Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdler found himself locked out by Jenna, just as Sophie emerged from her bedroom to witness the scene.
Noticing Adler's flushed face and reddening ears, Sophie couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Adler, have you been drinking again?" 66 39 Feeling utterly defeated, Adler might as well have been waving a white flag. "Why is it that in those romance , when the powerful CEO makes a heartfelt declaration, the heroine looks at him with love and affection, but mine responds with her fists?" "Maybe... it's all in the approach," Sophie suggested thoughtfully.
"Mr. Adler, I think what you need is a proper declaration of love." "A declaration of love? I've made countless declarations since we were kids! She always thinks I'm joking. What am I supposed to do about that?" "I'm talking about a serious declaration of love!" Sophie insisted. "You're usually so nonchalant. How can any girl take you seriously?

"Jenna, if you want to know who you really like there's a simple way," Sophie suggested. "Just close your eyes, and the first person who comes to mind will be the one you truly care for." "Is that for real? Sounds like something you'd tell a kid." "Why don't you give it a try?" Following Sophie's advice, Jenna closed her eyes, only to frown. "Nothing. It's just darkness. No one's there." "Ask yourself who you truly care for." 66 33

has always been there for you when you needed help. How could anyone just happen to be there every single tunless they're always keeping an exe out for you? You've been so close to him all this tthat you've failed to notice. Adler has always been by your side, watching over you. You've grown so accustomed to his presence that if another woman were to appear by Adler's side one day, would you still be able to stay calm?" Another woman?
