Did Axel actually deny dating Cherry? It wasn't very clear when Lena confronted him in front of the club.

While this would be interesting, I personally prefer if Gillian is actually Mike's girlfriend all this time.

Giving her a sweet taste of karma if Lena fucks Mike would be satisfying.
I think that is what is most likely, I can see it a mile away how mike describes his GF.

However I don't see how jeremy could not know the bro he is working with is seeing Ian's ex, I got the feeling they are casual friends (jeremy and mike).

Well, it's possible that Jeremy knows Mike has a girlfriend but doesn't know who exactly she is. I don't see Mike as someone who flaunts his girl around, unlike Jeremy.

Not clearly, no. But why not tell her at this point.
His reply depends on your disposition towards him. With highest disposition (where he told Lena he is seeing someone):
x "What's the reason you're getting so aggressive all of a sudden? I thought we both turned that page already."
x "I don't understand what's the problem. I'm free to hang out with whoever I want, same as you... Right?"


With lowest disposition he replies:
x "We were just hanging out, already on our way home. I wasn't expecting to cross paths with you tonight, Lena..."
x "I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that..."

Those don't sound like him denying seeing Cherry again, honestly.

Hmm, "I know what you're thinking, but it's not like that..." sounds pretty much like a denial to me. But yeah, he only says this if Lena didn't have sex with him. I still think Ivy would be much more interesting, though.

Because Axel is manipulating Lena, and it has much more impact to see Axel with Cherry, and leave Lena guessing.
But to what end is he manipulating her? If he wants to make her jealous so she comes back to him, Cherry is a horrible choice. She will only remind her of his betrayal. Cindy would be a much better choice. Also how did that work? Was he out there for hours with Cherry in tow waiting for Lena to step out? No, I think that was a genuine accidental meeting.

I think Cherry works precisely because this relationship pushes all Lena's buttons and dredges up all strong feelings. It does excellent work making Lena unable to control herself, as we've already witnessed. Cindy in contrast is someone Lena barely knows and cares even less about, it's just "some Ian's friend who was kinda pushy and wants to be a model? idk".

It's worth to keep on mind that Axel and Cherry getting together is a very recent development. When Cherry talks about her situation with Ian earlier, she makes it pretty clear that while she was hoping Axel would become her boyfriend after he and Lena broke up, it never actually happened. If you follow the storyline which has Lena still harbor feelings for Axel, he gets in relationship with Cherry (or starts seeing her, as he put it) after he fucks Lena. Am pretty sure this is deliberate move on his part, Axel isn't a complete idiot and realizes pretty well how Lena would feel about it.

Also how did that work? Was he out there for hours with Cherry in tow waiting for Lena to step out? No, I think that was a genuine accidental meeting.
I don't think Axel was there waiting for Lena specifically. He's just going to the club with Cherry. He knows Ivy works there and would no doubt mention to Lena seeing him and Cherry together.

Allegedly got in a relationship with Cherry.

You mean like she told Lena about Ian effing Cindy in that alley more than a month ago? :cool:

Axel tells Lena explicitly he's now seeing someone, during the phone call that has him claim he's "got closure and moved on". If the statement comes straight from the horse's mouth i think it can be given some credit. At worst (best?) Axel is lying about being in relationship with Cherry. From Lena's viewpoint it's not much of a difference as long as she doesn't know it's a lie.

Let's not forget all Ivy saw was Ian and Cindy in an alley, flustered after probably doing something. Ivy apparently doesn't necessarily stir shit up just for the sake of it. But she's far more familiar with both Axel and Cherry, and with how Lena is potentially agonizing over her situation with Axel. So she might be more inclined to mention to Lena something concerning her ex-bf she actually saw clearly.

Axel can't guarantee Ivy will tell Lena about seeing him and Cherry together, but he isn't exactly risking anything by giving it a try.

Nothing is forced in this game. Everything depends on the decisions of the player. You can have any LI you want for yourself. But not all at once. And you can't expect those you decide against to live like nuns either. Like in real life.
Cherry unavoidably getting back to Axel even after potentially opening love route with Ian is kind of bordering on stuff that might irk some people.

Let's wait. The game is not finished yet. At the end we'll get her for ourselves :p

Yeah, am not too fussed personally, it's likely going to be addressed sooner or later. Maybe it'll also be part of that Ep.10 extension for this matter (though probably not, since Ep.10 ends on Lena's side)

Oh, it's just a joke I make about NTRphobes who can find it everywhere.
"Lena smiled at a customer! That's NTR!!!!"
