Chapter 233

“Don’t hang up. Talk to me about anything.”
Angeline said, “Well, since you care about me so much, I’ll tell you something you don’t know. Heather does have feelings for you. It’s just that there’s a six-year age gap between you two, and she can’t accept it.
“So, she chooses to avoid her feelings. If you try a bit harder and be more brazen, you’ll soon be able to win her over-as long as you don’t disturb her while she’s working.”
Seeing how Danny genuinely cared for her well-being, she dropped him a hint.
“I appreciate it. You’re even worried about my lifelong happiness at a time like this!” said Danny.
“Heather has a bit of a complicated personality. She’s always saying one thing but meaning another. You have to figure out when she’s telling the truth and when she’s being sarcastic.” “Boss… you’re in danger, and here you are teaching me how to pursue Heather? I’m at the intersection of Walmesley Drive and Clover Street.”
“I simply don’t want you to end up an old bachelor and die alone!” Angeline said, chuckling lightly.
Her gaze was fixed on the car following her cab closely from behind.
Just as the driver turned, she saw Danny ignoring the traffic rules. He flashed his hazard lights and stopped his car at the intersection of Walmesley Drive and Clover Street.
At the sight of the cab, Danny hurriedly approached.
“I see you!”
Without hanging up the phone, Angeline said to the taxi driver, “Please pull over by the roadside.”
Danny opened the door for Angeline.
Once she got into his car, he asked, “Is there something wrong with the cab driver?”
She looked through the rearview mirror at the black Passat behind them and said, “Someone’s been following me from my place.”
He fastened his seatbelt while glancing behind.
“The black Passat? The one with the car plate number JFW-5603?”
“Yeah,” she answered.
“Let’s see if that’s the car that’s been tailing you,” Danny said as he stepped on the accelerator.
Danny drove with the car behind them through the streets of Krontos, and sure enough, the black Passat continued to tail them closely.
“Alright! Indeed, it’s following you,” he confirmed as he smiled.
“Since whoever’s tailing me won’t be giving up anytime soon, let’s get to dinner first. We’ll figure out who sent them later,” she said nonchalantly. “Okay. I’ll call someone over in a bit,” he replied.
The two of them had been circling the city several times with the black Passat following them, so they arrived late at the restaurant.
Sitting in the spot with the best view, Simon had been frequently checking his watch.
He took a sip of lemon water and turned to look toward the entrance. Shortly after, he saw Danny and Angeline entering the restaurant from behind a waiter.
In the dimly lit restaurant, Angeline’s
dress swayed gracefully as she
walked. Despite her simple and
casual attire, she couldn’t hide her exceptionally fair complexion and exquisite features. She instantly became the center of attention.
Simon smiled and stood up to pull out a chair for her.
“Long time no see!” he exclaimed.
After several years, apart from her newfound composure and confidence, Angeline seemed to be exuding hint of femininity that she didn’t have before. Perhaps it was because of her long, cascading hair, which made her look gentler than ever.
“Long time no see,” Angeline repeated with a gentle smile as she took her seat.
“After the conference at Dmont, I
had so many questions I wanted to
l.n
ask you. tried several times to ask Professor Sharpe about your whereabouts, but he said you were
injured, and there was no news after that.”

Simon looked at Danny and added, “I didn’t expect you to have joined Vitality Biotech Group.”
