“Is there something even more important than your life?” Richard questioned as he walked toward the
conference building.
Angela trotted to keep up with him. “Yes. It’s more important than my life.”
Richard turned his head and glanced at her.
“I want to talk to my boyfriend on the phone. You don’t know how important this relationship is to me.
Losing him is like losing my life,” Angela uttered seriously.
Richard gave her another inexplicable look.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? Do you understand how I feel?” Angela 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 relationship!”
“How do you know that I haven’t?”
Richard retorted with his lips pursed.
“Of course, I know! I’m a woman. No woman would fall for someone as rude and blunt as you!” Angela

Instead, Richard sneered at her, “Does that mean a hopeless romantic like you who can’t live without a
man is more lovable?”
Angela’s face turned crimson at his statement. How dare he judge her like that?! Biting her lip, she
blustered, “I don’t care. I want to be connected to the Internet for an hour. Do it for me right now.”
“Not even a second,” Richard insisted with a cold expression and was about to leave.
Angela immediately clenched her teeth. stepped forward, and blocked his way with her arms extended.
“You’re not going anywhere before I 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 slammed into her? All of a sudden, they were almost
touching each other under the lights.
He instantly felt a mass on his chest. Angela 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.
“I don’t need you to be interested in me either. Lend me your phone. I want to call my boyfriend.”
Angela 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.” Angela softened because she realized that this man
was tougher than her.
She’s gonna follow me everywhere if I don’t say yes, and I have a meeting to attend now. He took his
phone out. Two minutes. That’s the best I can do.”
Angela took his phone quietly and called her boyfriend right away. She wanted to talk to him, and the

should’ve already gotten off the plane,” 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.”
“One minute. Just one more minute, please.” Angela 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 I feel when you fall in love with someone. She turned away, and tears
fell down her cheeks. Angela wiped them away awkwardly and went in the opposite direction.
She looked forlorn and lonely, especially under the dim light.
