Chapter 58


    Seeing Keh remain silent, Ang didn''t press further and left after changing her shoes.


    Upon arriving at the café where she had agreed to meet Brenda, Ang walked briskly and sat down opposite Brenda.


    "Ang, what''s the hurry in meeting me today?" Ang asked.


    Brenda replied, "Ang, my family set me up on a blind date, but I''m busy this afternoon. So, I was hoping you could go meet the guy in my ce."


    Ang nearly spat out her coffee in shock, thinking, ''She wants me to go on a blind date for her?''


    After swallowing her coffee with difficulty, Ang looked at Brenda and asked, "Are you sure you''re not joking?"


    "Of course not. My dear Ang, please help me out! My matter this afternoon is really important!" Brenda pleaded.


    Ang pondered for a moment and then raised an eyebrow. "I can help you, but what''s in it for me?"


    "What do you want?"


    "I''m leaving Lithoria next weekend and might not be back until the weekend after. While I''m gone, I want you to take care of my work."


    Ang wasn''t keen on returning to a desk piled high with paperwork, only to end up workingte to tackle it.


    Brenda couldn''t help butugh. "Okay, I agree!"


    After reaching an agreement, Brenda gave Ang the restaurant address where she had arranged to meet the blind date and hurried off. With a few hours to spare before the date, Ang chose not to return to the vi to face Keh and instead went to a mall.


    Shortly into her shopping, she ran into Debra and Jennifer.


    The two women''s smiles turned to disgust upon seeing Ang.


    Debra, more emotionally charged than Jennifer, coldly red at Ang. "Ang, you bitch, how dare you show your face around me?!" Ang frowned, choosing to ignore Debra, and turned to leave.


    However, Debra assumed that Ang was acting out of guilt and quickly walked over and blocked her way, eximing, "Stop right there! You''re the reason Henry and I broke up. Today, I''m going to teach you a lesson today!"


    She then raised her hand and was about to strike Ang. However, Ang firmly grabbed her wrist. No matter how hard Debra struggled, she couldn''t break free.


    "Let go of me, you bitch!" Debra screamed.


    Right after Debra''s outcry, she received a p across her face.


    "Ah!" Debra shouted. Ang pushed her away and retorted, "Debra, your breakup with Henry is your own doing, and it has nothing to do with me. If anyone is to me, it should be Jennifer, considering that every time youe to bother me, she''s the one who helps you out of it!"


    Jennifer''s expression shifted. "Ang, how can you say that?!"


    "You know exactly what I mean!" Ang shot back.


    Having just benefited from Jennifer, Debra was not about to heed Ang''s words.


    "You bitch! Stop trying to stir up trouble! How dare you p me?! I won''t let you get away with this!" Debra yelled.


    Debra then lunged at Ang like a madwoman. And in that instant, Ang narrowed her eyes menacingly, grabbed Debra''s hand, and delivered another p.


    "If I hear you insult me again, you''ll get more than just a couple of ps!" Ang warned.


    After being pped twice, Debra realized she was no match for Ang and gritted her teeth, irritably yelling, "You''ll regret this, Ang!"


    Ang said nothing more and simply walked away, leaving Debra and Jennifer behind.


    Jennifer quickly helped Debra up, saying, "Debra, I''ve told you before, Ang knows martial arts. The two of us are no match for her. Why are you still so impulsive?"


    Debra, gritting her teeth with hatred and thinking of her failed attempts to reconcile with Henry, said, "Jennie, I can''t swallow this insult! Since we can''t beat her physically, I''ll find another way to deal with her!"


    "What will you do?" Jennifer asked.


    Debra sneered, "I''m joining a film crew this afternoon. When they see my swollen face, they''ll definitely ask what happened. And with the Generations shoot starting next Friday, I''ll use that opportunity to make Ang regret her actions today!"


    Jennifer remained silent for a while, then voiced her concerns, "Debra, you''ve worked hard to get that role. What if something goes wrong..." "Don''t worry, I''ll take responsibility for anything that happens!" Debra asserted.


    Upon hearing this, Jennifer fell silent, and her gaze turned icy cold.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, Ang arrived at the ce where Brenda and the blind date had agreed to meet.


    Using the description Brenda had given, Ang quickly spotted a man sitting alone by the window, dressed in a silver-gray suit.


    The man wore gold-rimmed sses, his handsome featuresplemented by a gentle smile. The moment Ang saw him, she felt a sense of warmth andfort, like a breath of fresh air.


    She approached him with a smile and gently tapped the table. "Mr. Mitchell?"


    Upon hearing that, Charles Mitchell looked up and saw a strikingly beautiful face.


    He paused for a moment and then smiled, "Ms. Taylor?"


    Ang nodded and sat down opposite him.


    "Would you like something to drink?" Charles asked.


    "No, thank you I''m here today just to apologize to you personally, Mr. Mitchell. I''m not nning on dating at the moment. This blind date was arranged by my family, and I hope you understand. You can tell them you weren''t interested in me after you go back," Ang said,


    Charles remained silent for a few seconds, then shook his head. "I''m sorry, but I don''t understand."


    Ang looked surprised. "I thought I made myself quite clear, Mr. Mitchell."


    Charles looked at Ang with aposed and gentle demeanor and spoke unhurriedly. "You are not Brenda."


    Ang fell silent and felt somewhat nervous.


    Seeing that she had fallen silent, Charles continued, "I had seen Brenda''s photo beforeing here."


    Ang pressed her lips together, quickly regaining herposure, "I''m sorry, Mr. Mitchell. Brenda had an important matter and couldn''t make it, so she asked me to speak to you."


    Charles'' smile remained unchanged as he said, "I would prefer the real Ms. Taylor to apologize. And I''ll tell the matchmaker that I''m very interested in Ms. Taylor."


    *****


    Owen, who happened to be dining with a business partner, was surprised to see Ang.


    Spotting the man sitting across


    from Ang, he couldn''t help but


    frown and ponder, ''Charles has only recently returned from abroad and had never been part of Ang''s social circle. Logically, they shouldn''t know each other.''


    S


    Suddenly, a thought struck Owen. He remembered hearing that the Mitchell family had arranged a bling date for Charles. This led Owen to specte, ''Could it be that Ang is the one Charles was set to meet for the blind date?''


    With this in mind, Owen quickly called his secretary, instructing, "Check Charles'' schedule for this afternoon."


    On the way back, Ang called Brenda.


    "Bren, you might still need to meet your blind date," Ang said.


    "Why?"


    "He had seen your photo before the date, so I was found out as soon as I arrived."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    Brenda was shocked and immediately fell silent.


    She then gritted her teeth, thinking, ''It must have been the photo my mother gave!''


    "I got it. Sorry to have trouble you. It must have been awkward when you got found out," Brenda apologized.


    "Oh, not really. At the time, I was just thinking if our agreement still stands," Ang replied.


    Brenda paused for a moment, then couldn''t help but chuckle, "Don''t worry, it still stands!"


    "Alright, I won''t keep you for long. You go ahead with your work," Ang said.


    Just after finishing the call, Ang received a call from Keh.


    "Ang, where are you right now?!" he asked.
