Regardless, Ronald had to retreat.
If Patricia believed he was in danger and launched an attack.
He would struggle to deal with Patricia's precise and swift offensive capabilities.
Meanwhile, inside the data room.
Hearing Ronald's explanation, Patricia indeed hesitated.
She pondered for a few seconds, hesitantly looking at Ronald standing outside the door, before finally asking,
"Ronald, how many times have we eaten together?"
"Twice." Ronald immediately answered, and even remembered to add, "The first time I carelessly left the trash on the bench, while you threw yours in the bin. The second time, after eating, we both disposed of it in the trash can together."
His swift and unhesitant response considerably reduced the doubt in Patricia's eyes.
But after thinking it over, she still had another question,
"Ronald, tell me more."
"What is your opinion on mathematics?"
...
How should I answer this...
Honestly.
The question from Patricia left Ronald a bit flustered.
