Chasing His Kickass Luna Back
Chapter 0350

I shake my head, incredulous. “You don't understand, Ethan. Gianna can't be trusted. She has a history of manipulation and deceit. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're dating her, let alone hiring her to handle your campaign.”

Ethan's expression tightens, and he shoots back, “Karl, that's just your personal bias talking. Gianna didn't do anything wrong, and I won't let you hold grudges against her. Her emails were tampered with, and we've cleared that up.”

His words make me groan. I've already tried to make him realize the truth multiple times, but he's just not seeing it. In his eyes, Gianna did nothing wrong, andI'mthe one who's causing trouble. “Ethan, you know how I feel about her,” I say with a sigh. “I thought I could look past the fact that you two are together because I just want my brother to be happy, but... Ethan, she’s a cheat and a liar. You don’t want her managing your campaign. And frankly, I don't want her involved.”

Ethan's eyes narrow, and he leans in closer. “Karl, I won't tolerate hate speech against Gianna. She's going to be a part of this campaign whether you like it or not, and I expect you to treat her with respect.”

I lean back in my chair, frustrated beyond belief. It's clear that Ethan won't budge on this issue, and arguing further will only strain our relationship.

“Fine,” I mutter under my breath. “Call her in, then.”

A moment later, Gianna is standing in front of my desk, and I feel as though I'll scream. But I manage to keep my cool for the sake of not only my campaign but also my brother, and instead focus my frayed nerves on the election.

"Hello, Gianna,” I say, leaning back in my chair. “So you're going to be Ethan's campaign manager.” She nods, her snakelike eyes fixed on me as she stands beside my brother's chair. She's got her hand on his shoulder, and I want nothing more than to swat it away and tell her to get the hell away from him.

I know what she did, too; she lied to Ethan the whole time he was in that coma. She took advantage of his situation and whispered deceit into his ear. And by the time he woke up, he was already head over heels. There's no possible way to make him see logic now.

When someone is in love, making them see the truth is like teaching a fish how to fly.

But for a moment, I think to myself that this could be a good thing; this could give me the edge I need in this election. My brother just woke up from a coma, and he’s already dating the woman who essentially committed an act of treason against my wife.

I have the proof, and no matter how much it hurts, I think I might just use it if need be.

"So, Gianna,” I say, "I didn't know you had experience running campaigns.”

She looks at Ethan, then back at me. “I believe my cumulative experience in other fields will allow me to be the best campaign manager your brother deserves,” she says, her thin lips stretching into an even thinner smile.

I'm about to say something when Gianna's phone suddenly rings, breaking the silence. She pulls it out of her pocket and furrows her brow, then quickly excuses herself. Ethan and I watch her go before he turns back to me.

“Look, Karl,” he says, lowering his voice. “I know you two have a rocky history. But you have to trust my judgment, too. And I not only chose Gianna as my campaign manager, but also my girlfriend, for a good reason.”

My eyes narrow. I want to tell him that he's a fool, and that it's hurtful that he refuses to trustmyjudgment, but what's the point?

And before I can say anything anyway, Gianna returns. Only now, her face has shifted from a mask of coldness to pure fire.

"Are you serious, Karl?!" she practically screeches, waving her phone in the air. “Abby thinks I sabotaged her restaurant?!”
