Bruce lazily wiped his mouth. "Ms. Fisher, you're too kind. After last night's party, everyone in the industry knows that Stack is fancying a new software engineer called Nancy.
"And as a mere investor, I wouldn't dare to give you any orders."
His tone was calm, yet he was mocking me with every word.
I politely smiled. "Thank you. However, none of them provide investments like you do. Don't worry. Roeval Group will always be our benefactor." I also knew how to exchange formalities.
Bruce didn't seem to expect that I could respond to him. With a snort, he replied, "However, you're all talk."
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I'm talking about." Bruce said, his dark eyes carrying a questioning look.
So, I decided to go straight to the point and seriously said, "We never thought of brushing you and Ms. Lane off. However, it's not appropriate to simply change the character image and profile."
Bruce looked up and answered, "So, it's suitable for you to change the image of the finance major male protagonist?"
I had nothing to say about that.
Indeed, I had created the character with personal grudges. However, I wouldn't tell him that.
Plus, this wasn't a problem to deal with considering how far we were with the game development.
Caroline also seemed to notice Bruce's displeasure and explained, "You're such a big-hearted person. I'm sure you don't think that we created the character based on you, right?"
Bruce stared at me and replied, "Ms. Fisher, you seem to not like this character."
Alarm bells rang in my heart. "Do… I?"
"The protagonist is still unwilling to give up even though it has been years. Do you think you'll do the same?"
Once again, I was caught off guard.
The answer was glaringly obvious from Bruce's perspective, and I couldn't help but feel that Bruce was just settling the score with me.
Then, Bruce continued to attack me and said, "This setting is way too unrealistic. Nobody would wait for a person for so long."
He was making it quite serious.
Cindy only wanted to change the game's image, but Bruce thought that the character was too far-fetched.
