"That's cute of you to think that. Whether it was at the company party or the art gallery exhibition or so many other times I cannot keep track of - you kept hammering in my head that we shouldn't get too close. Our families don't really match for us to stand as equals."
"What is wrong with that?" His eyes narrowed. "I was telling the truth."
