Chapter 998


    She apanied her mom to thepany, where everyone treated her with respect because they all


    knew she was thepany’s sessor. After showing her around the various departments, Daphne


    led her into a conference room.


    Ang discreetly nced at her watch as she listened in on the conference where her mom and the


    shareholders discussed thepany’s ns. It was already 11.00AM. She became nervous out of


    nowhere with a guilty conscience. She hoped Annie could ept the breakup of their engagement


    without being hurt. 11.30AM.


    Annie arrived on time at a particr restaurant and was already at the restaurant’s entrance. She


    chose attractive feminine clothing to present her best self in front of Richard with light and delicate


    makeup for their date. Any woman would want to look her absolute best while meeting a man she has


    her eyes on.


    Annie finally encountered the man at the table next to the window for the second time. He sat there


    with the sun streaming through the window, looking like a gorgeous sculpture, radiating its


    attractiveness and masculinity.


    Annie admired and worshiped Richard from the bottom of her heart since he had a significant presence


    that drew admiration from those around him. She went to see him alone, her breathing hastened with


    her hands sped tightly. “Richard.” She greeted the man before taking a seat in front of him.


    Breaking away from his thoughts, he gazed at her, who pursed her lips and turned her eyes away since


    she didn’t dare to look at him. “You’vee.” He returned her greeting while handing her the menu.


    “Let’s order.”


    “You do it. I’m not particr about my food,” Annie replied shyly.


    Richard beckoned the waiter and, after considerable thought, chose four dishes. After cing his order,


    he poured a cup of tea for her.


    She leaped to her feet. “I can do it on my own.”


    “Ms. Annie, I have something personal to say to you,” he said as courteously as he could.


    “Go ahead.” Annie wanted to hear what he had to say as she blinked expectantly at him.


    “I want to cancel our engagement,” Richard remarked, his gaze fixed on her.


    The cup held by Annie dropped to the table with a loud crash. Fortunately, it only caused a tiny spige,


    and the cup remained intact. She trembled, staring at the table because she had not expected him to


    break off their engagement after inviting her out. “Why?” She felt an incredible amount of grief, and


    despair overcame her.


    “I’m sorry. I have someone else I like.” Richard frowned. He didn’t know how to tell her politely, so she


    was bound to be hurt.


    “But why didn’t you tell me at the dinner partyst time? Perhaps you should have said that you already


    have someone in your heart at that time. I wouldn’t have…” Annie made a sorrowful expression with


    her lips puckered. She had experienced a bitter unrequited love in just three months. Ultimately, their


    engagement was canceled, which was hard for her to ept.


    Things were unpredictable, as usual. His love life was still empty at thest dinner party. However, after


    barely three months, a woman had wholly captured his heart. “I’m sorry.” He apologized to her.


    She raised her head, her eyes reddening, and asked, “What type of woman is she? Is she more


    talented than I am? Is she better than me?” She couldn’t admit she wasn’t as good as thedy Richard


    adored. Annie also considered herself a good choice as she was a confident and cheerful woman.


    He said hushedly, “She’s not a woman with many talents, but in my heart, no one can rece her.”

    Annie reached for the tissues next to her and dabbed her eyes with them as tears slid down her cheek.


    The waiter arrived and served their food. Richard watched her body tremble without touching the food


    and sobbing as he attempted tofort her. “I believe you will meet a man who is better than me.”
