Baron still looked at Angela after he had greeted Arvin.
Angela wore a white down garment today with her hair bundled into a bun. She lay her hair on shoulders before dinner. Knowing she would go out for dinner with Arvin, she wore light makeup and had dressed up.
Obviously, Angela inherited her good appearance from her parents, Chuck and Daisy.
'What a beautiful girl.' Baron's eyes didn't stray away from Angela.
Arvin peered at Baron and then coldly replied to his question, "Yes." After that, he put his hand over Angela's shoulder and they walked away. They seemed like they didn't want to talk with Baron at all.
However, Baron followed up and blocked their path.
"How come I never met your girlfriend, Avrin?" Baron said this with his eyes stuck on Angela.
Angela felt a sense of sickness by his wretched look, so she glared at Baron.
Her angry face made Baron more interested in her. 'Wow, a troublesome one! I like her.'
"Um, can you stop with the staring? Or you wanna taste my fists?" Arvin's cold warning drew Baron's mind back. He stopped looking at Angela immediately because he knew that Arvin was always equal with his words. If he promised something, he would do it.
"I'm just asking. Don't be mad, Arvin." Baron restrained himself. He didn't want to irritate Avrin.
After a few silent seconds, Baron asked Angela again, "What's your name, beautiful?"
Angela didn't reply to him. She held Arvin's arms and smiled at him, "I want to shop."
"Yes," Arvin gently replied. Then they went past Baron and headed for the parking lot hand in hand.
Baron was envious of their loving interaction.
What he didn't expect was icy Arvin to be so attractive to so many beautiful girls. 'Why is Arvin so popular? He just has a good appearance.'
Baron felt a little envious. He waved at a man behind him. "What do you want me to do, Baron?"
"Go and investigate the girl."
It seemed Baron had a little crush on Angela. He was the kind of person that would get whatever he wanted. Well, this time, Angela was the person he wanted to get.
Baron assumed that this girl wouldn't be very important to Arvin because everyone in J City knew that Avrin already had a fiancee and that was definitely not this girl!
'She might be Arvin's lover,' Baron concluded.
As for Arvin and Angela, they arrived in the city center's shopping mall. Angela stopped before a snack shop and stared at the Oreo egg balls, her eyes lighting up. She immediately dragged Arvin into the shop.
"Which one do you like?" Arvin asked.
Angela replied to him without hesitation, "Oreo egg balls."
Avrin smiled, "Well, you wait here. I'll get it for you." Arvin pulled up a chair for Angela and left.
Angela was well seated and waited for Avrin.
Her eyes followed Avrin. Suddenly, she heard some people quarreling by the elevator.
She looked to the crowd. It was a couple and a middle-aged woman. 'That woman may be the younger woman's mother-in-law,' Angela assumed.
