Hearing that, Gwenda's eyebrow twitched as she thought,
"This man is really conceited. He's just so sure that I would like him?"
"But I don't like you at all now."
Gwenda said mercilessly.
She could not deny that she had some feelings for Olivier. But since she just got out of a terrible relationship, she did not want to jump straight into another one.
Even if it was the attractive Olivier Petit.
"It's fine, I will give you time."
Surprisingly, Olivier did not get angry. He simply answered the question according to his own desires.
Gwenda felt like whatever she said was futile and a heavy sense of helplessness washed over her.
She said tiredly, "Well, what if nothing comes out of us trying to get to know each other better? You should know that love cannot be forced."
"So, you think that getting to know me better is a difficult thing?"
Olivier's gleaming eyes were fixed on her.
Gwenda was instantly speechless.
After thinking it over, she said tactfully, "I wouldn't put it that way. It's just..."
"Then it's enough."
"What is?"
"As long as it's of your own volition, then it's fine with me. Wooing you is a choice that I made. Whether or not you accept it is up to you. Don't worry about anything else."
Olivier spoke with sincerity.
But Gwenda still felt that something was amiss.
Did their conversation just end up going in circles?
After a moment's thought, Gwenda said, "Then, Mr. Petit..."
"Do you truly hate the idea of being with me so much?"
Olivier interrupted her and gazed deeply into her eyes, his own showing a hint of hurt.
Under his gaze, a sudden wave of guilt washed over Gwenda. She awkwardly rubbed her nose and said, "I just think that people of the opposite gender living together in a shared space is not a good idea. Besides, I can't let you ruin my reputation."
Hearing that, Olivier burst out laughing. "You think too much!"
