Mia Foster spoke with seriousness: a rational woman, not only in regards to her work but also in her interactions with men, handles things with a clear head. She fancied Felix Shaw, but her affection was not based on one-sided dedication. Therefore, she set a one-year deadline for him to prove his commitment; if after a year Felix remained as nonchalant as now, she would let go of even the man she loves if he continued to lack responsibility.
However, Felix Shaw didn't take it to heart. His affections already belonged to Elizabeth White, leaving him indifferent to other women. Even though a relationship was impossible, he still asked with a smile, "Are you very confident in yourself?"
But Mia locked eyes with his smiling, charming gaze and answered earnestly, "My confidence comes from my efforts. If they are not reciprocated, I won't foolishly wait any longer."
It was thought to be just a harsh statement from Mia, yet unexpectedly, it turned out to be prophetic a year later.
