章 45: Jealous

"What are you up to now, Arabelle?" Gabriel asked softly.

Arabelle hesitated, biting her lip as she replied, "Um, I'm just..."

Gabriel sighed and took a step back. "I know what you saw at the airport, Arabelle."

Arabelle felt a moment of panic as she realized that Gabe would, of course, know about Demetri's mistress. Had he already discovered her plan? Humiliated that her scheme had been exposed by this man who always looked down on her, she prepared to argue with him when he added, "I know you've liked him for a long time. But using me to forget him isn't going to be too helpful, hmm?"

Arabelle had been about to snap at him when she realized what he had said. Her plan had not been discovered! Gabe had assumed that she had let go of her love for Demetri because of that mistress and was now using him for a rebound. Well, that was good, wasn't it? She had not lied to him. He was the one who misunderstood.
