Linda didn't hide anything, confessing to her openly, "I want to know everything. The more I understand him, the less likely I'll upset him."

Nina asked again, "So, you think if you understand him well, don't upset him, and make him satisfied with everything, he'll like you more?"

Linda blushed in embarrassment. "Is it that obvious to you? Does Mr. York also notice that I might have a bit of a crush on him?"
