This was a case of retreating to advance.
No one understood better than Elizabeth Thompson how much Trevor Sherman admired and liked her.
In Trevor's heart, she was revered as an angelic figure.
An idol and a confidante.
She must make Trevor know that she was as untouchable as a delicate beauty in the moon.
No one was worthy of her.
She had to make Trevor, tormented by his feelings for her, into her loyal follower.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Trevor immediately clarified, "Emma, I have never thought of you in that way. I just wanted to be friends with you. I admire your character and talent."
Before Elizabeth could speak, Trevor continued, "Is it impossible to have a pure friendship between a man and a woman? If a girl misunderstand me because of you, then I would rather stay single for the rest of my life."
The appreciation shared between him and Elizabeth; if it was categorized under romantic feelings, it would be too vulgar.
