And to be even more fair... I understand her pov a lot... her boss and her family apparently don't get along, the job is demanding and the boss has the ability to off with her whole family... makes sense she'd be extra careful and believe he dislikes her... even if he clearly, openly and unambiguously confessed to her... poor soul would still second guess his intentions...
And ml... ml is such a drama queen I love it...
Right? It's fresh to see a ml that shows so much emotion... I'm as tired of the cold duke/cp that restrains themselves and only show a sliver of emotion to fl as ai am of mc's that get into a villainess body but act like a certified pure and kind heroine... like... frick if you incarnate a modern woman in a novel I wanna see her act like one... not a prude pre-teen saint! It doesn't make sense to have a 20+ mature woman acting like she never talked to a man before... like... girl... u went tru hs, college and years in the workforce... stop acting like u don't know how society work!
It drives me crazy...

I love their dynamic but at the same time I’m getting sick of the “oh no she/he thinks this(they don’t) I have to change” I thought at least 20 in we would have progress but it always goes back to how it was
