Adam kept his intentions regarding Ellie to himself. He can't just come out and say what he feels and thinks about the woman to her face now, can he?
She is clearly not someone who will tolerate anything from him at the moment. Adam has already seen how she reacted when she mistook his business proposal as a confession, but there were also a lot of vulnerabilities in her rejection.
It was as if deep down, she felt disappointed that it was not a love confession.
Adam has already made a great impression on her; he just needs to continue what he is doing, and soon he will be in.
And with how her relationship with her boyfriend seems to be going, Adam won't even have to work hard for it.
Soon she will be broken, and who will be there to lend a shoulder for her to cry on? Adam. He is going to use to "Best friend" tactic, but in this case, he is not a best friend, so the chances of his success are much higher.
