Chapter 65
Three days had passed since the Ken Noma incident.
"You... you bastard, Luka...!"
I was listening to Gabriel’s drunken rambling. I wasn’t the affectionate type, but this was something I had to endure.
"I, I... Martina, ugh, do you even know what kind of humiliation I suffered there? Do you?!"
Gabriel grabbed my collar and shook me. I felt a surge of irritation, but just this once, I let it slide.
Thud.
Gabriel let go of my collar and sighed so heavily that his shoulders collapsed.
I glanced at Gabriel before taking a sip of my synthetic juice. Hmm, this one was apple-flavored. I had never eaten a real apple before, so I couldn’t say for sure if this was what it actually tasted like.
Last night, Gabriel had been dragged away by Grace like a pig to the slaughterhouse. Then, he had spent the night with the boss of La Vie en Rose. In other words, he had rolled around in bed with Martina the Diva.
"You... had a rough time."
Not knowing what else to say, I responded mechanically. Gabriel took a swig straight from the bottle and raised his voice, on the verge of tears.
