Chapter 143: Don’t they look good
Luke already knew who Gwen was but still kept to himself on Tristan’s word. He purposely tried to get close to Gwen to get so reaction from Karl, and to an extent, he succeeded.
After so days, he found that Gwen and Karl had started dating, so he stopped visiting the company using different excuses.
But today, when Tristan personally ca to visit him, he found a problem between the two again, and he just wanted him to play along until Karl finally gave in.
Gwen sat still in her seat as she tried to grasp every word Luke said. She wanted to run inside the house and hug her brother for supporting her. But wait... why did he have to stress
so much.
’No, I won’t hug him,’ she said, erasing the latter.
Gwen felt relief when the hurdles that seed to stress her weren’t even a hurdle. It was all her brother’s work to help her.
Looking at Luke, she couldn’t help but feel thankful for him. She opened her mouth to say sothing when he stopped her," Now, don’t thank . I did what I felt was right."
Luke was such a wonderful guy with a pure heart, and she would always be grateful to et him.
After talking with Luke, Gwen was finally feeling a lot better. He even proposed continuing this act until Karl confessed, and she agreed to him without thinking twice.
Gwen asked him not to utter anything they talked to Tristan as she wanted to spoil the act and let it feel genuine.
Gwen knew she could trust him with this, and with a happy smile, she stepped out of his car and walked inside the mansion gates.

Karl stepped into his house drunk. After watching Gwen drive away with Luke, he felt sad and broken.
He wanted to vent his frustration, so instead of returning ho, he went to the bar and drowned himself in alcohol. He got high with just one glass of whiskey as a lightweight drinker. That was his only limit.
Tossing his suit on the couch, he stumbled, walked towards his bed, and slumd down.
His eyes had turned red as he cried all the way ho. He was missing Gwen, but being with that Luke guy made him go crazy.
He kept recalling their mories together and felt even more miserable. How did everything change within a blink of an eye that he couldn’t even do anything about changing it back again?
Pulling out his phone from his pocket, he made a call and brought it close to his ear. His eyes had never stopped tearing up when he drove away from the company.
The ring went for a while when the call was picked." Gwen..." Karl sniffed as he called her na on the call.
"Are you so upset with ... that you don’t want to talk with " he wiped off his tears and tried to sit on the bed but fell.
"I... know I was a jerk, okay, but... please don’t push ..." staying still, he kept talking without hearing anything back from her.
"I can’t handle your indifference, please... Gwen, I am sorry I will do anything, but please don’t agree to a date that Luke. I can’t see you with him. It rips my heart."
Karl was so overflowing with his emotions that he didn’t hold back and kept talking his heart out until he passed out on the bed with the call still on.

Gwen was sitting in her room thinking about the strategy to make Karl jealous. She didn’t want to use any hard way to hurt Karl because after what she witnessed today, she was sure that Karl was slowly losing his mind.
Brainstorming her mind with different ideas, she finally picked the one that seed more worthwhile.
A mischievous grin appeared on her face, and she lay on the bed imagining Karl’s face when he learned about her going out on a date with Luke.
"Sorry, Karl, but if I have to make you speak, then I have to do this," she said, feeling bad for Karl, but all this was important for her to have a future with him.
With this hope in mind, she closed her eyes and drifted asleep.

The following day Tristan woke up and started getting ready for work. He was so engrossed doing his job that he didn’t realise when Ashley woke up.
Fixing his tie, Tristan took a final look at himself and turned when he saw his wife gawking at him. His lips curled into a flirtatious smile, and he walked to the bed, leaning down and pecking her lips.
"Stop doing that, or else I will have to stay here by your side" his seductive words made her look at him.
Ashley could feel his burning gaze on her and knew if she kept testing him, he would turn his words into reality.
"Ahem... no need," she said, pushing him away.
"I don’t want to waste my ti sleeping the entire day
