Desperate Lovers

Chapter 196 Where was Angela.

For each word James said, Jessica’s face darkened a bit. Unlike her usual eloquent self, she cannot

utter a single word.

“I have other things to tend to, and have to leave now.” James glanced indifferently at Jessica and

walked to the door.

“James,” Jessica called out in trance, “will you regret for your choice?”

He turned round and looked at her, “Not for you to concern.”

“Really?” she laughed bleakly, a laugh mixed with all kinds of emotions.

James took a deep look at her, then walked out of the cinema without a single word, heading to the

company.

In the company lobby, Greyson, nearly half his body was bandaged, sat on the sofa gloomily. Luna was

sitting next to him, burying herself in her mobile phone.

The receptionist’s eyes brightened when she saw James, as if she saw a savior, “Mr. James, you are

here!”

She took a sideway glance at Greyson and Luna then lowered her voice, “Mr. and Mrs. Chante had

been waiting here since the morning. They asked you to hand out Angela…”

“I will take it from here.” James handed over his briefcase to the receptionist and said.

This was exactly what the receptionist was waiting for. She grabbed the briefcase and hastily walked

away.

“Where was Angela?” Greyson was about to stand up when Luna held him down. He felt inferior to

have to look up at James like this.

“Banboo Estate, with me,” said James.

“You mother fucker!” Greyson swung his walking stick at James and tried to hit him.

James threw out Angela with no clothes on a few days ago and now he forced her to stay with him?

What was this? How could he treat Angela like a pet and do whatever he wanted?

James tilted his head slightly and grabbed the stick. “A barbarian with no brain,” he said slowly.

They were making quite a commotion, and some employees glanced over, but did not dare to stare.

Mr Lee happened to walk by and caught the scene. He ordered his subordinate to require everyone

except the receptionists to leave. He merely greeted James and hurriedly left.

“What did you just say?” Greyson’s face darkened.

James let go of the stick and said lightly, “Retard.”

Always relying on violence, Greyson was not a good protector of Angela, even if James handed her

over. Jessica could screw him up without even moving a finger.

Greyson always disliked James. Under current circumstances, anger rushed to his head and made him

about to retort.

Luna tweaked his ear and warned, “Don’t mess things up for Angela again!” Then she pushed him

down.

Geryson, like a leaked balloon, could only take his anger out on his cast.

“Mr. James.” Luna tried to be as polite as possible, “Angela told me you two already cleared the

misunderstandings and became lovers now. She was not very stable recently. Could you please let her

stay with us for a couple of days to ease her tension?”

Luna and Greyson thought, even if they were not of great help, they could persuade Mr. James to let

Angela stay with them for a while.

“Not a chance.” James rejected without any hesitation.

A hothead like Geryson rose at once after hearing James’s answer and pointed his walking stick

toward James. “You! You tortured her when you misunderstood her. Now everything is cleared up, but

you still don’t let her go! Do you have a heart?”

“You can visit her or ask her out if you want to. But in no way is she going to live with you.” James took

a look at his watch and instructed the receptionist to take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Chante, grabbed

his briefcase and went upstairs.

Greyson did not want to give it up like this and wanted to follow James, as his sister was having a bad

time and he wanted the bastard to live in hell!

Luna stopped him and said, “He was right about you being a retard!”

Greyson could retort when James insulted him. But if it were her wife who insulted him, he could do Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

nothing about it.

“He would only take it out on Angela if you kept pressing on him.” Luna sighed and said gloomily, “Let’s

wait and see. We could send Angela away if we do not have other choices.”

But James would not let them go for sending Angela away.

Angela asked the driver to take her to the job market instead of Bamboo Estate. She could not stay

with James forever and got to find a job to support herself.

She paid the driver after arrival. The job market was crowded with people, full of talking recruiters and

candidates. As Angela just walked in, a man asked her smilingly, “What kind of jobs you are looking for,

young lady?” “I am just looking around, thanks,” she replied.

She took a look around. There were a lot of vacancies for programmers, designers and accountants.

But she did not have any knowledge in these areas.

She kept looking and stopped at a poster recruiting classical dancing teacher for an educational

institute. She stared at the poster and could not move her feet.

“Want to give it a try?” the recruiter smiled and asked, “We have a good offer. Probation will be three

months with monthly salary of 3500 dollars. After probation, basic salary will be 6000 dollars. Meals,

accommodation and insurance are included. You will be entitled to a 3000 to 6000 dollars bonus based

on your performance.”

Angela forced herself to look away and said, “I am just looking around, thank you.”

“It’s ok to be shy at such a young age,” The recruiter seemed to know what Angela was thinking, “Don’t

get nervous. Just pretend that you are practicing as usual and dance a little for us.”

“If you are too shy to dance in public, you can leave us a resume and we will contract you for an

interview. A phone number will also do if you don’t have your resume with you.” The recruiter was very

enthusiastic. The old classical dance teacher resigned without any notice and the institute was in

urgent need of a replacement. Previous applicants were not satisfying and the principal required the

human resources department to find a suitable teacher within a week.

“Really. No. But thank you. I just want to take a look around.” Angela hided her right leg subconsciously

and tried to smile. Without giving a chance to the recruiter to speak again, she ran away hopelessly to

a different direction.

She could still hear the recruiter’s voice from far behind, “Oh, she is a disabled”

The voice was barely audible but like a thunder to Angela. The color drained from her face. She

clenched her fists and walked hurriedly with her eyes looking down at her feet.

“I am so sor….” She bumped into someone but her apology hung in the air when she saw the person

she bumped into.

It was Danis.
