“Miss Foster—” Sean stared calmly at the elevator further ahead from them. At that moment, the elevator doors had just closed and a complex emotion flashed through his eyes. However, it happened in the blink of an eye; it was so quick that even Elsie did not notice it. He swiftly returned to his cold and distant self. “Remember what I told you.”

I am exasperated that she gave up on the development project to avoid me; next, I wanted her to beg me in person. Wanting her to beg me is just an excuse because I simply wanted to see her.
