Rick opened his mouth—
"They don't understand you or me. Why should we care about them?"
"That's because this will affect the stock price and cause the company to lose profits. They will think that you're a fool and won't believe in your products," Charlotte explained.
"I can abandon the company."
Instinctively, Charlotte touched the metal bracelet on her wrist.
Rick leaned forward slightly and looked at her with a very serious expression. "I can give up everything I have for you. It doesn't matter if everyone laughs at me as long as you are willing to be with me. They don't understand the kind of courage it would take."
"Rick..."
"Don't feel pressured. As I said before, I will tell you what I think, but what you choose is your business."
"I'm sorry." She lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes. "I thought that as long as I did what I should and did my best to consider your standpoint, it would be enough to repay you, but..."
In the face of his desperate love.
