing!"
After thinking for a long time, I decided to give Gabriel a chance. After all, he was not as bad as Vaughn, who cheated on his fiancee with her best friend.
"What conditions? Tell me! As long as you don't tell Evie about what happened today, I will agree to any of your conditions."
Gabriel looked at me, flustered. Before I could say what I wanted, he agreed without hesitation.
