Playing Hard to Get, Retreat as Advance
The solemn atmosphere weighed heavily on Max, leaving him breathless. He inwardly sighed; it seemed that even the wisest and most composed men couldn't escape the calculations that love entailed.
Taking a cautious breath, he tentatively spoke, “Sir, I heard that the Louise Family is preparing for their anniversary celebration, and Miss. Shannon is coincidentally on the guest list. Should we...”
“No need.” Tristan understood Max's implication. “Keep an eye on things and ensure she isn't bothered.”
“...Huh?” Max exclaimed in disbelief.
His boss had quite a large heart! Despite knowing that the person from the Louise Family was Miss Cynthia Shannon's former fiancé, he was still allowing her to be.
Reflecting on how current partners treated their past relationships, they were usually considered archenemies.
Was his boss playing hard to get, using retreat as a form of advance?
