Trapped with the CEO

"What if he is busy at work?" said Nancy, nervously taking the cell phone from Angela\'s hand.

"Oh, come on! It\'s just a message, not a phone call. He won\'t be bothered! He would just read the message, respond if he wants to, and that\'s it."

That sounded reasonable, thought Nancy. "Okay then, I\'ll send him a message!"

Nancy searched for Stanley\'s WeChat account on the cell phone and then tried to type something. But she was still too shy to take the first step and send him a message. Angela became anxious. She took the cell phone back from Nancy and started typing herself. "What are you busy with? I am all alone at the hospital and am getting really bored!"

Angela was at least right about that. Gage was so busy that he could spend no more than an hour every day with Nancy in the hospital.

What about the remaining time? Usually the caregivers and nurses of the hospital gave her company.

Nancy wanted to take back her cell phone. She said, "Angela, I don\'t feel messaging him would be right..."

"Don\'t worry. It\'s just a casual message... Emm... If he asks why I sent him the message, I\'ll say that I was going to send it to Arvin, but accidentally sent it to him!"

Nancy looked at Angela. She was sure that it would not be that easy to fool Stanley.

"Look Nancy, what\'s done is done. I can\'t retrieve the message now!" Anyways, she wanted to see Stanley.

After the message had been sent, the two girls continuously willed the cell phone to ring. After a long while of waiting, each secretly wondered why Stanley had not responded. Angela had been so sure that he would respond.

As time passed, they became more and more disappointed. They had waited quite long for his reply. Maybe he didn\'t want to reply. Knowing that the certainty of not receiving a reply from Stanley had saddened Nancy, Angela started feeling that she should have restrained herself from sending the message. Maybe, he was not interested in Nancy.

Seeing that it had been quite some time, Angela got up to leave. Just as she was wishing her a speedy recovery, the door of the ward flew open. Surprised, the girls looked at the door and were delighted when they saw a panting Stanley standing there.

Happy to see him, Angela ran to him and gleefully patted his shoulder. "Why didn\'t you message back! Nancy has been waiting for you, " Angela smiled.

"Angela! Please stop!" admonished Nancy turning very red. She stopped Angela from saying anything more.

Stanley took a deep breath and glanced at Nancy with his beautiful eyes. He liked the way she was blushing. "I was on duty out

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

When Angela entered the pub, she found that the music was very loud. Grimacing, she found a table in the corner and ordered the most expensive wine the pub had to offer.

Once the waiter had served her drink, she looked around to see if anybody was looking her way. Seeing that nobody was paying attention to her, she took out a small white packet. She tipped the powder in the packet into the wine and stirred it with her finger while looking around to see if somebody had seen her.

As far as she had learnt, Randal and some of his colleagues regularly came to that pub to relax themselves after hospital hours.

She had ordered the most expensive cocktail in the house because she knew that Randal was a stingy and greedy man. If he knew that the cocktail was the most expensive one in the bar, he would definitely be tempted not to refuse her offer.

While Angela was waiting for Randal to make an appearance, a lot of the other guys had approached her for a dance and drinks. But, she had rejected everybody as she was on a mission! Just then, she saw a familiar figure enter the bar.

She looked at the person and panicked, "No, no, no... No! Why hasn\'t Randal come yet?" she angrily thought to herself.

Angela did not want the man to see her there. She lowered her head, hoping that the man wouldn\'t notice her.

However, as the man got closer to her, she had no choice but to raise her head. Once her eyes settled on Arvin\'s cold face, she tentatively smiled.

"Big... Arvin, hey! What a coincidence!"

"Not exactly!" he angrily replied. "I have come to get you!" Arvin, a handsome man wearing a well-tailored business suit, attracted the attention of the many women present at the pub. Angela stared at two women who were desperately trying to catch his attention.

How dare they? He was her man!

"Emm...I\'ve got something to do here." Angela tightly held the cocktail in her hand, scared that her dirty trick would be disclosed.
