Chapter 860
Dexter was dressed expensively, and he was young and handsome, so he was naturally alluring to women. He told
the lady to go into the room, while he came back out to take a call. Everyone could hear the conversation. “How
many times do I have to tell you, Mom? Look at the big picture. I want everything. I‘ll give Angela‘s mother the
money back. That old hag is a billionaire! I can just marry Angela and take over her parents‘ business. I‘m not going
to back out just like this. Ah, don‘t worry. Angela can‘t live without me. She does everything I tell her to. I spent all
my time making her fall for me. I know how much she loves me. Yeah, I know what I‘m doing. Talk to you later,
Mom. I have something urgent to handle.”
Someone opened the door, and out came the woman in a bathrobe. She looked a little miffed that Dexter was still
on the phone, and she pulled him. “Looks like someone cares about a little call more than me.”

The men in the conference room felt a little jealous. Why does a f*ckboy like him get girls, while we can’t even get
a girlfriend?
Everyone was still immersed in the footage, but someone broke their train of thoughts. “Give me a copy of the
video.”
“Wait. Are you giving that to Miss Meyers? I don‘t think that‘s a good idea. It‘ll break her heart.”
“Just give it to me.” Richard stared at the screen. He was reminded of what Angela told him earlier. He wasn‘t that
close to her, but he thought it was a waste of her
time spending all her life on someone like Dexter. This was just a friendly reminder for her to move on. He told his
underlings, “And look into everyone whom Dexter has talked to for the past two years. I want them first thing next
morning.” He left, and his team members looked at one another.
“Wow. First time the captain cares about someone so much. Does he like her?”
“Well, she is beautiful. I can see why he likes her.”
“So is she gonna be his wife?”
“Maybe.”
“We‘d better be nice to her then. Maybe the captain won‘t kill us if we make any mistakes next time. She can help
us out.”
Their conversation was cut short, as the air itself froze. They could feel someone looking at them from the
doorstep, so they turned around. Much to their shock, Richard had come back right after he left, and he was
looking at them coldly.
“Ahem. I mean the captain won‘t fall for Miss Meyers. He doesn‘t like getting into any relationships. That‘s

“That‘s right! The captain‘s not getting into any relationship. It‘s gonna get in the way of his work. We gotta learn
from him. Let‘s not waste our time on relationships
and spend all of it on work.”
“Miss Meyers isn‘t that beautiful. She‘s just pretty.”
Richard went to his desk and picked a file up. He said icily, “If I hear you guys talking nonsense again, you‘re getting
a ten–mile run tomorrow morning.” He left and closed the door.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The captain‘s getting really stealthy lately. We gotta keep our mouths shut.
Angela was in her room. She had finished showering and just changed into her pajamas. She was still wondering
why Dexter wouldn‘t take her call. What on earth is he doing?
