After she finished speaking, she returned her gaze to Richard’s attractive side. profile. His determined expression made her heart skip a beat whenever she looked at him.
Jared, who was sitting across from her, was watching Richard’s expression. Jared now understood why Ariel fell in love with Richard at first sight: He was a stunner and had the skills to back up his looks.
“Captain Lloyd, please look after me in the future!” Ariel exclaimed.
Trevor and Jared, on the other hand, exchanged glances. Richard was extremely popular with women! So quickly did an admirer arrive! With their captain present, there was no doubt that they were able to look at girls as well.
Even Sean, the most attractive guy in their group, was disappointed.
“You’ll be perfectly safe here.” Richard quietly consoled her.
“Yes! It’s all thanks to you, Captain Lloyd, who’s capable of keeping us safe!” Ariel praised.
Angela, who was in the dining area, was taken aback when she noticed Richard and his team at their usual table.
There was a girl dressed in a tight dress sitting next to Richard. She spoke to him with a shy smile on her face.
Angela’s breathing slowed for a few seconds. Could it be the girl he had feelings for? Did he invite her to the base? Even while sitting, the girl had a great figure, exquisite makeup, and a sort of wild beauty to her. She was blinking prettily as she looked at Richard with her smiley, crescent eyes.
Is this his type?
It was unsurprising for Angela to misunderstand; she knew very little about Richard, and Ariel was a stunning wild beauty. Compared to a good girl like Angela, who had been under strict control since childhood, Ariel was charming.
“Hi, Miss Meyers!” Trevor turned around and waved at her.
Angela smiled at Trevor, who was at a distance from her. She then proceeded to Mr. Dwayne’s table while carrying her dinner plate.
Mr. Dwayne was surprised when she approached him. She was, of course, welcomed to join him for dinner.
“Are you hurt today, Miss Meyers?” A concerned Mr. Wayne asked.
“I’m not hurt. My entire body aches,” she replied truthfully.
“Just practice more.” He smiled reassuringly as he said.
She gave him a bright grin and nodded. Then, she inadvertently looked across the long table in the direction diagonally opposite from her, and she happened to meet Richard’s gaze at that moment, She quickly retracted her gaze after casting a glance at him, whose dark eyes looked at her for some reason. Then, she pretended to listen to Mr. Dwayne’s words and stopped looking around.
Ariel’s gaze was drawn to Angela at this point, and she couldn’t help but ask Trevor, “What’s the name of the girl you called just now?”
“Her name is Angela.”
“Is she also staying here for protection?” Ariel was intrigued.
Trevor didn’t want to reveal Angela’s identity and the nature of her protection, so he smiled and said, “She’s here for a good time.”
Carlton’s eyes couldn’t leave Angela either. He was surprised to see such a beautiful girl here, and he could tell she was from a wealthy family thanks to his exceptional observational abilities regarding people.
After Richard finished his meal, he immediately stood up and walked over to put away his tray. Coincidentally, Angela, seated next to him at the table, was laughing cheerfully. Her crisp, beautiful, soothing laughter had captured the attention of the young men around her, and they were all turning around to look at her.
Richard frowned slightly before glancing at Angela, who was beaming brightly, and then left.
As a result, Ariel lost her appetite as she inquired of Sean, “I’d like to know if Captain Lloyd is married. Is he in a relationship?”
“I strongly advise you not to pursue our captain, Miss Graham,” Sean suggested.
“Yeah. Richard has no time to fall in love,” Jared added to Sean’s words.
“Richard is very busy with his work, so please don’t bother him, Miss Graham,” Trevor said.
Ariel blushed, feeling embarrassed, but she grumbled her heart. I’m free to pursue any man I want. Why should they care?
After the men had placed their plates away, the men left together. At this point, Ariel’s eyes were filled with rage, and she noticed Carlton staring at Angela, which aggravated her mood.
“Why are you looking at her? Is she as attractive as I am?” Ariel vented her rage at him.
She was aware of his feelings for her, so she exploited them to manipulate him. As a result, she was naturally irritated when she noticed him staring at other girls.
Although Carlton refrained from responding to Ariel. He secretly thought that Miss Meyers was on a different level than Ariel regarding height, appearance, and aura; these were not qualities that any ordinary Jane possessed.
Angela was actually quite moody. She didn’t feel like eating so she didn’t take too much food for herself. She finished her meal and left right after that. She was quite dejected and was about to return to her room with a downcast spirit.
However, she didn’t look where she was going and nearly walked into a pole. Luckily, at that moment, a guy’s hand reached out to catch her elbow and pulled her away from the pole swiftly so she was saved from injuring her forehead.
Angela then lifted her head and saw Richard’s face appeared in front of her. Even under the bright, glittering lights, his sharp features were evident and unable to be softened.
“Thanks.” Angela expressed her gratitude politely. At that moment, she was annoyed with herself for her bad habit of not looking at where she was going.
“Richard, what a coincidence!” Suddenly, a coquettish woman’s voice rang out from behind and the person called his name affectionately.
Angela turned around to look at him and saw Ariel heading toward them with an enthusiastic look on her face. Ariel smiled sweetly at Richard before coming to the realization of Angela’s presence as she greeted Angela, “Hi, I’m Ariel.”
“I’m Angela.” Angela revealed a slight smile.
The girl had addressed Richard by his first name so they must be quite close to each other. As such, Angela was quite perceptive and she mentioned, “I’ll leave now to give you guys some private time together.”
After Angela finished saying that, she initially intended to go back to her room but she suddenly had a whim and decided to walk in the direction of the front door. However, the night skies had completely darkened.
Richard didn’t even bother to cast eyes on Ariel, but he turned around to look at the figure at the doorway who had gradually disappeared in the distance.
Subsequently, he shot a look at Ariel. “You should go back to your room and get some rest. I’m busy.”
He finished saying that and strode briskly toward the front door.
As for Angela, she walked slowly and arrived by the side of the sports field. She walked past a grassy patch and noticed a rock blocking her path. She lifted her feet to kick it aside but the rock was half embedded in the ground so her kick did not dislodge the stone at all. Unfortunately for her, she injured her toe in the process.
“Ouch! Oh my goodness!” She bent down in pain and thought to herself, Everything’s a mess!
