Chapter 148

---- Chapter 148 Giselle stepped into the shooting range, saw the wide array of firearms, and beamed. "I didn't expect you to bring me somewhere like this." Gideon explained that the outdoor shooting range was one of his own businesses. She was even more surprised to learn that he had trained in the special forces and was incredibly skilled with firearms and ammunition.

His love for all things military and his solid government connections led him to invest in setting up this shooting range where real guns were used. Just then, she spotted two familiar faces. It was Vivienne and Sebastian. "'No way, you're here as well? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Vivienne greeted Giselle with a smile as she walked over. When she noticed Gideon, who was standing next to her, she realized what was going on. Sebastian seemed equally surprised to see Giselle.

"When did you meet this woman, Gideon?" he asked quietly. Gideon shot daggers at him. "Watch your mouth! Quit calling her 'this woman' or 'that woman.'" Sebastian, who was still unaware of what was going on between them, cleared his throat. "I was just about to ---- introduce you to this starlet I met. She's only 19, fresh as can be-" "Shut up!" Gideon thought this bastard was deliberately trying to ruin his image. He gave Sebastian a murderous glare.

"Tf you don't have anything good to say, then zip it!" Sebastian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. Vivienne promptly dragged him off to take some pictures of her. Giselle, on the other hand, was far more interested in the firearms. She toyed with the gun with noticeable interest. "Have you ever handled one before?" Gideon inquired. "Thave, but I'm not very familiar with them." Back when she was studying abroad, she had practiced target shooting with her friends there.

However, she wasn't very skilled. After returning to the country, she never got the chance to practice again. Gideon picked up a semi-automatic pistol, as if he was warming up before a workout. He expertly loaded and chambered it before holding it with one hand, pointing at the target across the range. He barely aimed before firing four or five shots in quick succession , each one hitting the bullseye. Everything was done seamlessly, and his form was sharp and controlled .

Even though it seemed like he was showing off a bit, she couldn't help but be impressed. ---- Giselle hadn't expected him to be so skilled with a gun. His marksmanship was on a completely different level compared to the hobbyists who just came here to have fun. "Come on, I'll teach you. It's pretty simple." Gideon eagerly taught her how to use a gun. He showed her how to load, hold, and stand with the gun. Then, he personally helped her practice each step.

Initially, he only touched her hand lightly. However, once they moved on to aiming, he closed in on her and pulled her into his embrace. Gently covering her fair, delicate hand with his own, he helped steer the gun's direction. Holding the gun, she focused on hitting the bullseye. Giselle was solely concerned about getting her stance right; she didn't pay much attention to how close Gideon was. She let him stay right beside her until he helped her pull the trigger.
