The writers don’t know his story either. The official line is that it started out about business, but now he wants her. The have sexual chemistry, but I don’t get emotional affection vibes from them. He wants to possess her. She wants someone to help her forget she was half in love with Jake and totally in love with Stefan.The stuff about Li made me realize I'm not sure what his story even is. I admit I always sort of thought that he wanted to be with Gabi for business reasons. I don't feel like they ever really pushed a love story there. They never made much clear about these two except that it's part of a bigger story.
