Antagonist And Second Lead
Just slow down

"So, didn't you say that?" Camila asked as she took a sip of water on the glass, staring at the silver man plate across there.

Gabriel put down the philosophy book he had just read, staring at Camila who looked paler than when he last met "Yes. Don't you think that your family's a little too hard on the heir-to-be?"

The unreliable figure of the older brother then flashed through his mind. Makes him sigh long "Aiden lied to you, Gabriel."

"Eh?"

His voice looked serious as usual as he explained this matter "Our father will not do such a useless test. At most he'll just freeze all the cards, confiscate some perks and have me crawl myself from the bottom of the Blazemoche company."

The silver man tidied up the bandages wrapped around his head, smiling "Oh so? Thankfully ... I thought he was really gonna throw you out of the country."

Camila just shook her head "No way."

Looking at Camila's background in their video call, he could guess that this was the other party's balcony room. Everything is dominated by wood and ivory white, in line with the house dress she wears. But what worried her at the moment was how pale and dry Camila's lips were, as if the girl had been under house arrest for days "So ... How are you doing? Sorry, I can't help much."

Hearing the other party ask about the situation earlier, he gave a small smile and replied calmly "I'm good. You don't have to feel guilty either, Gabriel. CCTV is already solid evidence of this incident, Frost is leaving."

"Is that? Thank goodness ..." She commented a very bright smile as she said this.

The situation became awkward.

Camila continued to observe Gabriel without saying anything, only blinking with a straight look. While Gabriel was being stared at in such a way by the girl he liked, it certainly became a misbehavior and played his fingers with the pupils of the eyes that circled around here and there.

"How are you doing, Gabriel?" He finally asked, however, it would be inappropriate for only Gabriel to ask about his condition when the man was injured for his sake.

Sure enough, Gabriel's pair of bright purple eyes sparkled very brightly and replied with great enthusiasm "I'm good! Thanks for worrying about me."

If only this was an anime series, Camila was sure she could see a pair of ears as well as a large tail twitching around Gabriel's body.

While pouring water, Camila expressed her gratitude sincerely "After all, thank you for intervening at that time."

"Mrs. How can I see you being treated like that?" Gabriel said this proudly, even his chest was already somewhat puffed up.

With a heart that almost exploded of course.

The answer also instantly turned off the atmosphere just now, the two went back to silence with Gabriel moving restlessly as well as Camila who was staring straight at him.

"....."

"...."

"So?" His bill.

Gabriel showed an expression as if he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, before finally laughing "Your sensitivity is really terrible, Camila."

"So?"

"When ... You're gonna break up with her?" Gabriel asked this back.

Honestly, he was surprised to get such a direct question like this "Who said we were going to break up?"

"Eh? But ..." The other party looked stunned.

Camila calmly replied "Because of one thing or another, I won't break up with her."

Gabriel grabbed her phone closer and squinted at Camila inside her screen, deeply displeased "Don't tell me you like her?"

He really doesn't know what else to say to this guy "Gabriel, what do you think of every day? First Arianna, now Frost."

"....."

"Don't be blindly jealous. You're sweet, but this makes you look terrible."

"I'm not jealous!" Despite the objection, her brain kept a fine line where Camila praised her sweetly.

Gabriel instantly pushed away the phone with a blushing face, chuckling "OK, a little."

"I thought so."

The two fell back into silence, and Gabriel remained the first to break the silence by calling out

"Camila?"

"Yes?"

"Can you also make a date with me?" He covered his sweet smile.

Too bad, not working with Camila.

"I don't think so."

The other party instantly lost his smile and asked pitifully "Why?"

Since you are a second lead, your feelings are too pure and it will be very burdensome.

That's what he thought, but his mouth said

"I don't want you to fall on me any more, we won't fit in anyway."

Gabriel defended himself by dragging a name

"But Lance"

"Lance's feelings were shallow, after she was relieved she would also behave as usual" Camila cut off her speech heartlessly.

The silver man opened and closed his mouth to respond, but all that came out was ".... You're evil."

The girl just nodded "Sama-sama. Then rest, I'll shut it down. See you soon."

Just before Camila closed the call, Gabriel reflexively said "Wait, I ..."

"Yes?"

He swallowed back his words "I mean ... You too, Camila. See you soon."

Call disconnected.

Gabriel immediately threw his phone to the other side of the bed, pulling the bandage loose before slumping on the bed. His chest moved up and down very clearly, his arms were also used to cover his eyes as he started muttering to himself

"It's okay, just slow down."

"True, just slow down."

"There's plenty of time."

He ruffled his own hair, then looked at the sun that was still shining brightly outside the window, entered and hit his body and room were all white. Gabriel regained his smile, thinking that the afternoon sun was warmer than usual and getting positive thoughts.

"If not today, then tomorrow."

"If not tomorrow, then tomorrow again."

Hearing what came out of his own mouth, he was stunned for a while before finally laughing alone "Hah ... It's ridiculous."

"Why did I become like this?" He shook his head briefly and looked back at the distance of the horizon.

"Camila, you have to take responsibility."
