Silas, who had been keeping his lips sealed, finally blurted out the truth under Alox’s inducement. So, the lesson leamt was, when one bottle of wine wasn’t enough to settle on issue, just try again with a bottle of hard liquor of two However, Alex didn’t quite comprehend what he said because he had been vague. What boyfriend? Hence, he decided to ask him tentatively, “Hos Gianno agreed to go out with you?”

Şilas responded, ‘Yes.” With a frown, Alex pressed on, What about the guy you saw her with? Hos she been unfaithful to you?”

Silas put down the wine glass and leaned on the sofa before he answered, ‘He’s her senior who’s been having a crush on her The crease on Alex’s forehead deepened. What does that mean? Is she hoving an affair with her senior

At first Alex found the matter intriguing as gossip but the more he learnt about it, the more of a moss he found it to be

He thought Silas, a man who had been single for 28 years, only didn’t know how to date a woman. He did not expect that he would even be dating someone who was having an affair! Gloring at him with annoyance, Silos snopped, “What nonsense are you spouting? She isn’t having an affair Alex snorted in responso, “If that’s the case, why are you so sulky? Tell me now, who’s that senior and how long have they known each other? That guy must be quite outstanding to be able to anaich your girdi After taking a sharp intake of breath, Silas responded, “Seven years!” Alex appeared to relax when he heard that “Do you mean Gianna has known her senior for seven years 7 “Yes”

Pursing his lips, Alex analyzed, ‘Nothing happened between them despite knowing each other for seven years and she is now you’s So, what is there to be worried about? If she was ever interested in her senior, they would have doted each other a long time before this and you wouldn’t even be in the picture Removing his arm which was covering his eyes, Silos sat upright with enlightenment. ‘If that’s the case, why does she want to keep her senior in the dark about my existence? Since her senior isn’t her parents, he has no right to stop her from dating. Of does she just refuse to recognize me as her boyfriend of all? Looking exasperated, he was adamant to believe that Gianna didn’t care about him, or that he just didn’t matter to her as much as George did After some conternplation, Alex advised, You are free to shoro such thoughts with me but you’d better keep your mouth shut when you’re with Gianna.” ‘P’ve already told her Taken aback by what he said, Alex gosped, “Really? Didn’t she get angry with you? A feeling of resignation swept over Silos at the mention of the matter Ho plurred, “She yelled at me and told me she wanted to two-ume me and then break up with me so that she could stan daung her senior Regardless, the just didn’t feel like recognizing me as her boyfriend.” He puused to catch his breath before carrying on, I know she only said all that out of spite to anger me but l Without speaking

another word, he clutched his chest with one hand to soothe his heartache Having taken a deep breath, Alex potted his shoulder and sighed, “I think you’re hopelessly in love with hert Silas picked up a glass of hard liquor and downed its content of one go without answering him. No longer in the mood to tease him, Alex grabbed his arm when he was trying to rohill is glass with more booze

Well, I understand why you’re lecting upse now. Ion’t it because you don’t get to see Gianno openly?

You’re thunking that she’s keeping your existence a secret because she’s follen in love with her senior, aren’t you? Looking embarrassed, Silas quickly denied, ‘I didn’t say that! Alex chuckled. There’s no point in denying it because you know that it’s true subconsciously You already felt insecure about your relationship with her right from the boginning and what she said only worsened your anety. However, I think you should try to put yourcell in her shoes. How do you expect her to introduce you as her boyfriend to a senior whom she rejected despite her having a crush on her for seven years?” Silas anored, begging to diller. ‘I don’t see why she can’t introduce mo os her boyfriend. I she’s taking our relationsNp seriously, what difference does it make? Ho’ll know about it sooner or later, won’t he?
