Chapter 995
Night of Destiny
The man covered Angelaâs 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.
âYou⦠How did you get in?â 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, âYou 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? Youâll be completely burned to a crisp
if you step on one of those lines!â
The man remained silent for a moment before he finally smiled faintly. âAre you about me?â
Angela, whose face was flushed with anger, clenched her teeth. âYouâre overthinking it. Why would I be
worried about you?â
Richard sat on the couch beside her and looked around her luxurious room. He couldnât help but sigh
upon realizing that her bedroom was magnificent and regal. âIt 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, âIâm not that pampered.â Then, she thought,
Thatâs not the point. This man has barged into my room in the dead of night. What exactly does he
want? Donât tell me he intends to seduce me! She looked at Richard, slightly alarmed, before speaking,
âYou⦠What are you doing here? What are your intentions?â
He averted his gaze and gave her a playful stare. âWhat do you want me to do to you?â
Angela replied with a hint of irritation, âI do not want you to do anything to me.â
âDonât worry, I just came to see you,â he explained. After dinner with Elliot, he intended to return home
but unexpectedly found himself at her doorstep. Then, he noticed the roomâs light was on and assumed
it was Angelaâs, so he decided to pay her a visit.
âDid you climb up the wall to get in?â she asked while pondering. Was this man a monkey in a previous
life?
âYeah.â The man did not deny it.
âYou⦠What if you slip and fall?â Angela said with a tone of worry.
âAnd you said that youâre not worried about me,â he said with a teasing grin.
âIâm not.â
âUghâ¦â Richard suddenly grabbed his arm and made a painful expression.
Angelaâs eyes narrowed as she sprang from the couch and ran to the manâs side. She became
concerned when she saw him holding his elbow and asked, âWhat happened? Are you hurt?â
The manâs eyes changed from one of pain to one of playfulness. He narrowed his eyes before saying,
âYouâre still saying youâre not worried about me? Wow, women really do not mean what they say.
âYouâ¦â She became enraged and slapped him on the shoulder. âHow dare you lie to me!â
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.
âGo back home and get some rest!â 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. âDonât worry. Iâm only using your couch for a short time. Iâll be leaving shortly.â
