“One minute. Just one more minute, please.” Angela made another call, but nobody picked up. Disappointed, she heaved a long sigh. For some reason, she teared up. She missed Dexter a lot, and she tried her best to contact him, but the fact that he didn’t pick up hurt her.

Richard stared at her, and he frowned. “That’s the guy you’d die for?” He couldn’t believe she was going to cry.

She noticed the mockery, and she bit her lip. “You have no idea what love is like. It’s a waste of time talking to you. You’ll know how I feel when you fall in love with someone. She turned away, and tears fell down her cheeks. Angela wiped them away awkwardly and went in the opposite direction.

She looked forlorn and lonely, especially under the dim light.

He peered at her, then he made his way to the conference room. Their meeting’s agenda this time was about the lipstick and Angela’s current danger level.

After her details were exposed to the world, Angela became the target of many criminals. She was a billion-dollar-object for them, after all. “We got all the details about the people around her. Anyone who approaches her might be a potential enemy.”

Richard asked, “Including her boyfriend’s?”

“Yes. She has a boyfriend named Dexter. He landed in homeland at about seven.

We’ll look into the people around him too.

Richard was reminded of the fact Dexter didn’t take Angela’s calls. He had enough power to find out where Dexter was, so he decided to help her out. “I want to know where the guy is, Richard said.

His underlings went to work right away. A moment later, he was presented with security footage and room registration records. “He’s in the Cloudsky Hotel. He landed at about seven. They saw a man holding a woman on the screen, and the facial recognition system pointed out that the man was Dexter.

Richard froze for a moment. He could hear them talking, and he said, “Turn the volume up.

His underling turned the volume up. everyone heard the cheating couple flirting with each other. and

“You’re the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen. Ever since I saw you back on the plane, I knew I’d be the happiest man on earth if I could have you.” Dexter flirted.

The woman smirked. She was obviously a veteran in this as well. “Is that so? Well, I’ll be your date for the next few days then, but I need a place to stay.

“Oh, I can do that. I can do anything you want.” He pinned her against the wall and pressed his lips against hers.

“Oh, we can’t do this here! Let’s get a room. The woman pretended to push him, but she was holding his arms and looking at him in delight at the same time.

Dexter was dressed expensively, and he was young and handsome, so he was naturally alluring to women. He told the lady to go into the room, while he came back out to take a call. Everyone could hear the conversation.

“How many times do I have to tell you, Mom? Look at the big picture. I want everything. I’ll give Angela’s mother the money back. That old hag is a billionaire! I can just marry Angela and take over her parents’ business.

I’m not going to back out just like this. Ah, don’t worry. Angela can’t live without me. She does everything I tell her to. I spent all my time making her fall for me. I know how much she loves me. Yeah, I know what I’m doing. Talk to you later, Mom. I have something urgent to handle.”

Someone opened the door, and out came the woman in a bathrobe. She looked a little miffed that Dexter was still on the phone, and she pulled him. “Looks like someone cares about a little call more than me.”

“That’s fake news, love.” Dexter kissed and pushed her into the room.

The men in the conference room felt a little jealous. Why does a f*ckboy like him get girls, while we can’t even get a girlfriend?

Everyone was still immersed in the footage, but someone broke their train of thoughts. “Give me a copy of the video.”

“Wait. Are you giving that to Miss Meyers? I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’ll break her heart.

“Just give it to me.” Richard stared at the screen. He was reminded of what Angela told him earlier. He wasn’t that close to her, but he thought it was a waste of her time spending all her life on someone like Dexter.

This was just a friendly reminder for her to move on. He told his underlings, “And look into everyone whom Dexter has talked to for the past two years. I want them first thing next morning.” He left, and his team members looked at one another.

“Wow. First time the captain cares about someone so much. Does he like her?”

“Well, she is beautiful. I can see why he likes her.”

“So is she gonna be his wife?”

“Maybe.”

“We’d better be nice to her then. Maybe the captain won’t kill us if we make any mistakes next time. She can help us out.”

Their conversation was cut short, as the air itself froze. They could feel someone looking at them from the doorstep, so they turned around. Much to their shock, Richard had come back right after he left, and he was looking at them coldly.

“Ahem. I mean the captain won’t fall for Miss Meyers. He doesn’t like getting into any relationships. That’s nonsense.

“That’s right! The captain’s not getting into any relationship. It’s gonna get in the way of his work. We gotta learn from him. Let’s not waste our time on relationships and spend all of it on work.”

“Miss Meyers isn’t that beautiful. She’s just pretty.

Richard went to his desk and picked a file up. He said icily, “If I hear you guys talking nonsense again, you’re getting a ten-mile run tomorrow morning.” He left and closed the door.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The captain’s getting really stealthy lately. We gotta keep our mouths shut.

Angela was in her room. She had finished showering and just changed into her pajamas. She was still wondering why Dexter wouldn’t take her call. What on earth is he doing?

Just then, someone knocked on Angela’s door. She looked at it and went to open the door. Richard was standing outside. She crossed her arms and asked coolly, “What do you want?”

Richard looked at her for a few moments with mixed feelings before saying calmly, “I have something for you. Get changed and come to the waiting room.”

Angela cocked her eyebrow. “You can give it to me here.”

“It’s about your boyfriend,” Richard told her.

Angela’s eyes shone, and something seemed to leap with joy in them. She looked at him expectantly. “Really? Did he call you?”

Richard could not share her joy. Instead, he felt sad for her. Does she really love that b*stard? He didn’t want to hurt her. She was the granddaughter of his grandfather’s best friend after all.

“Come in! Come in! Tell me more!” She turned to the side and welcomed him into her room.

Richard frowned. Does she have no concept of safety? “Are you sure your boyfriend really loves you?” Richard asked instead of going in.

Angela smiled and she answered without missing a beat, “Of course.” She sounded confident.

Richard felt a little frustrated. She’s beautiful, born to money, and lives in luxury. So why is she so stupid? That jerk’s playing her like a fiddle, and she has no idea about it.

“Don’t just look at me. Talk! Did my boyfriend call?” Angela wondered why he was staring at her.

“No.” Richard was about to leave.

Angela closed the door and ran forward to block him. She spread her arms wide and told him, “I need your phone, Richard. I need to make a call.”
