Her daughter’s hair and said, “Okay, get to bed early. You look so tired.”


    “Sure, | will. You should go to bed early as well.” Ang stood up and led her mom to the door. She went straight to her dressing


    room after closing her room door.


    Richard had already left the cab and was standing in the room when he realized the door was closed. Standing tall in the


    dressing room, he was ovee with emotion as he spoke to Ang, who had just entered the room. He mentioned,


    “Tomorrow, I''ll call Annie and tell her I’m breaking off our engagement.


    Richard didn’t want to dy it any longer.


    How are you going to tell her?” Ang’s chest tightened as she worried hisments would be harsh.


    “I''ll tell her the truth that I’m in love with another woman and convince her to call off the engagement.” He would never fabricate a


    story about his feelings.


    She looked at him calmly and replied, “Please, don’t mention that it’s me.”


    With a glimmer in his eyes, Richard nodded, hesitant yet kind, and said, “Alright, | promise.”


    “Try not to hurt Annie,” she pleaded.


    “That is unavoidable. But I''ll try to be as gentle as possible for you.” Of course, he would try to be nicer to Annie for the sake of


    Ang.


    She nodded. “Thank you.”


    Richard nced at her with a trace of disappointment as she remained silent.


    “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”


    “No. Please leave immediately, Captain Lloyd.” Ang restrained her emotions and requested him to leave.


    He suddenly stretched his arms and embraced her against his chest. She struggled a bit as he whispered in her ear with a deep


    voice, “Don’t worry. We have our whole future ahead of us.”


    Ang tilted her head up in surprise. Her eyes reflected some of the room’s light, and she hid her excitement about the future


    under those reflections.


    “Believe me.” Richard locked his gaze on her before turning around and leaving the room.


    “Let me take you out the front door, or you can even leave through the basement!” She called out to him because she didn’t want


    him to risk going out the same way he came in.


    “No need.” He went off the balcony and disappeared into one of the corners. She rushed over only to see his figure sliding on the


    thin pir and vanishing toward therge column. She was tensed by the thought, This man likes to take unexpected routes.


    Only at midnight that night had Ang been able to drift off to sleep. She heard her phone ring and answered the call after


    stretching her hand to get the phone. “Hello.”


    “Ang, Richard wants to meet me! Goodness! He asked me out!” Annie eximed enthusiastically.


    She was awakened by Annie’s enthusiastic voice, and she immediately opened her eyes and sat in bed. Then, Annie asked,


    “What shall | wear? Shall | apply heavy makeup, or will light makeup suffice... Ang, do you know him? Tell me how to dress to


    make an impression on him!”


    Ang answered calmly, “Annie, it’s fine if you just dress normally.”


    “Ang, I’m hanging up now. | must be at the restaurant by eleven-thirty, so | must get ready now.” Saying that, Annie ended the


    call.


    Ang looked at the time while fixing her unruly hair and saw that it was 8.30AM. She got up and prepared herself because she


    had promised her mom to apany her to thepany. She eventually decided on a professional looking suit as her outfit for


    the day.


    Daphne was already waiting downstairs for Ang. After finishing their breakfast, the two of them headed for thepany.


    Although her mom only managed a few dozen real estate properties, she built her business gradually due to her steady and


    consistent approach to business. As a result, thepany’s business performance and reputation were outstanding.
