“It''s our job.” He was happy that she was starting to be cooperative. He had no time to take care of her, so he needed her to be


    in his vicinity.


    She was starting to feel cold, and she wanted to go back to her room. She heard squeaks when she was going past Richard,


    and she looked down, only to see a couple of mice run past her feet. Ascream arced through the night, and Ang leaped into


    the air. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs were locked around his waist so she wouldn''t fall. She was hanging


    on him like a ko bar.


    Richard reflexively held her hips to keep her from falling down. The air froze for a few moments, and he asked, “How much


    longer are you doing this?”


    Only then did Ang realize she was. hugging him. She coughed awkwardly and let go of his neck, then she jumped


    down. At the same time, she looked at him closely for the first time. He had a chiseled, handsome face. His brows were sharp,


    his eyes were deep-set, and his


    nose was aquiline. His lips were thin but sexy, and he had a perfect jawline that drew people’s eyes down to his neck. He


    radiated manliness everywhere. He also had an aloof air about him, and his eyes seemed unfathomable.


    Richard left before she could finish staring, and she followed him, worried she might run into more mice. This was a dramatic day


    in her life. She went through a life-and-death situation and had her heart broken just in one day.


    Richard went to the Meyers’ ce the next morning. He was sitting on the sofa, facing the Meyers couple. Richard told them


    what happened, and they were horrified. They couldn''t believe their daughter was dragged into something so dangerous by


    chance.


    “Is she hurt, Mr. Lloyd?” Daphne asked quickly.


    “She scratched her forehead, but otherwise she’s well. You can’t see her for now, though. Maybe it''llst for six months. Maybe a


    year. Leave her to us. We''ll take care of her,” Richard said calmly.


    “We trust you. Please take care of our daughter, and sorry for the trouble.” Gilbert was understanding.


    “She’s not easy to get along with, so please bear with her. She’s used to the nice life. Please forgive her if she did anything


    wrong.” Daphne knew her daughter was a handful.


    “She''ll work with me. Don’t worry about it.”


    ‘Good. I''ll prepare her clothes. Please take them to her for me.” Daphne then went upstairs.


    Gilbert looked at the young man before him. Hemented, “I’ve seen you when you were a kid, back at your Grandpa’s house.


    Time flies.”


    “Yeah. | remember you too, Mr. Meyers.”


    ‘| heard you got engaged to Annie. Congrats. Sorry | couldn’te. | had something to do.”


    Richard nodded in understanding. He didn’t want to talk about this too much.


    “Please take care of Ang. Her mother and | owe her a lot. We didn’t take good care of her, and now we can’t help her even


    when she’s in trouble.” Gilbert sighed. He felt really guilty for this.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “I''ll do my best.”


    “Tell her we love her very much. Tell her to be brave. We''ll help in the search as well.”


    “Of course, Mr. Meyers.” Richard nodded. Just then, his underling reported the progress of the search in the yard. They''ve dug


    up everywhere, but there were still no signs of the lipstick. The rainstorm that night might have washed it into the ditch, so they


    had to search underground now. It was a big search, but the lipstick was worth it, and they had to find it. It contained top secret


    information.
