Hesitant

Raymond felt hesitant to say anything now that Jason had left. He would have to avoid her at all costs if he wanted to be a part of the team's success. She had a way of encouraging him to work harder or think of new ways to develop the firm. Though he had contemplated leaving, there was something amiss about the circumstances at hand at the moment. As a result of his experience with Sia, he was reluctant to approach women at bars. When he arrived home, he was able to focus on both his professional and personal life. Isn't there more to life than chasing after women and money? In his heart of hearts, he was aware that he had no right to even think about her. She was too young and innocent for him, despite her sweetness and innocence. Although he was having second thoughts about the situation, because of his age and life experience, he wouldn't break her down.
