"But if you do this, it will seriously violate my private time. I don't like it, and I don't intend to accept it." What Beryl hated most was him looking down on others and being self-righteous. "Maybe for you, Mr. Perkins, money, beauty, power, and status are all available. But my life has just begun. I need to work hard and have no time to waste. Your love and pursuit are not out of love for me but just a little seasoning in a boring life. So, I hope you can be magnanimous and stop torturing me with the excuse of pursuing me. If you want to play, there are many people who want to accompany you. I really can't afford it."
Beryl said these words from the bottom of her heart. During this period of time, under the attack of Marcellus, she felt nervous every day, as if she were treading on thin ice. Marcellus had not done anything excessive, but she felt inexplicably afraid as if she had formed a psychological shadow. As soon as she saw him, she subconsciously panicked.
Perhaps it was because their encounter was very strange. Beryl could not relax her guard against him at all.
The night wind that blew past his ears made every word she said sound like a hammer hitting Marcellus's heart.
Seasoning?
Torture?
Play?
Although he had never imagined how she would think of him, it was the first time in more than 30 years that he had taken the initiative to pursue a girl. Marcellus felt that it should not be too bad. It was only a matter of time before she accepted him.
But now, it seemed that he had overestimated himself.
In the heart of the girl in front of him, he might be like a beast who persecuted a girl in the prime of her life in a legal program.
Marcellus had never asked why he was chasing after her. He was probably waiting to watch a good show.
But why did he feel so uncomfortable when she said that?
It was like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of his head, extinguishing all his enthusiasm, leaving only a little bit of white smoke.
