Daniel was unwilling to let Gwen be embarrassed in front of so many people within the organization, which put Linus in a very dangerous position.
Looking troubled, Daniel said, “Linus, I don’t want to force you into anything, but Gwennie has been set on you for many years. I can’t bear to see her like this. Can’t you just… play along? Gwennie is a stubborn girl, and I’m afraid she might do something stupid.”
Linus remained silent, pressing his tongue against the top of his mouth.
He did not want to agree to what Daniel was proposing.
If Daniel were to assign him a dangerous mission right this instant where he could potentially lose his life, Linus would not hesitate for even a second. However, on this matter, he would not relent.
“Linus, consider it… Perhaps you could…”
“Mr. Zimmer, I believe Gwen will find the right person for her. I can't agree to this.”
If he was going to refuse anyway, he might as well be decisive about it. Being hesitant would not teach Gwen to let go. For his and Gwen’s sake, it was better to rip the bandage off quickly.
Daniel was stunned by Linus’s firm rejection. He did not expect Linus to refuse even when he personally intervened.
“Never mind… I knew that it'd be impossible even if I talked to you myself. I know how stubborn you are. Once you’ve made up your mind about something, you’ll never turn back.”
“Mr. Zimmer, I’m truly sorry, but I really…” Linus lowered his head. The emotions on his face were hard to read. He continued, “I really can’t do this. I can’t lie to Gwen, or she’ll only be more heartbroken.”
“You’re right.” Daniel loosened his grip and leaned back on the couch. He said, “Since you find it too difficult, I won’t force you. I’ll talk to Gwen myself.”
“Thank you…”
“No need to thank me, Linus. Go on now. It’s the celebration banquet today. Get some rest and recharge yourself.”
