She soon realized that there was just a public bathhouse available. Ariel must have inquired around and discovered that Angela was taking her shower in Richard’s room, which was why she also wanted to use it. She was possessive and didn’t want any other woman to enter Richard’s room but her.
“No, it would be inconvenient,” Richard said dismissively..
“Captain Lloyd, I heard Miss Meyers showers here as well. Please allow me to utilize it. You let her use your bathroom, so please let me as well. After all, I’m a girl, and using the public bathhouse would be dangerous.”
“It’s very safe here,” Richard instantly rebutted.
“Captain Lloyd, you should be fair to me as well. I promise I’ll just take a shower here and not do anything else. After I take a shower, I’ll return to my room.” Ariel’s voice sounded quite pitiful as she pleaded.
Meanwhile, Angela, who was seated on the couch, could no longer stand it and stood up abruptly to head to the door. Richard had originally left a gap in the door so that Ariel wouldn’t be able to see her in the room. Nonetheless, she emerged unexpectedly right in front of Ariel. “Miss Graham, it isn’t convenient at all, alright?” Angela spoke with a smile.
At the moment, Ariel blushed, and she clearly didn’t expect Angela to be inside his room. She smiled forcefully and asked, “Miss Meyers, why would it be inconvenient? We’re both girls, so you should be sympathetic to my predicament, right?”
She thought to herself, Richard’s the owner of this room. Angela doesn’t have the right to stop me from using the bathroom!
“I am sympathetic to your predicament, but I can’t let you use the bathroom.”
“Why are you allowed to use it, but not me? Captain Lloyd gets to make the decision?” Ariel couldn’t control her emotions, and her tone was quite provoking.
Angela blinked and reached out to affectionately cling to Richard’s arm. She then turned her face toward his shoulders and said, “Because I’m his girlfriend, I’m obviously allowed to use the bathroom. Miss Graham, don’t you realize we’re in a relationship?”
Ariel’s eyes widened as she was stunned beyond words. Oh, no! Angela got ahead of me and won Richard’s heart.
“I-Is that so?” she replied awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Angela gave a firm nod. “Yes. So, Miss Graham, you should shower somewhere else. Don’t interrupt my
boyfriend and me while we enjoy our evening together.”
Angela reached out to close the door after saying that. She noticed Ariel had a slinky nightgown draped over her arms and was obviously here under the guise of taking a shower. Nonetheless, she intended to use this opportunity to seduce Richard.
This man will be a source of concern for me in the future!
The door closed behind them, but Angela clung to his hand and refused to let go. She smiled at him as she lifted her head. “I hope you don’t mind that I ruined your love prospects.”
“When did you become my girlfriend? Why wasn’t I made aware of this?” Richard asked with his eyes narrowed.
She tilted her head and smiled. “Didn’t you know I became your girlfriend tonight?”
He was momentarily speechless.
She noticed that he did not respond, and she couldn’t help but chuckle, “If you remain silent, then I’ll just assume that you’ve agreed to that.”
Angela happily let go of the arm she was clutching and said to him, “Captain Lloyd, do you have any snacks? I’m hungry.”
He didn’t have any snacks in his room, but he could arrange for the kitchen staff to prepare something for her if she so desired. “What would you like to have?”
“I wasn’t satiated during dinner time, so I wanted something piping hot. Can I have some instant noodles?” Angela asked.
“Hold on.” Richard then took his cell phone and dialed a number before telling the person on the other end, “Once you get the noodles ready, just send it to my room.”
She asked out of curiosity, “Who did you call?”
Just be patient, and your meal will be ready soon.” He didn’t bother to answer her question.
At that moment, Angela felt a warm, fuzzy feeling rise within her. He may be a man of a few words, but he’s very efficient in his ways and full of patience for me too.
Meanwhile, Ariel went outside the door to the public bathhouse to take a shower before returning to her room. She was still extremely frustrated. Angela’s earlier words were grating on her ears, and Angela seemed gloating about her success, which made Ariel uncomfortable.
Her upbringing fostered a competitive streak and her determination to pursue whatever she desired, be it a position or a man. She would give it a shot as long as she was interested.
“Angela Meyers, you shouldn’t be so arrogant. Perhaps one day, your man will be mine.” Ariel gazed at herself in the mirror and revealed a smug and self assured grin under the light..
