Chapter 562
"Did you call just to tell me this?"
Linus had previously warned Moose not to call unless it was important as he was often busy with urgent tasks. What if he accidentally missed something important? "Of course not..."
Moose hesitated whether to tell Linus now or just wait until he arrived, but he decided on the latter. "Forget it. Just hurry over. I'll tell you face to face." It seemed serious.
Linus understood Moose well. Despite his casual and unserious demeanor, Moose was actually quite reliable.
After hanging up, Moose glanced at the radiant Gwen not far away, who was silently worrying about Linus.
Linus might be decisive and ruthless during his missions, but as his subordinate, Moose knew he had a soft side.
Why else would Gwen be so hung up on Linus? Everyone in the organization knew how Gwen felt about Linus and vice versa.
However, Gwen still refused to listen, see, or understand. She even resorted to guilt-tripping Moose, putting him in a dilemma.
Upon seeing Moose hang up the phone, Gwen immediately went up to him and asked when Linus would arrive. Moose casually replied that he would be arriving soon, and only then did Gwen let him off the hook. Although Linus left home half an hour early, he still got stuck in traffic on the overhead bridge for over ten minutes. By the time he reached the Wickley Hotel, the banquet was about to begin.
Moose recognized Linus' car and rushed over as soon as he got out.
"Linus, it's been so long!"
Moose had always been enthusiastic, and he could not wait to give Linus a big hug, but Linus stopped him.
"Tell me. What's so important that you have to tell me in person?"
Knowing that Linus might not like what he was about to say, Moose reluctantly said, "Promise me you won't get mad."
"I won't. I'm not an unreasonable person."
"Alright then..." Moose mysteriously

Linus was puzzled. Promise? What kind of promise could he possibly make to Gwen?
Moose clarified, "You know how you keep refusing to give Gwen an answer? Well, she told Mr. Zimmer about it, so he's here to pressure you. Gwen knows how much you respect Mr. Zimmer and that you wouldn't disobey him."
Linus clenched his teeth, feeling his blood boil.
Sensing Linus' displeasure, Moose tried to calm him down. "I know how it feels to be manipulated and threatened... But if you don't mind me asking, have you firmly turned Gwen down before?"
Linus furrowed his brows. "I've turned her down countless times, and you've seen it with your own eyes. Isn't that enough?"
"I guess you're right..." Moose muttered to himself.
"But Gwen is determined to be with you... Do you regret helping her now?"
Linus had thought about that before, but he believed that if given another chance, he would still help Gwen.
If no one were there to help her back then, she would not be standing here today, talking and laughing with others.
