“Is there something even more important than your life?” Richard questioned as he walked toward the conference building.


    Ang trotted to keep up with him. “Yes. It’s more important than my life.”


    Richard turned his head and nced at her.


    “| want to talk to my boyfriend on the phone. You don’t know how important this rtionship is to me. Losing him is like losing my


    life,” Ang uttered seriously.


    Richard gave her another inexplicable look.


    “Do you understand what I’m saying? Do you understand how | feel?” Ang was getting even more anxious now, and then she


    suddenly took a breath and huffed angrily, “How can a dummy like you understand? You must have never been in a rtionship!”


    “How do you know that | haven’t?”


    Richard retorted with his lips pursed.


    “Of course, | know! I’m a woman. No woman would fall for someone as rude and blunt as you!” Angined angrily.


    Instead, Richard sneered at her, “Does that mean a hopeless romantic like you who can’t live without a man is more lovable?”


    Ang’s face turned crimson at his statement. How dare he judge her like that?! Biting her lip, she blustered, “I don’t care. | want


    to be connected to the Inte for an hour. Do it for me right now.”


    “Not even a second,” Richard insisted with a cold expression and was about to leave.


    Ang immediately clenched her teeth. stepped forward, and blocked his way with her arms extended. “You''re not going


    anywhere before | get connected.”


    Richard did not take her seriously.


    Immediately, he strode toward her.


    thinking that she would leave.


    Who knew that instead of avoiding him. he mmed into her? All of a sudden, they were almost touching each other under the


    lights.


    He instantly felt a mass on his chest. Ang raised her face that had blushed the shade of a rose, yet she was stubborn. When


    she realized what he had just done, she quickly took a step back.


    “How dare you take advantage of me?!” She gritted her teeth.


    “I''m not interested in you,” Richard replied unceremoniously.


    “| don’t need you to be interested in me either. Lend me your phone. | want to call my boyfriend.” Ang could still use his phone


    if she could not use hers.


    “No.” Richard looked disgusted. He did not want to lend her his phone so that she could flirt with another guy over the phone!


    “Five minutes will do.” Ang softened because she realized that this man was tougher than her.


    She’s gonna follow me everywhere if | don’t say yes, and | have a meeting to attend now. He took his phone out. Two minutes.


    That''s the best | can do.”


    Ang took his phone quietly and called her boyfriend right away. She wanted to talk to him, and the call went through. but


    Dexter didn’t pick up. “C’mon, pick up. What are you doing, Dexter? You should''ve already gotten off the ne,” she muttered


    under her breath.


    The call ended, and she made another one, but Dexter still didn’t pick up. Richard was starting to get annoyed. “Give me the


    phone.”N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “One minute. Just one more minute, please.” Ang made another call, but nobody picked up. Disappointed, she heaved a long


    sigh. For some reason, she teared up. She missed Dexter a lot, and she tried her best to contact him, but the fact that he didn’t


    pick up hurt her.


    Richard stared at her, and he frowned. “That''s the guy you''d die for?” He couldn''t believe she was going to cry.


    She noticed the mockery, and she bit her lip. “You have no idea what love is like. It’s a waste of time talking to you. You''ll know


    how | feel when you fall in love with someone. She turned away, and tears fell down her cheeks. Ang wiped them away


    awkwardly and went in the opposite direction.


    She looked forlorn and lonely, especially under the dim light.
