The question that Marissa wants to ask Adam is on the tip of her tongue, but she doesn't know how to ask it.
Especially with Adam remaining so composed.
It's definitely a unique experience for Marissa, as boys around her son's age are always nervous around her given her status, so it's quite refreshing to see someone like Adam, who seems to remain calm and composed no matter the situation.
She likes to see this, given her taste in men, who are usually young and handsome, but right now, Adam poses a dilemma she is not used to.
Usually, she is the one who is always in control, given her age and experience, but she can see that her age, status, or beauty does not influence how Adam acts and behaves around her, making it hard for her to take control of the situation and be free about the words she wants to use.
Adam, who is always the observer, notices the micro expression on her face, which makes him realize that she wants something from him, but what, he has no idea.
