In the past, Macy had only thought and treated Austin as a senior from the same university. To her, he was a big shot who could only be seen from a distance.
Austin was like a celebrity among the students since he joined Alorith University. He was not only handsome, but also could do anything he wanted. Being the son of Foster family, he had a powerful background, and because of it, many people tried to flatter him. However, they found it difficult to get close to him, let alone become his friends.
In fact, Austin was famous for his ways of choosing friends in Antawood. If he had no interest in meeting someone, the other party could never be able to meet him no matter what.
On the contrary, Gabrielle was the only girl whom Austin took the initiative to get close to. At that time, Gabrielle kept a low-profile and hence, almost no one knew her existence. However, because of Austin, she became well-known by many people.
Therefore, it was impossible for Macy to become acquaintance with someone like Austin. If it weren't for Gabrielle, she would never have a chance to get to know him for the rest of her life, let alone riding his car. In her memory, she could only recall him as her senior.
Seeing the distraught look on Macy's face, Gabrielle asked genuinely, "Are you okay? Am I right? What did Austin say to upset you? Tell me. I'll talk to him later."
Hearing it, Macy chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it, Gabrielle. Mr. Foster didn't say anything. He just sent me home so, I'm so happy and grateful for it."
Gabrielle was relieved to hear her words. She had known Austin for a long time therefore, she knew what kind of man he was. He was always patient and gentle with her.
So, he would be a gentleman in taking care of other girls too.
Of course, Gabrielle had no doubt about it. Besides, Macy was also Austin's junior. It was reasonable for him to give her a ride.
With a grin, Gabrielle said softly, "Actually, Austin has always been gentle and kind. I should have known that he would send you home safe and sound. My bad for thinking too much."
Flashing her a smile, Macy said, "Yeah, Mr. Foster is a gentleman."
Only she knew the real reason why Austin had agreed to drive her home. It was for the sake of Gabrielle.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to help Gabrielle to calm down, he would not have agreed to give Macy a ride. She was sure about it and she didn't dare to think there was something more.
Maybe that night might be the last time she would have some sort of connection with Austin. She would probably never have a chance like that in the future.
After everything that happened last night, Macy had come to a conclusion that Austin was tender and gentle only to Gabrielle. To others, he was simply indifferent and cold.
And Macy knew that very well.
While they were talking, Gabrielle received a call from Austin.
With a smile on her face, Gabrielle picked it up and stole a glance at Macy subconsciously as she greeted, "Hi, Austin."
Once Macy heard Austin's name, she turned to look at Gabrielle.
From the other end of the phone, Austin addressed bluntl
y, "Gabrielle, give me Macy's phone number."
His words attracted Gabrielle's attention. Then, she asked, "Macy's number? Do you have something to talk to her?" While talking, she stared at Macy's face as if she was looking for some answers.
She had a feeling that something she didn't know had happened between the two of them.
