Kathleen pursed her lips silently.
Why did Samuel lie to me? Did he lie to me so I can eat in peace? I don’t remember him being this nice.
“Eat up,” Gemma told her. “You can buy some takeaway food and deliver it to him later.”
Kathleen inclined her head.
“The quinoa salad from this restaurant is the bomb. You can buy that for him,” Gemma suggested.
“Sure thing.” Kathleen did not want Samuel to starve and wait for her, as he could end up in the hospital.
After dinner, Gemma drove Kathleen back to Macari Group.
Kathleen walked into the building with the food in her hand.
Gemma turned to look at her brother. “Benjamin, you’re growing more and more apart from Kathleen.”
Benjamin remained unperturbed. “Nothing matters more than her happiness.”
Bitterness rose in Gemma’s heart. “If those things hadn’t happened, you’d still be Kate’s childhood sweetheart, and—”
“It has already happened. Let’s go.” Benjamin had accepted reality.
Gemma’s lips thinned.
Such was life, and everything was set in stone.
They just were not meant to be.
“Who do you think Kate will end up with?” Gemma queried. “Samuel or Christopher?”
Benjamin gave her a sidelong glance. “Kate’s choice matters the most, right?”
“Benjamin, Kate won’t pick Christopher.” Gemma seemed sure of it. “I can’t tell if she still loves Samuel, but did you hear her talking about Christopher during dinner?”
Benjamin stiffened.
“A woman’s intuition is highly accurate.” Gemma started the engine. “You don’t know us well.”
With that said, she sped away.
Meanwhile, Kathleen walked into Macari Group.
Upon spotting her, the security guard greeted her warmly, “Ms. Johnson! Are you here to meet Mr. Macari?”
