Nora hadn't been exaggerating when she said she had almost lost her mind that day.
Even with her standing right beside Ryan, girls kept approaching him one after another.
Some even resorted to petty tricks, making light threats or pretending to get injured just to take advantage of Ryan's kindhearted nature.
Naturally, Ryan healed every single one of them with his usual gentle smile. However, he also made sure to leave them with a few psychological scars of their own.
Still, when the number of girls trying to win him over exceeded twenty, even Nora's patience began to wear thin.
"Nora, are you okay…?"
But it was fine.
In the end, Ryan hadn't accepted a single request to be someone's partner. He hadn't even stopped Nora from turning people down on his behalf.
In fact, he had personally and politely rejected every girl who approached him, seemingly hoping to discourage any further attempts.
