Love's Perfect Match

Elspeth had never seen Jethro looking so lost before, so she couldn't help feeling incredibly guilty. But, at the same time, she was also aware that she could not allow him to overthink the issue.

"Of course not. You are an employee at my company. So, if something were to happen, it would also be on my head."

It was the perfect answer—professional and polite. There was absolutely nothing wrong with her response. Naturally, Jethro could not find the answer he desired either.

"Is that all?"

She snorted at his inquiry. Although her voice was unchanged, her attitude became cold and indifferent. "Didn't I make myself clear enough just now? I will not fall in love with you, so you should give up on that hope as soon as possible."

Jethro was so drunk that he could barely stand straight. As a result, he staggered unsteadily as he leaned against the door frame. A trace of sorrow entered his voice as he lamented, "I know it's impossible for you to fall in love with me, but I wanted to try anyway."

"Why would you want to do something so futile?"

She simply could not understand him. An ordinary person would have seriously reflected on whether their behavior was worth the effort after being rejected by the same person repeatedly. Even if they wanted to persist in their actions, they generally gave up due to the previous rejections.

Yet, he wasn't anything like that. Instead, he seemed to believe that he would have a chance as long as he could break through all the obstacles standing before him.

"I don't know, but I really like you. I have liked you for so many years."

"Have you ever thought that your feelings for me might not be what you consider love?"

Jethro gave her a sad look, and then he smiled. "Even if you don't have feelings for me, you shouldn't say things like that to hurt my feelings."

Those words were too hurtful. They practically negated all his efforts right at the source.

"Alright. I won't say anything to hurt you again."

Then, Elspeth turned around to return to her room so that she could change into something more presentable and send him home. Contrary to her expectations, she had just placed one foot in her house when the drunken man took it as an invitation to follow into the house. Moreover, he immediately collapsed on the couch as soon as he entered her home.
