“You can just sit on the couch with a book, and we’ll take a few photos of you. It’d be good if it’s a simple post sharing your daily life.”

Angela picked her book up and struck a natural-looking pose before flashing a serene smile at the camera. Then, she took the cup from the table beside her and began to pose with it. Soon enough, she was engrossed in an adorable, though slightly self-absorbed photoshoot.

In the midst of it all, Angela could sense that Richard, who was sitting at his desk opposite her, was staring at her too. Her face grew a little pink, which added a kittenish air to her.

Soon enough, Trevor and Jared were satisfied with the photos they had taken. Trevor was about to stand up when he suddenly bent forward and said quietly, “Miss Meyers, if you need any sort of medication and don’t feel like asking the infirmary for it, feel free to come and ask us for help!”

Angela squinted in confusion. She did not know what he was talking about.

“Medication? What medication?”

“Umm… just the… the one to treat that…. Trevor spluttered for a bit before shoving Jared. “You say it.”

Jared’s face was red as well. After looking into Angela’s curious eyes, he took a deep breath and explained, “Here’s the thing, Miss Meyers. We’ve looked into Dexter Kavinsky’s medical records and found out that he has a very critical sexually transmitted disease. If you need that sort of medication, feel free to come to us for help.”

“Yes, exactly. Don’t feel shy about approaching us. Your health’s more important,” Trevor quickly added.

Angela had turned scarlet by now. Was Dexter’s medical condition the reason why he never tried to sleep with her? He pretended to be someone innocent in love and even swore that she was his first love, and that he had never liked anyone before her.

A piercing gaze landed on her as well. It came from the man behind the desk.

The very thought of that b*stard Dexter made Angela radiate pure hatred. When she felt the gaze that came from the person at the desk, she instinctively looked over.

Richard swiftly averted his eyes, and his expression made it seem like he couldn’t care less about this. He took his cup and sipped at his tea ever so elegantly.

Angela took a deep breath. “I don’t need any medication, but thank you both for your concern. Dexter and I never went. that far in our relationship.”

Both Trevor and Jared were completely red in the face. They had asked out of concern for her, but right now, they felt like they had encroached on her personal space instead.

“That’s good to hear,” Trevor said with a smile as he tugged Jared by the arm. “Come, let’s get back to work.”

Jared and Trevor dashed out of the room as quickly as possible and wisely closed the door behind them.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Angela bit her lip and her senses seemed to have momentarily taken leave of her as she asked Richard, “Do you believe what I just said?”

Richard glanced at her. “It has nothing to do with me.”

Angela got a little frantic for some reason. “You don’t believe what I said?” She raised her hand to swear, “I swear on my life that what I said earlier was completely true. I’m in excellent health with no sexually-transmitted diseases at all. Please believe me.”

Richard frowned. “You should be swearing about this to your future husband instead. Why are you swearing it to me?”

Angela turned bright red yet again as she explained in embarrassment, “I’m worried you won’t let me use your bathroom. That’s why I have to explain myself clearly to you.”

Richard checked his watch. “Stay here and don’t run around.”

He walked out of the room without further ado.

Angela hid her face in embarrassment. Why did I swear to him? How conceited of me!

That night, Angela could not head over for dinner herself, but someone was kind and thoughtful enough to deliver her food to Richard’s room for her.

Although Angela had only stayed there for a day, she could already feel how genuine and sincere everyone was, unlike the unforgiving people with a hidden agenda who used to surround her. Because of that, she started to fall in love with the relaxing environment.

While having her meal, she proceeded to read a book but soon felt sleepy while doing so. Thus, she covered her face with it and unknowingly dozed off shortly after.

When it was 9.30PM at night, Richard opened the door and entered the room, thinking Angela must have already returned to her room by then, only to see her sleeping on his couch.

At the sight of that, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed, finding the lady troublesome. The next second, he walked closer to her and lifted the book that was covering her face, revealing her good looks in the illuminating light. With her long hair right behind her head, her beautiful appearance, coupled with her smooth skin, accentuated her elegance.

Richard squinted, realizing it was his first time ever looking and admiring a lady’s good looks so closely; it was as if Angela’s face was a portrait on display for his personal enjoyment.

In the meantime, the rosy cheeks and her thick eyelashes, along with her high nasal bridge and full red lips, were especially some of the most notable facial features on Angela’s face.

As Richard continued to keep his eyes on the lady’s face, he somehow began to feel suffocated, his body tensing, especially at the sight of her red lips.

Feeling a strange urge that was surging through him on the inside, he then stood up and left the room immediately, as if Angela was some sort of disease that was attacking his heart.

On the other hand, she remained asleep until a loud bang on the door woke her up. She then opened her eyes and sat bolt upright irritably shortly before she wondered why she fell asleep in Richard’s room.

After that, she took a look at the time and realized it was almost 10.00PM, feeling bewildered that he was still not back in his room at that hour.

Then, Angela stood up from the couch, feeling better in her ankle because it was now less painful, much to her relief. So, she limped out of Richard’s room and made her way back to hers..

On the other hand, Richard was covered in sweat from head to toe, as he was playing basketball alone on the court, putting more effort than usual into every shot without giving himself a break. As he managed to score a three-point goal in several consecutive shots, his subordinate happened to run into him.

“Why are you still, Richie?” Sean asked.

“I can’t sleep.” Richard aimed at the basket and took his shot accurately, looking very much like a professional basketball player.

“Let’s play together.” Sean suggested that they played a basketball match.

The same night, Angela was sound asleep, as she could finally have some peace of mind, thanks to the forgiving people and environment there. However, she quickly sensed something strange in the next three days when she noticed Richard’s absence both in the canteen, the field, and even his room.

Since his room wasn’t locked, she could go in and out of it freely but failed to find any signs of the man. When she finally ran into Trevor, she asked, “Trevor, where is Richard?”

“He is away for the next few days.”

“When will he be back?”

“He didn’t mention that.”

After hearing that, Angela was annoyed with the fact that Richard didn’t tell her head before he left. Without Richard around, she felt as if something was missing in her life, with less joy and more boredom.

Because of that, she would carry a book with her to the canteen every day and spend the entire afternoon there. Soon, a week passed by without Angela realizing it by herself as she began to get used to Richard’s absence, but even So, she would still occasionally wonder when he would be back.
