Quadrilateral

Whatever Hugo had in mind was not part of Lily's plan. She had planned to use Hugo as decoration in this love triangle. After all, Max and Hugo had been competing for years, and even now, there was always tension between them. 

In her mind, if Max found out that Ginnie had been in love with Hugo, it would hit his ego enough to make him pursue her. Max was the type to let go of things, even if it hurt. He had given up basketball and found joy in owning a team instead. She didn't want him to suppress his feelings until they faded away—she wanted to push him into action. 

But Hugo? He somehow thought Max had feelings for him. Where had he even gotten that idea? 

"Are you talking about me?" Max frowned at the group, having had just enough drinks to stay composed. Unlike them, who were obviously drunk, he could still take himself home. 

"Uh, no!" Lily perked up, flashing him a smile. "We were just talking about something else! That's all!"
