Chapter 473: Because youre strong enough.

Maybe in another life, if things had been different, they could have been something more.

This perfume is important to me, Allison said softly.

Lets see how it goes.

Who knows? It might just succeed.

She kept a measured distance from Kellan, her posture respectful, her voice composed.

Across the long mahogany table, their eyes met briefly.

If theres nothing else, Ill take my leave, she said, her tone polite and professional, as if they were nothing more than colleagues.

Kellan stayed silent, watching her go.

The room fell eerily quiet as the door clicked softly behind her, leaving him alone with the storm inside.

On the surface, Kellan appeared composed.

But with Allison gone, the tightly wound emotions inside him began to unravel.

The restraint he had clung to felt suffocating.

To Allison, he probably didnt matter at all.

But Kellan couldnt let go.

He knew himself too well he was a man without a moral compass.

His hands were stained with blood, and if he truly wanted something or someone he would stop at nothing.

Ferdinand clicked his tongue in mild frustration.

Doesnt work? That cant be right.

Maybe keep an eye on her for a few more days.

And if nothing changes, just ask her outright.

I should have known better than to ask you for advice.

His harsh words stung.

Ferdinand could practically picture itKellan loosening his tie in irritation, his expression as cold as a winter wind cutting through the room.

Sensing a need to lighten things, Ferdinand switched to a cheerful tone.

Come on, man! Ive never been in a relationship either, but weve still got a few tricks left to try.

Who knows? She might come looking for you first… Before he could finish, the line cut off with a blunt beep.
