"This time, President Fairchild helped me too, so I'd say we're even."
"If that elevator had crashed, I might have died. Therefore, Miss Monroe, you saved my life."
Melody Monroe was speechless.
"President Fairchild, you're exaggerating! If I had truly saved your life, I would have stopped you from getting on the elevator in the first place. I didn't manage to do that, so it can't be considered life-saving."
"In that case, I misunderstood you, pulled you into the elevator with me, and nearly dragged you into a life-threatening situation. So, in addition to owing you for saving my life, I also need to compensate you."
Melody was completely baffled. 'Is it really that complicated!?'
She racked her brain but couldn't think of anything to refute him.
'Cultured people really are different—their eloquence is on another level! He's making such a far-fetched reason to repay me sound so logical and well-argued.'
