She didn’t have a boyfriend by that point and she was indeed in love with him. Her feelings for him fizzled out overtime because he’s such a workaholic that his employees too become workaholics who detest him for his tyranny at work. She got with her boyfriends afterwards. ML read her very clearly.
Oh wow I don’t remember that at all. All I remember from that time (of the story) is her disconnect with him and at how she was so engrossed in her work. Let me re-read maybe I missed that lol
Also lmao if this is true then he’s more smug then I thought and it kinda makes me feel a bit deflated in their relationship when he knew he’d win her so easily.. home girl is really all us readers lmaoo
I don’t think he wanted to win her over at at this point. Despite his wet dreams, he seemed to have zero interest in being with a woman. I think the shift might have happened for him when she actually started hating him and got a boyfriend on top of everything. That’s why I love them. She’s never been stupidly infatuated regardless of how he treated her at work.
I swear this ML will have me cackling alongside his lustful thoughts only to then turn around and get mad at his narcissistic and callous thoughts of others lol
But hey he’s emotionally expressive sets boundaries but sometimes can be near sighted
Him thinking she’s interested in him at that time when she has a whole boyfriend is
