“Captain Lloyd, I heard you’ve got lots of books in your room. It’s really boring here. Can I go to your
room and borrow a few?” Ariel asked earnestly. Angela chuckled. “He doesn’t have the time for that.
What do you want to read? I’ll go with you.”
“It’s alright, Miss Meyers. I can get them myself,” Ariel muttered unhappily.
“It’s not convenient for you to enter my room,” Richard replied to Ariel coldly as he guided Angela away
with his hands on her shoulder. He did not even spare a moment to look at the other woman.
Defiance flashed in Ariel’s eyes as Richard’s reaction only triggered her competitive side. She would
not give up as she believed that all men would fall to their knees before her.
On the other hand, Angela did not return to her room and instead hung out in Richard’s room while he
went to a meeting. She could not sit still; she would be on the couch, but moments later, she’d sprawl
across the bed or lie on her stomach while smiling to herself.

domineering and rough, but she liked it a lot. As she recalled the kiss, she could not help but burrow
her face in the sheets and giggled like a schoolgirl.
However, as soon as she came to her senses, she propped her head on one hand and started to worry.
Richard was engaged; what she did had crossed a line, and she felt guilty about it. As long as he
had not broken off the engagement, she was in the wrong.
Meanwhile, Richard was having an online meeting with his subordinates in the conference room. On
the wall, the projector was showing the scene of another meeting area. Inside, there were people of
different ages discussing a new emergency.
“Captain Lloyd, we’ve got orders that you can’t join this mission,” one of the older men said.
“Why is that so?” Richard narrowed his cold eyes.
“It’s an order from above. We didn’t ask for the specific reason.”
He shut his eyes for a short while and pondered. An order from above… Grandpa has retired, though.
Who exactly is meddling with my mission?
“Alright, you guys go ahead with the mission. Report to me immediately if there’s any progress.”
“Understood. We hope that Captain Lloyd believes in our abilities to complete it exceptionally.”
“I do.” Richard nodded in approval.
After the meeting, four of Richard’s subordinates remained seated and stole glances at him as he was
deep in thought. After a moment, he asked them to leave.
“Please leave the room. I need to make a call.”
The four of them immediately stood up and left. In the quiet conference room, Richard was scrolling
through his contacts and stopped on a number he had not contacted for a long time. Then, he called
the number without hesitation.

superiority.
“Are you the one interfering with my mission?” Richard rubbed his brows and spat the question out.
“Yes, you’re not fit for this mission.”
“Why am I not fit for it?”
“It’s related to your father’s death.”
His expression turned cold, and intense hatred could be seen in his eyes. The sounds of his joints
cracking could be heard as he clenched his fists on the table. “Let me join the mission.” Richard took a
deep breath and pleaded with the man.
“No can do,” answered the person determinedly.
