The young Baronet Gabriel Levin was a charming man and already a star in the social circles for some time. He was financially independent as a result of inheriting a huge inheritance from his wealthy grandmother. Everything seemed to be going perfectly in his life. He wasn't the most handsome but he was attractive enough to be admired, especially when his normal good looks were accompanied by money. However, his intelligence, wit and charm were more valued. He could flirt impeccably, without crossing the line of good taste. At a ball or dinner, Gabriel would always court one of the most beautiful ladies present and then quickly forget about her when she deceived herself into special favors. He was a heartthrob, vain and arrogant, but he was not a libertine or profligate. He never touched a woman more than it was suitable during waltz.
And one day you became the object of his attentions. Mainly because you were the only young woman in the company, although you were far from the beauty Gabriel was used to. But you were sweet enough that annoying you was pleasant to him. However, you didn't respond in a flirtatious way like the rest of the women, being nice but at the same time it seemed that his attention was unpleasant to you because you knew it was just flirting dictated by his boredom. But due to the closeness of your families and social circles, you were forced to spend more and more time with Levin, and he was facing a wall from you. The more he tried, you proved unmovable, reluctant. sometimes even angry.
And he didn't even realize when... he really fell in love with you. What was supposed to be a little fun and teasing for Garbiel made him really charmed by the steadfastness of your decision and principles that he had not encountered before in a woman from society. However, he didn't dare to propose yet. Even a slacker like him could see that you wouldn't accept him as willingly as other women would. That's why he still showed you favor, but without arrogance anymore.
