“What? Is she hurt?” “I’m not too sure, but she definitely looks wet from head to toe.”
The next second, Richard sprang up from his seat and opened the door, leaving the meeting room in a
hurry. In the meantime, his subordinates were left wondering where he was going as they exchanged
gazes with each other.
Angela went into Richard’s room with her clothes in her arms. She hurriedly turned. on the shower
because she felt extremely cold as it was fall now.
Richard pushed the door to his room and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. He
didn’t have to ask to guess who was inside, so he exited the room and continued back in the direction
of the conference room.
After Angela showered, she felt that her whole body was warm, and she simply sat in Richard’s room
and read a book as if his room was hers.
At noon, she went to the dining hall. After she had prepared her meal, she sat down at the table where
Trevor and the others. were sitting. Richard also sat down right. across from Angela..
“Miss Angela, I heard that you fell into the water this morning. What happened?” Trevor asked
curiously.
“Ugh, let’s not talk about it. I fell into the spring behind the mountain.” After Angela finished speaking,
she glanced at the man sitting directly opposite her.
“How did you fall? Did you slip?”
“No, there was such a big fish in that spring. I wanted to catch it, but I slipped and fell instead. Boohoo!”
Angela recounted the events with a depressed expression.
Jared almost burst into laughter from the side, but fortunately, he controlled it.
“Sean, do you have time in the afternoon? Let’s find a fishing net. We’ll go and get that fish back, shall
we?” Angela asked Sean.
Sean nodded almost without hesitation. “Okay! Let’s do it.”
Seeing that he readily agreed, Angela smiled happily. “Well, it’s settled.” Trevor and Jared looked at
each other. Sure enough, Angela was interested in Sean. At this moment, the man opposite Angela
said, “My subordinates don’t have time to accompany you to fool around.”
“Boss, I do-” Before Sean finished speaking, he met a pair of seriously cold eyes, and his words were
forced back into his throat.
Angela blinked. “I am only borrowing them for half an hour.”
“It’s not a matter of time; they can’t lose their discipline, and they shouldn’t spend their time on things
outside of work.” Richard’s eyes were cold; he looked like he would not be easy to deal with.
The other three felt that there was something wrong with the boss’ emotions.
Angela couldn’t help but choke, after which she had no choice but to turn to Sean. “Sean, can you find
me a fishing net after this? I’ll go by myself.”
‘No problem. I remember there is one in the tool room.” Sean was very happy to help her.
“Angela, is it fine for you to go alone?”
“Of course, there’s no problem! Don’t underestimate me. I swear to bring that fish back to make soup.”
Angela was determined to get the fish.
This time, Jared couldn’t hold back his laughter. Trevor quickly tugged on Jared’s clothes to stop him.
Angela also laughed. “Just wait and see! I will definitely get it back.””
“Miss Angela, we believe in your ability,” Trevor hurriedly chimed in. After the meal, Sean found her a
light and functioning fishing net in no time.
Angela decided to set off after taking a break.
After the meal, everyone on the base performed their duties. Angela was the most leisurely person
among them. She changed into sports attire, picked up the fishing net, and
went out.
The scenery along the way was picturesque, with gold and orange leaves carpeting the ground. Fall
was, beyond a doubt, a perfect time for outdoor activities.
In the conference room, there were four people who were working obediently.
Trevor suddenly had a whim and glanced at Jared and Sean. “The boss isn’t here, so should we sneak
out to help her with the fish?”
Jared was the most playful and was the first to raise his hand in approval. “Okay, okay! I like doing this
kind of thing the most.”
Sean also felt that he could be lazy today. “Okay, let’s go!”
Only Willy was sticking to his post. He told them, “Make it quick, alright? I’ll cover for you all in the
meantime.”
“Okay, Willy. You’re my best pal!” Trevor patted Willy on the shoulder, and the three of them hurriedly
opened the door of the conference room.
