Chapter 3329 Who Says Women Are The Only Ones Who Are Fickle
A couple of days ago, Gale told him that they were brothers who would stick together through thick and thin. Whoever started dating first would be a dog.
Now, Gale was willing to be that dog!
Luke took a sip of the lemon water Luca had been drinking. "Feeling a bit jealous?"
"He didn't stick to the promise of being single together," Gordan vented to them both.
"He dragged me out for drinks a few days ago, talking about how we were in this together, and now, he's getting ready to confess his feelings? Who says women are the only ones who are fickle? Men can be just as unpredictable!" added Gordan, still grumbling.
Luke shot him a cold glance. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you had a crush on Gale."
"Ugh, come on!" exclaimed Gordan, spitting out in disgust. "I'm not into guys."
"Mr. Norton, if you don't feel that way about Mr. Gale, then why the long face? Could it be..." Even though Luca thought it was unlikely, she decided to tease him and deliberately changed her expression. "Do you like Miss Rain?"
"Come on, Dr. Craw, don't set me up like that!" Gordan quickly denied it. "If Gale misunderstands, he'll definitely beat me up. You were the one who said I couldn't engage in any intense activities. If I get beaten up and have to fight back, I'll get hurt, and then I'll have to trouble you again!"
Luca looked helplessly at Luke.
She wanted to tease him, but his logic left her speechless, and she suddenly did not know how to respond. Luke said, "You should be wishing Gale the best."
"Are you sure about that? Once they confess and get together, I'll be working with them and getting hit with their PDA every day. I don't think I can handle that!"
"I'm planning to set up a new subsidiary overseas. Why don't you come help out? That way, you won't have to deal with their romance," suggested Luke.
"No way! I still prefer A City," Gordan replied without hesitation. "Honestly, I can deal with the couple stuff, and most of the time, they're not even working together."
Luke squeezed Luca's hand, clearly unimpressed by Gordan's behavior.
Luca smiled back at him.
Gordan looked devastated. "Come on, can you guys not show off your relationship like that?"
"Is this really showing off?" Luca asked as she held Luke's hand tighter.
He gently squeezed it, sending a little shiver down her spine.
Gordan looked defeated. "If this isn't showing off, then what is?"
Just as he finished speaking, a slideshow of photos began playing on the projector in the center of the garden.
Luca could not help but frown. "Why did they choose these photos?"
While others used sweet photos for confessions, Gale's planning company had opted for images of Rain in action. They were either of her fighting or with someone else.
In those photos, there was no sign of affection between Gale and Rain.
Moreover, Rain looked pretty fierce and cool, showing no hint of feminine softness.
Luca smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Yeah! It's my first time confessing, and I just hope Rain will cut me some slack and not turn me down," replied Gale, rubbing his hands nervously. Even though he knew this was something Rain wanted, he was worried she might still be unsatisfied and end up rejecting him.
He even invited their mutual friends and quite a few colleagues to help with the event this time. If she rejected him in front of everyone, Gale thought he would lose his dignity.
Luca reassured him, "Relax. You've put so much thought into this. She's definitely going to say yes."
Gale's eyes lit up. "Ms. Craw, did you ask her about it?"
"No." Luca shook her head with a smile. "Isn't this supposed to be a surprise for her? I haven't said a word."
"Oh, I see. I'm still nervous, though. She has already turned me down once. If she says no again, I don't think I'll have the courage to ask her again." Gale paced anxiously back and forth.
Luke frowned. Was this the same Gale, who was usually decisive and efficient?
When it came to his feelings for Rain, he had completely transformed into a different person.
"Can you stop pacing? Doesn't it make you dizzy?" Luke asked in a cold voice.
Gale paused, letting out a breath. "Boss, I'm just really nervous."
"What's there to be nervous about? Rain likes you, and you like her. So, take it easy." Luke wrapped his arm around Luca.
Gale let out a sigh, thinking to himself, 'Of course, you wouldn't be nervous. You've already found your true love!' However, it was different for him!
He could not shake the feeling that Rain would make things difficult for him.
After all, Rain had never dated before, and winning her over might be a real challenge.
"Mr. Gale, relax. It'll make things more likely to go wrong. If you're still feeling nervous, maybe check in with the event staff on the flow one more time," suggested Luca. She and Luke really could not help him much more thanContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
that.
"Good idea. There's a buffet over there. Please help yourselves. I'll go confirm everything with the team." Gale nodded, then walked over to the coordinator to double-check the event details.
Luca took Luke's hand and led him to the buffet table.
Since they had hurried here, they had not had a proper dinner.
"Want some fish?" asked Luca.
"Sure," Luke agreed.
"Go take a seat, and I'll grab us some." Luca let go of his hand and walked to the buffet. She picked out some of Luke's favorite foods and a few other dishes they both enjoyed. Then, she joined him at the table.
By then, several colleagues had gathered around Luke.
Luca waited off to the side when she saw them discussing work. She approached with a smile after it ended. Even at an event like this, you're discussing work?"
Luke rose to his feet, pulled out a chair for her, and glanced toward the center of the park, where Gale was still deep in discussion with the event team. "Gale's the most nervous person here, so his people won't disturb him. They came to me instead."
Luca handed him the plate, which was filled with their favorite foods. "Have some. It's everything you like."
"Let's eat together," said Luke, picking up a piece of fish with his spoon and bringing it to her lips.
She opened her mouth, but since it was too big, she could only take a bite.
Without hesitation, he popped the other half into his mouth.
"Oh, you..." Luca's face turned red and glanced around.
Some of Luke's subordinates were watching them.
Luca said in a soft voice, "They're all looking!"
"They wouldn't dare say anything," replied Luke. Most of the people invited were colleagues, many of whom were also his subordinates.
Luca's cheeks reddened. "It isn't about us today, so we shouldn't be showing off too much," murmured Luca, not wanting to overshadow Gale and Rain. She picked up her own cutlery and joined him in eating.
As they were finishing up, Gordan approached. "You guys got here early!"
"It's not that early," replied Luke, glancing up. "What's with the expression?"
"What else? We were supposed to be two single guys growing old together. And now, he's about to fall into someone else's arms, leaving me all alone." Gordon curled his lips in disdain as he glanced at Gale, his expression full of contempt.
