"Mark, I have told you before that I do not want anything to do with you, right? Then why do you keep cornering me like this? Is it fun tormenting me like this? You know I cannot say no to you in my current situation."
When the soundproof door closed behind her, Rika immediately challenged her brother. She was resolute in not letting Mark seize control, knowing his tactics all too well.
If he had control of the situation, he would not let Rika speak and find a way to change the problem, which would be Rika's fault.
As expected, Mark bit his lip in agitation as he looked Rika's way. His eyes sparked with curiosity but also aggression and determination.
"I wanted to apologize to you! I know that whatever happened between us until now was something you did not wish to do. But I can't take it anymore! My inner self won't let my conscience rest until I've made up with you."
Mark sounded genuinely sad and wanted to pick up his relationship with Rika.
