Richard didn’t even say another word and he grabbed the back of her head and exerted pressure as he pressed her head against his chest. Her chiding words became muffled as he held her in his arms.

Angela finally came back to her senses and realized that she was in his arms and held tightly by him.

She reached out as well and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly without hesitation. She smiled furtively in his arms and although she had embarrassed herself, at least he knew how to comfort her.

“You mentioned earlier that you were going to get Sean to be your boyfriend, huh?” Suddenly, there was a cold, interrogative voice that rang out from the top of her head.

Angela felt a cold breeze transverse across as she lifted her head up to look at his angry expression. She felt slightly aggrieved but she was keener to find out if he was actually jealous.

“Sean’s s quite handsome, gentle, and witty too. He’s also quite kind toward me.” She tried to sound him out so she purposely heaped praises upon Sean.

Poor Sean was unwittingly dragged into this and at the moment, he sneezed hard in his hostel all of a sudden as a wave of unease ran through him..

Richard glanced at the woman, who was currently in his arms and yet busy praising another man, and his eyes gradually reverted to his usual cold gaze.

Angela bit her lips and didn’t finish her sentence. She pressed her face tightly back into his chest without saying another word. She decided to stop talking and just focus on hugging him.

At that moment, there was a squeaking sound of mice on the ground.

“Ah…” Angela leaped up and quite naturally clung to him tightly. Subsequently, he carried her into his arms.

Her red lips curved up and there was a pleased look on her as she glanced at his handsome face. She explained to him, “Although Sean’s great, personally, I’d prefer someone like Captain Lloyd.”

Her words were evidently a confession of her feelings.

Richard, who was generally decisive, ruthless, and always had a cold look on his face, suddenly blushed slightly. However, it was too dark at night, so Angela didn’t realize that..

“My foot hurts. Captain Lloyd, could you please carry me back?” Angela spoke coyly.

He didn’t turn her request down and he carried her toward the direction of the front door of the base.

Just as they were about to arrive at the entrance of the base, she requested for him to put her down. She did that all for the sake of his reputation and didn’t wish for him to be a topic of speculation. He had quite a high position here and if everyone saw him carrying her around. every single day then there would be plenty of rumors about him that arose.

Angela was very pleased with his performance tonight. Although he had caused her to embarrass herself and confess her feelings, at least it had generated some response from him..

‘I’ll head over to your room to take a shower later. Is that fine?” She lifted her head and asked.

“Sure, come on over.” Richard nodded.

She scanned from left to right with her pretty eyes and thought, The coast is clear right now. Is this the perfect time to sneak a kiss?

“Uh… Lower your head. I’ve got something to tell you.” Angela twisted her fingers and made a request with a slightly awkward look on her face.

Richard did as told and he naturally lowered his tall body to lower his head and listen to what she had to say. However, as soon as he lowered his head, a pair of soft lips planted a kiss on his cheek quite swiftly. He was stunned and he turned around to glance at the girl who’d taken advantage of him.

At that moment, she stayed behind and didn’t run away from him. Furthermore, she revealed a dazzling smile to him. “Did you like that?”

Then, there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes but he didn’t say a word. However, the look in his eyes clearly spoke volumes and indicated that he was perfectly fine with her behaving without any restraint in front of him.

“I’ll see you later.” Angela turned around and fled after finishing her sentence. Simply put, she could not look him in the eye due to her flushed face, so she had to run.

She returned to her room, her heart pounding as she smiled foolishly. She had a sweet expression on her face as her eyes sparkled since she was thrilled.

She felt that her relationship with Richard had improved substantially. The aloof and indifferent expression on his face had vanished, and it was evident that he had enjoyed the sneak kiss she gave him earlier.

Meanwhile, Ariel was throwing a tantrum in her room because she had just realized that no private bathroom was available. Being a girl, she found the idea of having to use the public bathhouse to take a shower to be unacceptable.

She went to the management office to express her concern, but they told her to use the public bathhouse. She left the office in an inconsolable rage and barely managed to keep her calm. It dawned on her that she wasn’t the only female guest.

Where does Angela take her shower? She certainly wouldn’t shower in the public bathhouse. She wanted to find out where Angela took a shower so she could use the same bathroom.

Ariel proceeded to ask around until she finally received the answer in secret from a male staff member. He informed her that Angela had a designated area for shower and that she had gone to Richard’s private en-suite bathroom.

They were currently located in the deep mountains, so resources were limited; everything was streamlined, and few people had the privilege of having an en suite bathroom.

When she heard that, her eyes lit up. So, Angela takes a shower in Richard’s room, which means I can do the same. At that moment, she recalled that she had packed two slinky nightgowns on purpose when packing her clothes, and now it came in handy.

Ariel returned to her room and hastily took out a nude pink nightgown from her wardrobe before picking out a long coat. She intended to wrap that around herself after she finished her shower as no one other than Richard could get to see her in a nightgown.

She was not in a hurry to head to Richard’s room at the moment because she hoped to stall for more time. Once everyone in this hostel block fell asleep, it would be much more convenient for her to make her way to his room.

She pulled out a vanity mirror and began admiring her beauty. She took a closer look and concluded that the results of her cosmetic surgery were excellent because the scars from the operation were hardly noticeable. She compared her new, refined appearance to the one she had before by moving her eyes, nose, and lips.

Ariel could not help but think of Angela. Since she was so accustomed to visiting the plastic surgeon’s hospital, she was confident that she could tell if a woman. had undergone cosmetic procedures at a glance.

She was envious to learn that Angela was a natural beauty with perfect features. She also admired Angela’s flawless skin.

Still, Ariel considered her merits and concluded that Angela was too brainy and didn’t appear to be the type men preferred. On the other hand, she was flirtatious and seductive, and a single glance could easily win a man’s heart. Furthermore, she was far more open minded than Angela.

Angela regained her composure in the room before grabbing her pajamas and heading to Richard’s room to shower. She brought the same set of pajamas as before, with the addition of a robe for an extra layer of warmth. After all, it was getting colder outside.

In late autumn, the temperature significantly differed between night and day in a remote mountainous region. During the day, the temperature reach sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, but at night, it dropped to forty-six degrees Fahrenheit.

Angela sneezed a few times, possibly because she had caught a chill when she ran out of her room. Right now, she could feel her body getting colder.

Please don’t tell me that I’ve caught a cold! Please, no! That would be awful. She couldn’t help but think to herself.

Angela went to Richard’s room, put out her hand to knock on the door, and someone opened the door from the inside. He had just gotten out of the shower and was dressed casually. There were still some droplets of water on his dark hair.

“Did you just take a shower?” she asked shyly, still smelling the faint mint scent on his body.

“Yup!” He moved sideways to let her in.

She sneezed twice as soon as she entered the room, leaving her slightly embarrassed. Suddenly, a large hand touched her forehead, and as she stood there in shock, she felt his palm press against her forehead twice. He said hushedly, “You seem to have a slight fever.”

“Are you sure about that? I don’t think so.” Angela felt slightly dizzy but didn’t think that she might have caught a cold.
