Juliet's suggestion seemed absurd but understandable.

Moira appreciated her good intentions but wanted more.

Although it was generally easier for girls to pursue guys, there were exceptions.

Moreover, she had initially coerced Barclay into marrying her by leveraging the car accident threat, forcing him into the arrangement, and now they were in a business partnership, but she had other thoughts.

If Barclay knew she had feelings for him, would he consider her despicable?

She didn't want him to see her that way!

Even if she wanted to pursue him, she should at least wait until the contract ended.

Moira made a decision to put all her thoughts aside.

Rose came to call her for lunch, and Moira felt embarrassed. She hadn't realized she had spent the whole morning, over three hours, doing nothing but thinking about Barclay. Feelings for boys really did affect her progress in her career!

After lunch, Moira decided not to take a nap and went straight to the piano room to practice the piano all afternoon.

When Barclay returned, she was sitting on the couch massaging her sore fingers just like yesterday.

Unlike yesterday, today's Barclay didn't come back early, there was no heavy rain outside, and she couldn't calmly watch him come in like she did yesterday.

Moira listened to her increasingly rapid heartbeat, feeling extremely guilty, and her finger massaging became more intense.
