The man covered Angela’s mouth with his hand, which muffled her screams. She ripped her sheet
mask off, enraged, and glared at the man who had mysteriously appeared in her room-Richard. Yes,
the man standing beside her couch was none other than Richard Lloyd.
“You… How did you get in?” Her initial shock had transformed into rage. She recalled that her mother
had assured her that not even a bird would be able to break through the state-of-the-art security
system at their home. So, how does this man, much bigger than a bird, get in?
Then, in an angry voice, she said, “You should know that the area around my house is installed with
electrical lines. So, how did you get in here? Do you want to die? You’ll be completely burned to a crisp
if you step on one of those lines!”
The man remained silent for a moment before he finally smiled faintly. “Are you about me?”
Angela, whose face was flushed with anger, clenched her teeth. “You’re overthinking it. Why would I be

Richard sat on the couch beside her and looked around her luxurious room. He couldn’t help but sigh
upon realizing that her bedroom was magnificent and regal. “It seems like things were tough for you at
the base. Looks like at home, she gets the complete royal treatment befitting a wealthy heiress, with
only the finest amenities.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she snapped, “I’m not that pampered.” Then, she thought,
That’s not the point. This man has barged into my room in the dead of night. What exactly does he
want? Don’t tell me he intends to seduce me! She looked at Richard, slightly alarmed, before speaking,
“You… What are you doing here? What are your intentions?”
He averted his gaze and gave her a playful stare. “What do you want me to do to you?”
Angela replied with a hint of irritation, “I do not want you to do anything to me.”
“Don’t worry, I just came to see you,” he explained. After dinner with Elliot, he intended to return home
but unexpectedly found himself at her doorstep. Then, he noticed the room’s light was on and assumed
it was Angela’s, so he decided to pay her a visit.
“Did you climb up the wall to get in?” she asked while pondering. Was this man a monkey in a previous
life?
“Yeah.” The man did not deny it.
“You… What if you slip and fall?” Angela said with a tone of worry.
“And you said that you’re not worried about me,” he said with a teasing grin.
“I’m not.”
“Ugh…” Richard suddenly grabbed his arm and made a painful expression.
Angela’s eyes narrowed as she sprang from the couch and ran to the man’s side. She became
concerned when she saw him holding his elbow and asked, “What happened? Are you hurt?”

“You’re still saying you’re not worried about me? Wow, women really do not mean what they say.
“You…” She became enraged and slapped him on the shoulder. “How dare you lie to me!”
Even after being slapped, Richard was still beaming with joy and pleasure. After that, he went and
made himself comfortable on her couch. Anyone who looked at him could tell he was tired because of
the space between his brows.
She felt pity for the man and reasoned that his exhaustion could be attributed to a new assignment.
“Go back home and get some rest!” She made several attempts to get him to leave.
He quickly glanced at her with his deep black eyes before resting his head on his arms and closing his
eyes. “Don’t worry. I’m only using your couch for a short time. I’ll be leaving shortly.”
