Removing his outerwear, he revealed the dark-colored vest and white shirt underneath it.
They defined his enticing waist line perfectly whereas the long pants were covering his long and slender legs.
“Have you eaten?” asked Scarlet caringly.

“I've just received news that Richard has hacked into the dark web and obtained a lot of information. think he’s going to take action on his own.” “What?!” Color drained from her face and her eyes reddened.
“He hasn't given up, has he?” “Scarlet, why don’t we just let him join the mission?” ‘Is there any other way to dissuade him?” She still held onto the hope that her son would not join this mission, for the worry that he might lose his rationality and risk his life inst to kill the person whom had murdered his father.
It would put him in danger too.
“There's nothing we can do to stop him for now.I’'ve met Old Master Lloyd and he wants Richard to make his own decision. He won't intervene.” “He knows Richard best. It’s useless to stop him. Scarlet sighed before looking at her brother.
“Ren, please help him.” Knowing exactly what she meant by that, he nodded.
“I'll do everything in my power to help him.” “And one more thing-Richard has a girlfriend. You should transfer him to another department, so he won't have any mission abroad. He can at least stay in the country that way.” “Leave it to me.” Having said that, he smiled. “He got himself a girlfriend?” She cast her gaze onto him. “Look. Even. Richard is dating. Don’t you think that you should make seffort? Work is important and so is marriage.” “I'm busy with work. It's not the tfor that yet.” It was a downright refusal.
“There you go again.” Scarlet then showed him the pictures. “This is her. Isn't she pretty?” He took a closer look at them. “Hmm. She is.” Suddenly, she thought of something as she announced, “I wanna invite her to the dinner party this Friday.” Meanwhile, a sleepless Angela was tossing and turning in the quiet bedroom. It was as if the suppressed feelings she had for Richard were surging in her like a waterfall, pushing her timid heart forward.
Semotions grew stronger the longer they were smothered; like a fettered beast, they would pounce out of the cage abruptly once they seized the chance.
Lying in bed, she took her phone and tried to rein back her emotions after which she ended up dialing the man’s number.

I'm just asking. I'm glad that you're hnow. Bye!” Angela was too shy to talk to him any longer. It was like she missed speaking to him so much.
“Are you free tomorrow? I'll buy you a meal,” Richard inquired in a low voice.
“| gotta go to my mother’s company for a shareholder meeting. It's compulsory forto join them, but | can dine out for lunch.” “Great. I'll pick you up in the afternoon.” “I'll drive myself there. We can’t let my mother see you.” “Why? Am | not presentable enough?” He huffed.
She chuckled. “It’s not like that.” At the thought of her mother’s comment of him, she was at her wit’s ends although it was just her mother trying to comfort Jennifer.
“What are you doing?” “I'm in bed and I'm going to sleep,” she answered honestly.
“Do you miss me?” “Nope,” denied Angela.
