“I-I’ll see if I’m free.” Angela wasn’t in a good mood, so she didn’t want to ruin everything for Annie.
“Are you still thinking about Dexter?”
“He has already proposed to another woman. I don’t know.” Angela stared at the lights outside the
window with her eyes full of bitterness. No one could accept the devastation after being abandoned.
“Don’t be sad, Angela. Look on the bright side.”
“I get it, Ann. If I can’t attend your engagement, I’ll definitely attend your wedding.”
“Okay!” Annie answered happily.
After hanging up on the phone, Angela turned around and accidentally knocked her bag on the couch.
The bag fell onto the ground and a lipstick rolled out of it.
She looked at the lipstick and took her resentment toward her boyfriend’s betrayal onto the lip product.
Dexter had given it to her, and she had been using it for a long time since she wasn’t willing to change
it. Now, she didn’t want to see it anymore.
As such, she took the lipstick and walked to the balcony. After taking a deep breath, she closed her
eyes and threw that lipstick out of the window into the dark garden.
Even though the lipstick was thrown away, she was still feeling devastated. She squatted down and
covered her face, letting her tears fall out of her eyes. At that moment, she was waiting for a savior.
Who could save her? Who could save her broken heart?
All of a sudden, a loud thunder struck from the sky, and it was followed by a beam of lightning that
shone on her pale but beautiful face.
A storm was about to arrive. Soon, rain started pouring down from the sky on Averna.
In the corner of the garden, the lipstick that Angela had thrown just now lay there on the soft soil. A
shallow hole was made by the pouring rain, and the lipstick slipped into it and was covered by another
layer of soil.
At this moment, Angela had no idea what kind of secret was hidden in the lipstick that she had thrown
away in anger and that two groups of people were approaching her. One was to kill her, and the other
one was to save her. No one knew what was going to happen next.
In the morning, there was a tall man standing outside of the door of the Meyers Residence with a bag
in his hand. He pressed on the doorbell, and the maid came and asked him, “Are you the new
bodyguard?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your name?”
“Gideon Lambert,” the man said his name naturally.
“Please come in.” The maid let him in because she had received a notice yesterday about the new
bodyguard coming in today.
Inside the hall, Daphne was ready to head out when she saw the new bodyguard coming in. She was
momentarily stunned.
This bodyguard’s face and aura were much better than she expected. She was totally amazed by him.
“Hello, Mrs. Meyers. I’m Gideon Lambert. I was sent by Mr. Meyers to protect Miss Meyers,” the young
man greeted her respectfully.
“Hello, Mr. Lambert. I’ve heard from my husband. Well, my daughter is not in a good mood these days.
Please keep your eyes on her and don’t let her do anything stupid.” She studied him from head to toe
and actually felt that it might be a good choice to take him as her son-in-law.
“Sure. I’ll do everything in my power to protect your daughter and not let her be exposed to any
danger.” His low and calm voice gave her a sense of security.
