Sensing the change in the atmosphere, white cursed in his heart. He didn't expect things to develop to this point.
He didn't care what the others thought, but he was afraid that Leah would also think that he was the one who had ordered her to do this.
In that case, it would definitely lower Leah's impression of him.
Warter was overthinking things. Leah's polite response was a sign of improvement in their relationship.
In fact, in Leah's eyes, white was a sinister, perverted, and despicable man. She would never come into contact with him unless it was necessary.
White had been the one pestering her all this time, and Leah had no choice but to contact him.
Even if he had a good impression, it would probably be negative. Any random passerby would have a better impression than him.
