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
