Rick opened his mouth-

"They don't understand you or me. Why should we care about them?"

"That's because this will affect the stock price and cause the company to lose profits. They will think that you're a fool and won't believe in your products," Charlotte explained.

"I can abandon the company."

Instinctively, Charlotte touched the metal bracelet on her wrist.

Rick leaned forward slightly and looked at her with a very serious expression. "I can give up everything I have for you. It doesn't matter if everyone laughs at me as long as you are willing to be with me. They don't understand the kind of courage it would take."

"Rick..."

"Don't feel pressured. As I said before, I will tell you what I think, but what you choose is your business."

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes. "I thought that as long as I did what I should and did my best to consider your standpoint, it would be enough to repay you, but..."

In the face of his desperate love.

Everything she did was in vain.

As long as she didn't love him, she would always owe him.

Unfortunately, she still did not love him.

"You don't need to repay me. You know very well that I have my pride. If you force yourself to stay by my side as my woman, it would only make me sadder. We can keep going like this and let fate decide." Rick said as he stood up.

Charlotte suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Rick stopped and tilted his head to one side to look at her.

She bit her lip with a blank look in her eyes. It seemed that she didn't know whether she had made the right decision or not.

He took her hand off his sleeve with a light smile, leaned over, and rubbed her hair. "I'm confident, so you don't have to force yourself."

"I'll go back with you. I still have work to do."

"You haven't eaten anything yet."

"I'm not hungry."

"I'll stay with you first while you eat."

Charlotte nodded her head subconsciously.
