During this period, Adrian's personal life had not become complicated like his work; he still had well-organized dates with his women. However, there were small changes, like Gwyneth officially entering his schedule—which posed no challenge for Charlize, who skillfully managed everything to avoid any conflicts.
While in Canada, Adrian had flirted with her on horseback and even experimented with passion in the storeroom, but once back in Los Angeles, Gwyneth became conservative. No matter how she played with Adrian, dining, shopping, clubbing, visiting bars, attending parties, as long as it was outside the apartment, she would start to resist and then look at him with pleading eyes.
With Adrian's observational skills, he could naturally tell whether her behavior was pretense or heartfelt, so after a few times, he would stop before she showed any resistance and then go home with her. Gwyneth was very grateful for this.
