“Was Miss Meyers in a bad mood?” Willy asked as well.
In the room, Richard, who had been quietly eating his breakfast, suddenly got up and left.
The four men immediately looked at their captain, who had just sat down.
“Captain must be going to look for Ñ.Övel.Ë.book her!”
“I think he might have broken Miss Meyers’ heart last night. When I met her this morning, she said that
Captain was too good for her and that she wasn’t worthy of him.
“How could she not be worthy? There are so many men after her,” Sean defended Angela.
Willy, who was usually a man of few words, saw the bigger picture and gave the other three a blank
look. “What do you guys know? Look at what we’re doing. We’re all protecting Miss Meyers, even the
Captain.
So, how can he talk about his feelings here? It’s precisely because he wanted to protect and ensure
that Miss Meyers is completely safe that he did not allow his personal affairs to affect his reasoning and
judgment.”
“That’s right. I seem to remember hearing from Richard that having a woman will affect his job
efficiency.”
“That makes sense. So, it’s not that the Captain doesn’t like Miss Meyers. He just doesn’t want to date
her at the moment since we’re working. I understand now.”
“It is also our top priority to keep Miss Meyers safe. But don’t forget that great danger lurks behind her.
So, we cannot take things lightly,” Willy reminded.
At this moment, the other three suddenly felt a rush of enlightenment through their mind.
The fog next to the mountain was still thick, clouding her view. Angela was in a daze when she heard
footsteps approaching her. She turned her head and looked at the foggy path as her heart tightened.
Who was that?
Just as she was about to call out and ask, she noticed a tall, straight figure breaking out of the fog.
Who else could it be other than Richard?
This made her frown. Why did he come
looking for her?
However, her heart still hammered in her chest when she saw that he was here; she couldn’t help but
gently press her palm against her chest. Calm down.
“Don’t stay out here too long. It’s not safe,” Richard approached and reminded her.
Angela nodded obediently. “Okay. I know. I’ll go back now.”
He stood there momentarily and noticed that she did not move, so he suggested, “I’ll walk you back.”
“No, it’s okay. Thank you. I want to sit down here a while longer. Captain Lloyd, don’t waste your time
here. Go do what you have to do,” she answered politely.
Richard stared at her with deep eyes. He knew why Angela’s attitude had changed. He knew that last
night’s rejection made her keep a distance from him.
“You don’t have to worry about what you said last night.” He frowned, obviously not liking her
politeness.
She blinked at him as she pulled her long hair that had been scattered on the side of her chest back.
Her hair was as black as ink, making her small face extremely fair. Even her ears were fair and
delicate.
“I should be the one apologizing, Captain Lloyd. I’ve not been sensible. I kept bothering you. Please
don’t take it to heart. I know how to behave from now on, and I will not offend you again
Ñ.Övel.Ë.book,” Angela said sincerely; she had figured out last night that feelings couldn’t be forced.
Richard’s face turned a little gloomy for some reason, and he turned around, ready to leave.
She watched his back with a bit of disappointment in her heart. Just as she was about to fall into a
trance, he turned around and stared right at her with his dark eyes.
Angela did not get to withdraw her gaze in time and quickly lowered her head in a panic to avoid his.
“We’ll go back together,” he ordered.
When she heard his commanding tone, she stood up reluctantly, walked past him, and took the lead to
head back.
