Nemesis Game
Chapter 18 You Should Go Home Now
While they were both known to be polite, the situation between Gabriel and Ruben was getting tense. The other presidents at the meeting were holding their breath.
What was going on today? Gabriel was known for having a great temper, but he went against Ruben because of a woman?
The air became heavy and suffocating.
Ruben’s gaze was sharp and cold like a blade, and he locked his gaze on Gabriel and Samantha.
“I’m surprised that you care so much about my personal affairs, Mr. Baker,” said Ruben in a low and emotionless voice, “I cannot help but think that you probably have a crush on me, not on her.”
Samantha didn’t know that Ruben could be so sharp-tongued.
Was he trying to gossip about Gabriel? Sarcastically saying that Gabriel was in love with him?
Samantha looked to the side and Gabriel wasn’t affected at all. He wasn’t even mad, “Mr. Knight, you are thinking too much. My sexual orientation is normal.”
“Really, I can’t tell,” Ruben squinted his eyes, giving out an oppressive aura.
Samantha found it hard to breathe all of a sudden. Ruben was Ruben. It had been a while and she was still traumatized by him.
But she didn’t love him anymore.
Why should she still be afraid of him?
She should grow some backbone and try to look into his eyes without any fear.
Samantha wasn’t Samantha anymore. She was now Helena.
“Mr. Knight, there’s a lot of things that one can’t tell just by looking, just like how I can’t tell what you are thinking right now. Your wife just died in a fire, yet you announced your marriage with Ms. Moore and flaunted it around.” Gabriel’s tone of voice was turning serious, with a hint of mockery and antipathy, “I pity Mrs. Knight.”
Ruben’s pupil contracted and there was a wave of emotions surging in his eyes.
Normally, he was good at controlling his emotions, but his whole body was exploding in rage right now, “Gabriel…”
He didn’t move and was just standing still, but the way he said his name sent shivers down their spines.
“I don’t want to hear a word about that woman, and my patience is running thin.”
