“No,” Richard refused without hesitation.

“Please, it’s just a call. I’m desperate!” She put her hands in a prayer and begged him. She wanted to know if Dexter had landed safely. He’s gonna be worried if he can’t find me.

Richard crossed his arms and put on a sterner look. “No means no.”

Hey, that’s just heartless. It’s just a phone. It’s not like lending it to me is going to kill you. “Five minutes, please? I’ll pay you. Do you really have to be so stuck up about that?” Angela was almost on her knees. She fluttered her eyelashes and started acting like a kid. “Aww, pwease, Mr. Lloyd? Pwetty pwease?”

Richard squinted. His face was still deadpan, and he refused to budge.

Angela stopped acting and stared at his pockets. Her eyes glinted, and she smiled. “You’re really handsome, actually. You’re my cup of tea.” She kept beguiling him as she slowly approached the man. Angela flicked her hair backward and started flirting with him.

Richard frowned. He thought this was annoyingly amusing. More annoying than amusing though. What is she trying to do?

Angela held his arm and closed in on him. Richard tensed up, but then he felt her arm slithering into his pocket. He immediately held her hand and turned her arm behind her back, stopping her from stealing his phone.

“Ow, ow, ow. Let me go!” Angela was caught red-handed, and a stab of pain came from her hand.

“Don’t pull anything with me.” He snorted and pushed her away.

Angela rubbed her wrist and swung her arm around while shooting him an angry glare. “So heartless.”

He stared at her, feeling frustrated. She couldn’t have even gotten close if I had just been more careful. She almost got her hands on the phone.

Richard reflected on himself and decided he would never let this happen again. “I’ll cut off all your contact with the outside world from this minute on. I’ll get my men to protect your parents. You’re going to stay here.” He was going to leave again.

Angela stared at him. She decided to stop pulling any tricks and pleaded, “I know you want me safe, Richard. Thank you, really, but I can’t lose my boyfriend. Please, let me call him. I promise it won’t take long.”

Richard stopped in his tracks. He took a deep breath, and he turned around slowly, as if he had made a decision. He took his phone out and handed it to her.

Delighted, Angela went and took it from him. “Thank you.” She quickly called her boyfriend, waiting for him to pick up. Unbeknownst to her, Richard was staring at her, wondering if the decision he made was correct.

“Yes?” The call went through, and Dexter picked it up.

Angela heaved a sigh of relief. “Dexter? It’s me.”

“Angela? Where are you? I couldn’t get through to you.” Dexter sounded really worried.

“Don’t worry, I’m alright. I ran into some trouble, but I’ll see you again soon.”

“I’m sorry, Angela. I didn’t want to hurt you. I know you’re out of my league, so I pretended to date another girl so you’d leave me and find someone better, but I realized I still love you the most.”

She sat back down on the sofa and answered sweetly, “It’s alright. I understand. I don’t mind.”

Richard could see that Dexter was trying to sweet talk her even without hearing the conversation. And this dumb woman still believes him. She doesn’t know his true colors.

“I love you, Angela,” Dexter confessed lovingly.

“Okay, okay. I know. I love you too.” She smiled shyly, but then someone took the phone away.

She quickly turned around to face Richard. “Hey-”

Richard clicked into the video his team member sent him, and he tossed the phone to the sofa. He said, “Your boyfriend is a f*ckboy. He hooked up with a woman he just met right after he landed. He dates you for you. Wake the f*ck up.” your money, not

Angela’s eyes widened, then she heard the conversation coming from her phone. It was Dexter’s voice. “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.”

“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.” Angela heard the sound of smooching.

“Oh, we can’t do this here! Let’s get a room.”

Angela froze. She picked up the phone with trembling hands, and she stared at the screen. Dexter walked into the elevator with a woman in his arms, and they started making out even before they got into the room.

Angie shivered at the sight of that. She wanted to cry and scream, but she couldn’t. All she felt was fury in her heart. Her eyes were filled with tears of rage, and she bit her lip hard. She stared at the screen, but what she saw tortured her soul.

Richard looked at her calmly. I hope she’ll snap out of it after she sees what happens next. Don’t fall for him. He doesn’t deserve her.

Angela then saw Dexter take the woman into a room, while he went outside to take a call.

The room was quiet, and the volume was at maximum. Angela could hear everything Dexter was saying. “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.

Angela put the phone down in fury. She covered her face, and she was trembling. She couldn’t believe the man she deeply loved was only dating her for money. It was hard to believe that he was just pretending to be nice to her.

Richard watched as tears fell through the cracks between her fingers and soaked into the sofa. He frowned. Cheering someone up was not his forte. He never did anything like that before, but still he wanted to say something to her. “It’s good that you saw through him. Open your eyes the next time you look for a boyfriend. Don’t fall for the same tricks,” he said.

It didn’t work too well. Angela was just crying quietly, but now she was wailing. She looked up and let her tears fall, ignoring the fact that there was someone else around.

Richard looked at the tissue on the table. He went and took some for her.

Angela took them from him and dabbed her eyes. She spoke through sobs, “So it was all a lie. Everything he did for me was a lie. I thought he loved me more than Dad and Mom do, but he’s just a liar! A liar!”

Angela felt like dying, but she felt fortunate that she saw through Dexter. She just couldn’t accept that two years of her youth amounted to nothing in the end.

Richard pulled a few more tissues and handed it to her. He bent over to take his phone, but then he felt Angela hold him. She buried her head in his chest and bawled like a kid.

Richard froze. He spread his arms, but he couldn’t push her away.

Angela didn’t mean to hug him. The pain was just too overwhelming, and she wanted someone to hug. She was grateful to Richard for showing her Dexter’s true colors.

He also went out of the way to tell her that too. “I wanna kill that b*stard!” Angie cursed and thumped Richard’s chest. She was too mad to realize what she just did.

Richard was speechless. Hey, I’m not the guy who hurt you. Don’t take it out on me.

“He refused a study offer and took care of me when I was sick. He even cooked for me every day. I thought he was genuinely nice to me! Darn it!”
