บท 709: Dilemma

Dora was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she felt guilty towards Kael; on the other, she was enraged that he would try to force her hand. She glared at her phone in disappointment and anger, as if it were the handset's fault as she re- read the message that Kael had sent her," Dora, I know this might seem like I am forcing your hand, but believe me this is the last thing I want. I am merely trying to protect myself. I've already made my feelings known to you while you have yet to realise your feelings for me. Or maybe you do not feel anything. 

As such, I've decided to give you some time and space to come to an answer without feeling forced to choose me. I will not be seeing you for the next five days until it is time for the University's annual ball. Until then, I will await your answer. I hope we can go to this ball as a couple, but the end decision is in your hands."
