Arvin was indifferent towards her objection and he said, "Your objection is invalid!"
"Then, I won't go!" Angela threatened.
Arvin was surprised and they were both silent for a long while. "No problem!" he finally said.
They left the apartment together after changing their shoes.
Angela began to realize that Arvin was annoyed because he didn't say anything until they got to the parking lot...
'Gosh! He is so proud and mean! Fine! I'll console him!' she thought. Before they got in the car, she stopped him, "Doctor Gu, I'll start listening to your orders, so could you please stop being angry?" she asked.
After all, he was just doing it for her own good to stop her from entering the research laboratory.
Arvin smiled and touched the top of her head. "Be good my baby," he said sweetly.
Angela was speechless. She was shocked by his words. She tried to blink a few times and cleaned her ears because she couldn't believe what she just heard.
Did Arvin called her baby and asked her to be good?
Did she misheard his words? Angela said in an interrogative tone, "What did you say?"
Arvin just gave her a hard look and seated in the car without uttering a single word.
Angela seemed to be glued on her spot because of the shock and confusion that she have felt. She doubted whether she had misheard his words or not...
The window at the side of the passenger seat was rolled down and Arvin asked her, "Do you want to go to work on foot?"
'Of course not!' Angela came to herself at once and decided not to think about his words, then she seated in the car.
As usual, she got off the car before they arrived at the hospital.
Luckily, she didn't arrive late.
"Angela, Angela! How nice it is to see you!" Nancy hugged Angela tightly as soon as she saw her.
Angela also hugged Nancy. "My dear Nancy, I miss you!"
Nancy pretended to be angry after hearing her words, "Liar! You have forgotten me since you got a handsome guy and now you're lying to me that you miss me!"
Angela scratched the back of her head out of embarrassment because Nancy was right. Arvin was really a handsome guy. She was really captivated by him.
"Oh, Nancy, you know that you are always in my heart!"
Nancy retrained herself from laughing and continued to pretend to be unhappy. "You are still lying! You have already thrown me out of your mind when you had sex with that man!"
Angela shook her head quickly, "We didn't have sex. We just slept in one bed!"
Although she felt strange last night, she was lucky enough that Arvin didn't do anything to her.
That made Angela feel relieved to live with Arvin.
Nancy approached Angela on purpose and glared at her, "Angela, don't lie to me. You and Dr, Gu, have you... ha?"
Angela shook her head frequently, "No! We didn't do that! I won't lie to you, Nancy."
"Fine!" Nancy nodded because she believed that Angela couldn't lie to her!
But Angela looked into Nancy's eyes with a big question on her mind, "Nancy, what's the relationship between me and Arvin? Are we friends?"
She remembered that she chose to be friends with him last night... 'So we are just friends now?' Angela doubted.
Nancy pushed her glasses and opposed, "No, no. In my opinion, you are... closer than friends but not close enough to be lovers! Yes! That's it!"
"What? Really?" Angela thought for a moment and she admitted that Nancy was right.
