Chương 44: Why did it have to be him of all people?

Everything Sam did, whether it was his apparent refusal or indifference, had one purpose. 

It wasn't about evasion; it was about taking the initiative. 

Facing a girl of Angel's prestigious status, gaining the upper hand was undoubtedly challenging. 

Given her superior family background and the dominance she had always maintained, she only accepted situations that gradually came under her control. 

But dreaming of controlling Sam was just that – a dream.

This was Sam's strategy: to conquer her, starting with what seemed like an unfair deal. 

It appeared risky and reckless but was actually quite rational. 

Through their interactions and his understanding of the game's storyline, Sam was well aware of what it would take for her to compromise rather than repeatedly using time-stop to achieve her goals.

She wanted to control Sam, to treat him like a fun toy to play with and then put away. Sam accurately captured this sentiment.
