Chapter 992
Richard didn‘t want to delay it any longer.
“How are you going to tell her?” Angela‘s chest tightened as she worried his comments would be harsh.
“I‘ll tell her the truth that I‘m in love with another woman and convince her to call off the engagement.” He would
never fabricate a story about his feelings.
She looked at him calmly and replied, “Please, don‘t mention that it‘s me.”
With a glimmer in his eyes, Richard nodded, hesitant yet kind, and said, “Alright, I promise.”
“Try not to hurt Annie,” she pleaded.
“That is unavoidable. But I‘ll try to be as gentle as possible for you.” Of course, he would try to be nicer to Annie for
the sake of Angela.
She nodded. “Thank you.”

to me?”
“No. Please leave immediately, Captain Lloyd.” Angela restrained her emotions and requested him to leave.
He suddenly stretched his arms and embraced her against his chest. She struggled a bit as he whispered in her ear
with a deep voice, “Don‘t worry. We have our whole future ahead of us.”
Angela tilted her head up in surprise. Her eyes reflected some of the room‘s light, and she hid her excitement
about the future under those reflections.
“Believe me.” Richard locked his gaze on her before turning around and leaving the room.
“Let me take you out the front door, or you can even leave through the basement!” She called out to him because
she didn‘t want him to risk going out the same way he came in.
“No need.” He went off the balcony and disappeared into one of the corners. She rushed over only to see his figure
sliding on the thin pillar and vanishing toward the large column. She was tensed by the thought, This man likes to
take unexpected routes.
Only at midnight that night had Angela been able to drift off to sleep. She heard her
phone ring and answered the call after stretching her hand to get the phone. “Hello.”
“Angela, Richard wants to meet me! Goodness! He asked me out!” Annie exclaimed enthusiastically.
She was awakened by Annie‘s enthusiastic voice, and she immediately opened her eyes and sat in bed. Then, Annie
asked, “What shall I wear? Shall I apply heavy makeup, or will light makeup suffice... Angela, do you know him? Tell
me how to dress to make an impression on him!”
Angela answered calmly, “Annie, it‘s fine if you just dress normally.”
“Angela, I‘m hanging up now. I must be at the restaurant by eleven–thirty, so I must get ready now.” Saying that,
Annie ended the call.
Angela looked at the time while fixing her unruly hair and saw that it was 8.30AM. She got up and prepared herself
because she had promised her mom to accompany her to the company. She eventually decided on a professional–

Daphne was already waiting downstairs for Angela. After finishing their breakfast, the two of them headed for the
company. Although her mom only managed a few dozen real estate properties, she built her business gradually due
to her steady and consistent approach to business. As a result, the company‘s business performance and
reputation were outstanding.
She accompanied her mom to the company, where everyone treated her with respect because they all knew she
was the company‘s successor. After showing her around the various departments, Daphne led her into a
conference room. Angela discreetly glanced at her watch as she listened in on the conference where her mom and
the shareholders discussed the company‘s plans. It was already 11.00AM. She became nervous out of nowhere with
a guilty conscience. She hoped Annie could accept the breakup of their engagement without being hurt.
11.30AM.
Annie arrived on time at a particular restaurant and was already at the restaurant‘s entrance. She chose attractive
feminine clothing to present her best self in front of Richard with light and delicate makeup for their date. Any
woman would want to look her absolute best while meeting a man she has her eyes on.
Annie finally encountered the man at the table next to the window for the second time. He sat there with the sun
streaming through the window, looking like a gorgeous sculpture, radiating its attractiveness and masculinity.
