“Captain Lloyd?” Ariel muttered to herself. At this precise moment, she noticed Captain Lloyd and his seniors were approaching, and she couldn’t help but tuck her long hair, trying to look as attractive as possible while showing her amorous advances.
Richard, on the other hand, paid no attention to her. As a result, when he passed by, she called out to him, ‘Captain Lloyd.”
As he heard someone addressing him, he turned to face her. Her heart raced even faster when she met his gaze. His gaze was both authoritative and powerful, piercing her to the core.
“Are you new here?” Richard inquired.
“Yes. I recently relocated here with my colleague.”
Richard’s senior, who stood next to him..
had received the notice ahead of time and explained, ‘Oh right! They were brought here and will stay here for a while.”
Richard nodded as he continued his conversation with his superior. On the other hand, Ariel was captivated by him as he walked away.
She used to think that men in suits and leather shoes were the most attractive, but now she believed that camouflage clothing was the best-looking.
“He’s so handsome!” Ariel couldn’t stop herself from complimenting Richard.
At this point, Ariel noticed a figure who didn’t belong there: a petite girl walking down the corridor, dressed casually in sportswear and with her long hair untied. She appeared exhausted and sluggish.
Ariel’s eyes narrowed at the girl calculatingly. What is such a lovely lady doing here?
Beautiful women were natural enemies. Ariel was already hostile and jealous when she first saw this girl.
Carlton came over to cheer her up with her favorite snacks when she returned to her room, as he knew that Ariel was upset.
As soon as he knocked on the door, Ariel, who was in a good mood, opened the door for him. Her face was bright and cheerful, with no trace of sadness.
“Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?” Carlton asked, surprised.
“Take a guess,” she responded as she pursed her lips.
“Didn’t you despise it here?”
“I simply dislike this place, but I didn’t say anything about the people here. I just met the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in my whole life.” She clasped her hands and placed them on her chest, and her lovely eyes twinkled. It was as if this place was her hunting ground, and she would prey on the most powerful beast.
Carlton looked at her with suspicion. He had grown to know her personality over the three years they had worked together. She only looked at the wealthy, and she would only marry the affluent. Yet, she desired to marry into a wealthy family because she was an ordinary girl. How could she possibly meet her true love in
such a secluded area?
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah! I saw the most attractive man I’ve ever seen. He’s not only gorgeous but also very noble. He appears to be the son of a wealthy family. You must assist me in pursuing him, Carlton.” With a commanding tone, Ariel instructed him.
She was Carlton’s superior as he was merely her assistant and subordinate. Furthermore, Carlton, who appeared innocent and gentle, had a weak personality, which made him easy to manipulate.
“Okay! I’ll try my best,’ he said politely. To be frank, he had feelings for Ariel, but she never noticed him.
Ariel underwent plastic surgery to transform her ordinary facial features into a stunning face. With her sexy physique, she knew that she made heads turn whenever she went out.
Even now, she considers herself a great beauty, screening and selecting men from all over the world in the hopes of finding someone who would make her wealthy for the rest of her life.
On the other hand, Angela went back to her room. Her muscles were aching from today’s training, which made her entire body scream.
She stared at the ceiling, remembering how Richard had taken the initiative to hug her today. His embrace had a calming effect on her. While she repeated the scene in her head over and over, she became frustrated and wondered if other women would fall in love with him if he hugged them the way she hugged him.
