Chapter 57
GROUP CHAT
West
Please give us an update on how the happy couple is doing.
Alex
I want to know if you’re still kissing like you did in the kitchen, “hating” one another.
Rafe
If you want gossip, don’t come to me.
Alex
It’s not called gossip when it’s coming directly from the source.
James
Have you fallen in love with your wife yet?
West
Very blunt. Excellent work.
James
Unlike Alex, for example, I don’t have time to answer in a group chat all day long.
Alex
Offensive. Not wrong. But still, offensive.
Rafe
It’s complicated. I think that’s the best I can say.
West
Ah. I recognize that.
Alex
Please translate for the others, then.
West
Basically, he’s falling for her but doesn’t want to admit it to himself yet.
Or to her. She probably still carries lingering resentment about the marriage and the company.
Her uncle is complicating things, clearly, like we saw in Monaco.
All of it is more emotion than Rafe has had to navigate for years. Was that correct?
Rafe
Yes. Pretty much. She’s driving me insane, but I think I like it.
James
Damn.
Alex
Good luck, man.
