However, at that moment, he turned his head sideways and shot glares at her, which were cold and sharp like the excalibur.
Her heart missed a beat in fear, for never once had she felt the gaze of a wild beast before. It was perilous yet tantalizing.
“Let’s go.” She could not sit still due to the surging fear and ultimately pulled her friends to leave the place.
While Angela was disappointed by how they left without finishing their food, Richard piped up, “Let’s not mind the strangers. We should dig in.”
Sharing the same notion, she felt that it was meaningless to waste time. Next, her gaze landed upon the steak on his plate, which seemed tastier than hers. She pointed at it. “I wanna have a bite of yours.”
He proffered her a small piece of meat to her mouth and she gladly chewed it. “Hmm. It is tastier than mine.”
“I’ll order another one for you,” he suggested.
“No. I want to have yours.” She was actually full, but she acted as though she wanted to snatch his food.
Angela was suddenly in the mood to poke fun at Richard again.
After finishing lunch, she checked on the time and it was 2.30PM. It was time for her to return to the company since there will be a meeting with a department that required her attendance.
As such, he drove her to the entrance of the company. Holding onto the bouquet of flowers, she suddenly hesitated. Should I bring it to the office? If I bring it along, Mom will know that I have a pursuer, though. If I don’t, I will have to throw it away, but he picked the flowers for me. I can’t do that.
After contemplating for a while, she hugged the flowers and alighted from the car before waving her hand at him. “Bye bye.”
Richard watched her off despite the heavy heart. It was not until she disappeared into a corner of the lobby that he started the car and left.
However, Daphne, who was about to get out of the car nearby, witnessed the whole scene: she saw her daughter
alighted from a mysterious, huge SUV with a bouquet in her hands. The person in the car seemed to be reluctant to let Angela go as he watched her leave.
Daphne was surprised, for she had not known that Angela started a new relationship again.
Who is he? What is his family background? Is he a greedy fraudster like Dexter?
She alighted from the car anxiously and made a dash to the office. At this moment, Angela already hid the flowers behind the curtains. Since her mother was not around, she decided to keep it a secret for as long as she could.
Even so, while she was going to peruse some documents on the couch, she noticed Daphne’s return and rose to her
feet. “Mom, you’re back.” Daphne’s stern gaze fixated upon Angela as she interrogated, “Angela, I saw a man sending you back. Tell me. Are you dating someone?”
Angela’s heart squeezed as she did not expect Daphne to see her getting out of Richard’s car.
“You were holding a bouquet of flowers too. Where did you hide it? Are you going to keep me in the dark?” Angela’s previous relationship had consigned Daphne into distress. Now, her anxiety was arising because she was worried that her precious daughter would encounter another deceiving, bad guy.
“Mom, don’t worry about it. He’s not a liar,” Angela comforted.
“Then, what is his name and what is his. job? Is he from a decent family? Since when did you start dating him?” Daphne bombarded Angela with a flow of questions.
