Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 4561

Old Mr. Lafond didn't press Romina. He gave her time to think.

After a long silence, Romina finally spoke.

"Grandpa, I admit River is a good man-someone any woman could trust her future with- but he's not the right one for me. Our families run businesses in the same industry. We're competitors. If he were just an employee, sure, I'd try to recruit him and make him one of us. Then maybe we'd have a chance. But he's not. He's the boss of Yantail.

Yantail survived and thrived under his leadership. He's emotionally invested. There's no way he'd walk away from that. And since we're rivals-deadlocked competitors—even if we admire each other a little, we could never be husband and wife. If we did get married, we'd never fully trust each other. We'd always be worried about company secrets getting leaked.

It'd get to the point where we wouldn't even sleep in the same room. We'd be terrified that one of us would talk in our sleep and accidentally give something away. Grandpa, don't overthink it. River and I aren't possible."
