"Don't be so guarded around me, will you? I'm not a venomous creature. What harm could I possibly do?" Lane sounded very hurt.

He was genuinely trying to pursue a romantic relationship with this lady.

"I know you won't hurt me."

But he sure could make things difficult for her.

"Didn’t we make a deal? I chase, and you just give me a chance. That means I should at least be able to show myself off a bit, right?" Lane was also feeling a bit frustrated with her attitude.

Even if he was not the best, he didn't think he was appalling enough to be despised by a lady to this extent.

"I just don't want to hold you back."

"No worries, you won't."

Lane hung up immediately after saying that. He was afraid she might say something else to infuriate him.

Being a leader herself, she didn't dive straight into business discussions with her assistants but instead took them to a local diner.

"This is so delicious! I've been to Havenbrook City before but never knew they had such amazing food." Her assistant, Natalia, praised the food enthusiastically after taking a bite.

"If it's good, eat up." Dorothy chuckled and pushed the dish closer to her.
