Chapter 43 Whether I accept him or not, I'm probably just someone by his side...
My mind went blank for a moment, and I couldn't believe what I had just heard. "W-what did you say?"
"Wasn't I clear enough? Let me say it again..."
“No,” I interrupted sharply, rushing toward the door, “Don’t say another word.”
He burst into laughter behind me.
I rushed back to my bedroom, slammed the door shut, and felt my face burning hot.
Impossible, how could it be?
How could he say such a thing to me? A man like him would never fall in love with anyone. He only loves himself, or men and women who are better than him, but he would never fall in love with me.
How could that be? How could that be?
I pinched my face repeatedly, pinching it hard until I grimaced in pain before I stopped.
How could such a good thing possibly fall into my lap?
I was heartbroken, and I preferred to believe that this was all a conspiracy.
He banged on the door. "Are you in there?"
"No, not here..." Suddenly realizing what he had said, God, I want to die.
I pressed myself against the door, breathing heavily.
His sexy, slightly magnetic voice seemed to come from another dimension: "Are you willing to accept me or not?"
This has stumped me; it's even harder than Socrates' philosophy.
Whether you accept it or not, it means an unknowable future.
"No." I finally managed to utter that one word.
I'm afraid of getting hurt, so I'd rather not start.
“Okay, I won’t force you.” His voice was unusually calm.
That night I couldn't look at the documents anymore. I tossed and turned in bed with the lord all night, unable to fall asleep.
I simply cannot believe that any of this has ever happened.
That's so, so, so melodramatic! How could that be?
The next morning, I went to find him. He was having breakfast in the restaurant. There were an unusually large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables; usually, it was all meat.
I swallowed hard and, when I was three steps away from him, said, "I think you might have misunderstood?"
"Oh?" The morning snow light illuminated his crystal-clear eyes, revealing beautiful shimmering light.
"You've mistaken the emotions of the character you're playing for your feelings for me."
"Is that so?" His smile was like a dazzling rose, brightening the dimly lit room as it bloomed.
"Yes," I answered honestly.
He smiled and said, "I need to think carefully about whether what you said is right or not."
I was a little annoyed; why did he sound like he was coaxing a child?
But I'm an adult, so I didn't show my dissatisfaction.
He pushed aside his plate and walked up to me. He was much taller than me, but I didn't feel that he was superior to me.
Because his eyes were so captivating, they could steal a person's heart.
I didn't want to look, I dared not look, I didn't want to look, yet I couldn't help but look at him.
Am I a hopeless romantic? I'm so frustrated I could cry.
"My button is loose," he suddenly said.
He meant he wanted me to help him button his shirt.
I dare not.
I'm afraid of getting too close to him, of hearing his breathing, of listening to him speak, of the fact that yesterday's persistence will collapse.
Why did you do this to me? I'm just an ordinary girl, I can't stand a man like this.
"I don't know how, you should find someone else."
It took me all my willpower to say those words, and then I left the restaurant without looking back.
If I don't leave soon, I'm afraid I'll pounce on him and let myself succumb to his charms.
In the distance, the clanging sound of cups, plates, and bowls falling to the ground could be heard.
He actually overturned everything on the table onto the floor.
