Not long later, Carlton sent the video to her, and Ariel lay on the bed and admired it repeatedly. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. Whenever she watched the video and felt Richard’s overbearing liking for Angela, her knees went weak when she imagined what it was like to be forcefully kissed by such a man.
Ariel didn’t dare to look for Angela at this moment. After all, she was still extremely afraid of Richard. He was just that complicated. He had a kind of charm that made every woman fall for him at a glance, but he also had a regal aura that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Even so, women always favored men like him, and every woman yearned to see him let down his guard and look at them gently and affectionately.
Angela returned to the room and sat on the bed with her knees in her arms, falling into a daze. She was still overwhelmed by a strong sense of guilt.
She thought that as she was about to go back soon, she was about to see Annie. Therefore, she had to stay away from Richard and erase everything that happened here. She was determined not to harm Annie.
Angela wasn’t aware of how long she spent in a daze and ended up forgetting about dinner. In the end, it was Trevor who knocked on her door to call her out.
“Miss Angela, it’s time for dinner. Come on out.”
Angela opened the door and looked at him with red eyes. “I don’t have an appetite. You can eat without me.”
“Should I ask the chefs to cook something simple for you?”
“It’s all right, thank you. I just want to rest.” Angela shook her head.
Trevor looked at her with a pained expression. “Did you argue with Mr. Richard?”
“No, we didn’t argue. Something just came up. Trevor, please tell the others that Captain Lloyd and I are just friends,” Angela instructed.
Trevor was a little surprised. It seemed things had gotten serious! Was Angela denying that she was in a relationship with Richard?
“Oh! Sure, I’ll tell them.” Trevor nodded. Then, due to his sharp eyes, he noticed that Angela’s face was unnaturally red and hurriedly asked, “Are you alright? Do you feel sick anywhere?”
“No, I’m fine.” Angela smiled. Just then, her head spun, causing her to grab onto the door frame before saying to Trevor, “I’m really fine. You don’t have to worry.”
“You look sick to me. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen ill!” Trevor continued to press her in concern.
“I’m completely fine. You should go and eat!” She shot him a smile, then closed the door.
Angela subconsciously touched her forehead, and the heat beneath her fingers startled her. It seemed that she was burning up. It must be because she had gotten wet in the rain, but it wasn’t a big deal, and it wasn’t serious either. Once she went to sleep and sweated it out, she would be fine.
When Trevor returned to the dining hall, he noticed that not only was Angela absent, but Richard was nowhere to be seen as well.
“Is Mr. Richard not coming too?” he asked.
“No. I think he’s not in a good mood,” Sean said with a shrug.
“I don’t know what happened to him and Miss Angela. Just now, Miss Angela told
me not to say anything unnecessary about their relationship in the future, and that they’re just friends.”
“Really? That must be because Mr. Richard hurt Miss Angela’s feelings.”
“That’s possible too. Mr. Richard has never understood a woman’s heart, so Miss Angela must not like people like him.”
“But, earlier I saw that Miss Angela’s complexion looked bad. It looked like she was sick, but she wasn’t willing to tell me either. I feel a little concerned,” Trevor said worriedly.
“Then you should tell Mr. Richard later! It’s best for him to handle things like this. We’re not the right man for the job,” Sean answered.
After Trevor finished dinner, he went to Richard’s room and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door, making it clear Richard was not inside.
Just then, a team member who was passing by explained, “Mr. Richard went to the security team earlier. I think he has something to discuss with them.”
