The Love Triangle Chapter 192
The mention of dinner made Daniel nearly lose it. He glanced at the pile of paperwork on his desk. Were they not swamped with work for the day, with no time for breaks?Daniel had been cracking the whip, getting everyone to pull together the reports, all set for a night of overtime.Then, the boss decided to call it quits at seven. Where was the fairness in that?Trevon's brow creased just a bit. "If you're up for overtime, I won't stop you."To Trevon, it was just a matter of finding another driver.Daniel masked his irritation. "Mr. Gibson, any preference for where we eat? I'll book us a spot."Trevon fiddled with his tie, which felt like a noose. "Madeline, fix this for me, will you?"Madeline, mid-rant to Yeneth on her phone, got up with a huff. "Why bother with a tie after hours?"Trevon quirked an eyebrow. "Then, help me get it off. Dinner's on me."That was what saved him from a Madeline-style execution.Daniel chimed in quickly, "Mrs. Gibson, what are you in the mood

"Did York take it well?" Madeline inquired.Yeneth could not help but smirk as she showed Madeline the text from York.[You're breaking up with me because I asked you to look after my grandfather? That's who you are? Alright, then. Enough drama, just get to the hospital and help my mom after work.][Yeneth, what's this? Are we really done?][Done is done. Let me tell you, living together is no different from a second marriage in my book. Don't even think about coming back to me!][Mom says if you can't be bothered to help, then at least cough up some cash. Pay for my grandfather's medical bills, and all is forgiven. You'll still have a shot with the Lawsons.]Madeline looked confused. "Are the Lawsons loaded or something?"Yeneth just scoffed.They had been close to tying the knot, so of course, she had been to York's place.The Lawsons were just a typical family out in the sticks. The only thing they had going for them was that York had made it to college.Madeline wondered

Madeline was too slow to stop him.She was not serious about following the streamer. It was all for a laugh, to lighten Yeneth's mood.However, Trevon had overreacted."Hand it over," Madeline demanded.Trevon gave her a look. "So you can spend my money on tips? Do I look like a sucker?"Madeline was taken aback. "Your money? That's mine," she shot back.Trevon scoffed and turned to Yeneth. "You waste time on this at work?"He called out to Daniel. "Daniel, tell Camden to crack down on discipline at Skylandia. No more phones on the clock. About that overtime schedule he mentioned? I'm on board."Yeneth and Madeline were speechless as they exchanged looks. Yeneth looked desperately at Madeline, silently pleading for her to intervene.However, before Madeline could say a word, Trevon cut in. "Thinking of joining the Skylandia project?"Madeline bit her lip and stayed quiet.All the way to the Luxuria Supper House, Yeneth begged Trevon to reconsider his decision. However, Trevo

"Trevon, try a shrimp."Lydia, noticing Trevon's gaze fixed on Madeline, interrupted with a hint of annoyance to snap him out of his reverie.Trevon gave the shrimp a cursory glance, his frown barely noticeable.It hit him that Lydia really did not get him.They had been together for over two years, and even though they were not always side by side, they had shared plenty of meals. However, Lydia still had not picked up on the fact that he was not into shrimp.It was not that he did not like them—he just could not be bothered to peel them.However, Madeline always knew to peel the shrimp and pass them to him, ready to eat. She had an uncanny knack for nailing his likes and dislikes, never missing a beat.How had he never picked up on that before?Lydia's shoulders drooped in a silent show of defeat. Sadly for her, no one around the table seemed to notice.Riley, the only one who would have cared, was too busy doting on Sadie."Dad and Mom are still globetrotting, and they'll

Trevon's frown deepened as he declined. "Art isn't my thing. You Fergusons are the experts here."Was that not the truth?Even Stephen thought it was pointless to drag Trevon into that.However, Riley would not drop it, constantly nudging the topic back to Trevon.The room was a mix of reactions.Trevon looked like he was about to lose his cool, but he kept his composure for the sake of manners.Lydia's face was a storm of emotions. She had hoped that her pregnancy would soften Riley's view of her, and it did, but only for a day.With Sadie around, did Riley even remember Lydia was carrying her grandchild?Madeline, seemingly detached, helped herself to another serving of rice.Trevon was speechless as he thought, 'Since when was she such a hearty eater?'Lydia's complexion shifted out of nowhere, and despite her best efforts to hold back, she let out a sharp yelp."Ah!"Trevon frowned."What's the matter?"Lydia shot him a look, her eyes brimming with unspoken torment. "It

Sadie clung to Stephen's hand and pleaded, "Stephen, you've got it all wrong. I wasn't... It's just that Mrs. Yagle, well, there's something about her. Come on, Trevon's taken. Why would I want to marry him?"She gritted her teeth in denial, her voice a mix of defiance and charm. "I'm not crazy enough to sell myself short."Stephen's stern look softened, and he playfully flicked her forehead. "For a second there, I thought you'd lost your head over Trevon.""As if! You're way hotter than Trevon!"Stephen was not swayed by her sweet talk. He warned her again, "Keep your distance from Trevon. Grandpa and the others have plans for your future, and you're not to mess things up, got it?"Sadie made a face but nodded in agreement.Seeing Stephen relax a bit, she ventured a quieter question. "So, why are you so chummy with Madeline, huh?"Stephen's face took on a thoughtful cast. He remembered asking Caleb after the auction if he had really stopped bidding on that painting just to let

Yeneth's face brightened at the suggestion.The house was not close to the office, but with the subway nearby, it was a breeze to commute. She had been swamped and did not have time to house-hunt, so it was a lucky break."I'll cover the rent," Yeneth insisted.Madeline dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. "Don't worry about it. I might need to bunk there myself someday. Did you get all your stuff out, though?"Yeneth grimaced. "Not exactly."She had dashed out with just the bare essentials.Madeline's expression turned thoughtful. She wondered if Yeneth had left things behind because she was too busy or if she was holding out hope of patching things up with York.However, best friends were supposed to push her to move on, right?"Perfect timing. Our friend here can help us move your stuff tonight!"Yeneth blinked in surprise. "Tonight?""You're not seriously considering getting back together, are you?" Madeline asked, skeptical."Of course not! I just didn't want to

As soon as Carmen heard the call to the police, she leaped forward."What are you playing at, you little troublemaker? You know filing a false report can land you in jail, right?"Madeline smirked, eyebrow cocked. "Well, look at you, not as clueless as I thought. Do you have any idea how long they lock you up for stealing a coat?""Stealing? Please! This is my son's place. You're the real thieves here!"Madeline waved her phone. "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it. The police will sort it out when they get here. This outfit cost three thousand six hundred dollars. That's considered grand theft, which is enough to land you in jail for three years!"Carmen was so shocked by the mention of 3,600 dollars that she lunged at Yeneth with a furious howl."You waste space! Is this your idea of spending money? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!" Carmen yelled.Caleb quickly stepped in front of her. "Lady, please behave yourself!"With a venomous spit, Carmen collapsed ont
