Chapter 1001
“Are you taking your clothes off?” Angela could not help voicing out her curiosity.
Richard hummed sexily before asking, “Wanna see?”
“See what?” She could not understand.
“We can make a video call, so you can look at my body.” He offered without any charges.
Her breathing became slightly heavier. “Richard Llyod, cut it out.”
Where did his cold attitude and composure go?
He let out a chuckle. “Okay, I‘m going into the bathroom now. I‘ll let you see it some other day.”
In actuality, Angela could imagine his body vividly without taking a look at it. It was not like she had never sneaked a
few peaks in the base back then.
“Alright. Sleep early. Good night.” She then terminated the call before sprawling on the bed. Her stomach churned
with mixed feelings as she was feeling sorry toward Annie. Although the engagement had been called off, she could

When the morning came, Angela woke up and picked a stylish yet feminine coat to go to the company with
Daphne.
Today, Daphne would announce the news of Angela taking over her position in the shareholder meeting. In
hindsight, she replaced her usual demeanor with solemnity.
During the meeting, everyone treated her politely while masking their doubts in their gazes. After all, she was too
young in their eyes.
The billion–worth company was bestowed to a twenty–five–year–old woman; a sheer blunder in a significant
decision–making would incur a massive loss.
Even so, their notions did not go unnoticed by Angela. Despite the pressure, she was full of confidence; despite her
tender age, she had more time to learn and improve.
When the meeting was coming to an end, she took a glance at the time; it was 11:18AM. She looked at Daphne,
who was still speaking, and was already on tenterhooks as she looked forward to the lunch date with Richard.
“Okay. Angela, please give us a word or two.” Daphne cast her gaze onto Angela.
She rose to her feet and flashed a smile at the shareholders who were sitting along the long table. “Tm very
pleased to be here and it is my honor to be able to take over my mother‘s position. For the following days, I hope
you can believe in me, support me, and acknowledge me. Thank you.”
Daphne stared at her daughter with contentment. She was aware of the doubtful attitude of many shareholders
toward Angela‘s takeover, but she would definitely help her from behind the scenes in order to consolidate Angela‘s
position.
“That marks the end of today‘s meeting. You may disperse.”
Ancelo let out a silent sigh of relief. When she rose from her seat, Daphne called her. “Angela, let‘s have lunch
together somewhere else.”
“But, I have plans with my friend.”
“Nevermind, then.” Daphne nodded approvingly, for her daughter was expanding her social circles.
Angela exited the entrance to see a black SUV parked at the opposite street. Akin to a belligerent wild beast, the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhuge and black vehicle was as formidable as its owner.
She alternated her gaze from left to right before approaching the passenger seat gingerly to enter the car.
The man, who was on the driver seat, watched every single one of her expressions and amusement was evident in
his eyes. Her course of actions appeared adorable to him.
After hopping onto the passenger seat, Angela breathed a sigh of relief before turning to face the man who was
cladded in a black sweater. It seemed like he loved this kind of black sweater that fit his body perfectly. It displayed
his handsome and neat image of a tough guy. Angela was crazy over his fashion sense as well.
“Did I keep you waiting?” She brushed her hair to one side and smiled at him.
“I arrived not long ago.” Richard reached out his hand to the back seat to grab a bouquet of flowers for her. “This is
for you.”
It was then she was stunned for a moment. I didn‘t know this side of him. They‘re roses! I thought the word
‘romantic‘ was never in his vocabulary!
With a sweet expression, she accepted the lovely flowers as it lightened her mood.
“Did you pick them yourself?” She sniffed the flowers while asking him.
