The atmosphere around the house was calm. Macy and Gabrielle were seen discussing an issue which made Gabrielle open her mouth wide in total surprise. Just in case Gabrielle didn't believe her words, she repeated them for emphasis.
"It's true, Gabrielle. The news did not only spread in the school, but also in the circle. It is being rumored that Emily and Cassie have offended a very influential person this time around. I heard that both families have locked them up because they are afraid of revenge. It serves those pests right; they deserve all they are getting at the moment. I remembered that they threatened you and caused you a whole lot of trouble in time past. Are you not glad to hear what's going on with them right now?"
Macy smiled as she spoke to her.
Although anytime she remembered they caused her trouble in the past, she was not happy, but she couldn't rejoice to know that she had something to do with the two of them being locked up.
She could also guess who could have done something like this. She couldn't think of anyone else other than Westley for the now. No one else she knew could be this merciless.
"Who threatened you, Gabby?" Remy disrupted her thoughts immediately he came in.
'Gabby?' Hearing this, Macy turned around to see who had walked in. She was captivated by what she saw. He looked well-built and breathtakingly handsome.
'Wow! His handsomeness is out of this world and he's way different from the schoolboys in college, ' she thought to herself as she stared at him admiringly.
"Gabrielle, is this your boyfriend?" Macy blurted out still staring at him.
She frowned her face a little bit to show how displeased she was with Macy's question. She knew he wouldn't be happy with such a misunderstanding.
"No, he is not." She rolled her eyes. "He is..."
"I'm her brother. My name is Remy Davis. Nice to meet you. Are you one of her classmates? Who did you say had bullied her in school?" he asked her like a gentleman.
Macy was completely enchanted by his good looks and appearance. Furthermore, he behaved like a gentleman. Grace and elegance oozed out from him as she felt her heart flutter. He was a Prince Charming.
'Gabrielle's cousin is so hot!' she thought as she gazed at him still. Without thinking, she thought of him as Gabrielle's cousin. A brother who had a different surname must be a cousin.
"Nice to meet you, Remy," she said as she offered him a handshake. "I'm Macy, Gabrielle's classmate. Your sister was bullied earlier by two girls because one of them liked the most handsome guy in our school. But he wasn't interested in any of them; he liked only Gabrielle, and so, they felt frustrated by her. Because of this, they tried to make school unbearable for her," she explained to him as quickly as possible.
Gabrielle wanted to stop her from talking, but it was already too late. She said everything so fast.
"Remy, it's not as serious as Macy made it look," she explained to him hurriedly pouting her mouth.
"There is no need for any explanation, Gabby. It's a very normal thing for a lot of boys to like someone as beautiful as you, right?" He winked.
"That's very correct. This sister of yours is quite popular in school. She has many people crushing on her both among the seniors and juniors, but she refused to date any of them. She even turned down the most handsome guy in the school!" Macy was completely hypnotized by Remy's good looks and told him everything in a heartbeat.
Remembering how Jag sincerely confessed his love to Gabrielle and how she rejected him in public made Macy suddenly feel sorry for him but then, one couldn't help it. Gabrielle didn't like him after all and couldn't pretend she did.
On the other hand, she appreciated and respected her decision. She also held her in high esteem. If she didn't like someone, she rejected him out rightly instead of playing with his feelings.
"It seems like she is popular." He laughed so hard. Gabrielle looked at him, surprised and was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why he laughed in such a manner.
