Seeing Tang Mo staring at her thoughtfully, Alice's face involuntarily flushed with color. She stole a glance at Tang Mo, then another, feeling that the more she looked, the more she liked him.
However, she stubbornly explained to Tang Mo, "This isn't because of my relationship with you, Tang Mo, this is because you have truly brought benefits to Northern Ridge. I am the Earl of Northern Ridge, and I will take responsibility for Northern Ridge. The reason why I'm fully cooperating with you is not because you...you slept with me, but because I believe that cooperating with you is beneficial for Northern Ridge."
"I understand! I understand, Alice! I have never thought of hurting you, nor have I thought of hurting Northern Ridge." Tang Mo nodded slightly, as if to give Alice a promise.
Though it did not sound like a promise, Tang Mo knew that what he said was the truth and a commitment he decided to execute and maintain throughout.
