Chapter 205: CH 205
The door to the room clicked shut behind Dave, leaving a charged silence in the hallway. Outside, the others couldn’t help but wonder what was going on, the curiosity and tension hanging thick in the air.
The three teenage boys, standing just out of sight, exchanged restless glances. Their bodies were taut, their eyes sharp with barely contained emotion. Gab was at the front, his fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with rage.
He was furious, absolutely furious. His mind raced with thoughts of Ella and Dave, her subtle smile earlier that had made his stomach twist with jealousy. He had always kept his feelings hidden, but now, seeing her go into that room with Dave... it felt like a kick to his stomach.
"I’m going in there," Gab muttered, his voice low, filled with determination. The other two, Felix and Fin, exchanged a glance before stepping in front of him.
"Gab, hold up," Felix said, his tone trying to be calm but tinged with concern. "You’re going to get yourself into trouble. You know Chris is here, right?"
Felix’s hand went to Gab’s shoulder, an attempt to stop him, but Gab shrugged it off violently. His eyes were wild, burning with the kind of anger that Felix hasn’t seen before.
"I don’t care about Chris, or anyone else," Gab spat. "This is about Ella. How dare that brat make a move on her? She’s mine!" His voice shook with the intensity of his feelings, and his fists tightened even further.
Felix’s face creased in frustration as he tried again. "Gab, listen to me. Chris hasn’t said anything, but that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. If he learns that we were trying to sneak away, or worse, challenge Dave, like you’re doing now, well, we’ll be in real trouble. He’ll tell the executives not to let us on another mission. We might even get kicked off the executive team." His voice dropped, the weight of his words sinking in. "Is that really what you want?"
Gab didn’t answer right away. His eyes flickered with a hint of hesitation, but it only lasted a moment. He was too angry to be reasoned with.
"No," Gab growled, shaking off the doubt. "I don’t care if Chris is watching. I’m taking that brat down, right now." His voice was resolute, and without another word, he shoved past Felix, his stride determined as he moved toward the door of the small room.
