Chapter 264: Ariane Reynard

Outside the Conference Room, Helen Blair was eager to avoid Oliver Hoffman. After casually talking for a bit, she left. How could Oliver not understand what was on her mind?

It's like dancing: when one person steps back, the other must move forward; otherwise, the dance can no longer continue—just like their relationship. If she backed away and he did nothing, their connection would come to an end.

Of course, this was not the outcome he wanted.

It didn't matter if she was cold and distant, or if she escaped and retreated. He would patiently and carefully take the lead in everything. If Oliver were the type to back down at the first sign of trouble, he wouldn't be the person he is today.
