Sylvia wrapped her arms around him, standing on her tiptees to meet his kiss.
Gabriel lifted her effortlessly, striding towards the bed with a determined look in his eyes.
He gently placed her on the bed and leaned down to capture her lips, murmuring, "What did you just call me?"
Her eyes shimmering with mischief, Sylvia gazed up at him seductively, her voice a sultry whisper, “Can't I use the name everyone else does?” Before he could respond, she tilted her head up, the picture of innocence, "If you don't like it, I won't say it again.”
"I don't like it." he confessed, kissing her more passionately, "Others may have used that name, but it won't be yours. Try dropping the first part.” Considering for a moment, Sylvia softly spoke, "Sweetie?"
"Mhm." Gabriel grunted, his response low and husky as his kisses deepened.
A wave of affection swept through Sylvia, and she responded with equal fervor.
Meanwhile, Audrey was staring in disbelief at the disconnected call, her face a tumultuous mix of shock and anger.
A mere trifle, daring to vie for a man!
She had fallen for Gabriel at first sight, and her affection for him was well-known throughout their social circle. Even when she pursued him to his dorm, he remained indifferent.
Her public confession at the New Year's Eve party was met with his cold indifference; he didn't even bother with a response before walking away. Humiliated, she had agreed to date Baron in a fit of pique.
After Baron was discharged, they both returned to J City, where she discovered he was seeing several other women. They had a huge fight and broke up.
Over the years, she'd had a few boyfriends but none lasted.
Two days ago, Shirley had called to tell her Gabriel was in J City. Just hearing his name made her heart flutter and distracted her from everything else.
She handed off her work and rushed back, never expecting to actually run inte him.
Seeing him again, she realized why. no manhad caught her eye since once.you ‘ve loved an eagle, how could you settle for common fowl?
If Gabriel was with Sylvia for money, Audrey was determined she could offer him that too!
A look of fierce resolve crossed her face.
Suddenly, another call came through. She picked up her phone» her excitement waning as she saw the-caller ID. Swnovel.net =
Swiping to answer, she spoke tersely, "What do you want at this hour?”
I've missed you, it's been a while," Baron's voice came through with a hint of laughter. Audrey scoffed, "Cut the crap, get to the point."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Baron got down to business, "Your old flame is in J City, have you seen him?"
Her eyes narrowed, "Yes. I have."
Baron sighed theatrically, "After all these years, he still hasn't given you a second look. Such a pity.” "Are you calling to mock me?" Audrey demanded.
"Of course not, I'm here to help!" Baron assured her.
Audrey's voice was icy, "Why would someone as rotten to the core as you want to help me?" Baron remained unfazed, "To be honest, I've taken a fancy to Sylvia.”
Audrey's realization was swift, "That explains it."
"So, let's work together. You want Gabriel, I'll take Sylvia."
"What's your plan?” Audrey inquired, her interest piqued.
‘Just a littléscheme," Baron chuckled: darkly, ’ ‘I wronged you x: once; this time, I'll deliver Gabriel to youras recompense. " Content belongs to >
