275 | Will Never Lose
Richard was dressed in a black suit, looking quite like Wayne. However, they appeared to be two completely different
people: Richard seemed much friendlier than Wayne.
Anna glanced at him, but she sensed that his gentleness was deceptive.
She said, "No, thanks. | need to return to the office and then place the order at the factory. It's the only way | can repay the Joan Group's trust in us.”
Richard said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that you really take your job very seriously. I've heard that my cousin now works for the Gabriel Group. Is that true? | didn't expect that you'd be able to persuade someone as conceited as him to work in a small company. He appears to be willing to do whatever you want him to.”
Anna was irritated by Richard, who was speaking in such a strange tone. Impatiently, she said, "Okay, stop asking me any more questions. | think you'd better do what you have to do. Otherwise, you will be fired again, just like before.”
Hearing that, Richard's face darkened, and his tone became gloomy.
"Oh, it appears that he would tell you everything,” he said.
Til find out from someone else if he doesn't tell me. | used to work for the Carousel Group, so I'm familiar with the company.” Anna said.
Richard snorted and remarked, "Well, you only know what's on the surface instead of knowing the facts."
"Actually, | don't need to know. If you've lost once, chances are you'll lose again, or even three times.”
Richard lifted his chin and said coldly, "I've never lost. I've just spent the last three years strengthening myself. So, | have no idea what it means to lose, and | refuse to admit that | have lost.”
"What exactly do you mean?” Ann asked, her brow furrowed.
Richard didn't explain anything further but said, "Well, since you don't want to have lunch with me, I'm going to leave.”
He then took a stride into the elevator.
Anna remained motionless, the words Richard had just said echoed in her mind. She had the impression that his words had a deeper meaning. Plus, she had no idea what he meant by "strengthening myself.”
Anna then slowly walked out of the hall and reflected on these two words.
Several minutes later, Mona pulled up in the Gabriel Group parking garage and reminded Anna that they had arrived.
It was at that moment that Anna suddenly realized what Richard meant.
Seeing that Anna didn't seem to hear her, Mona said again, "Miss Gabriel, we've arrived at the company. Aren't you going to get out of the car?”
Anna regained her composure and said, "Thank you. Mona, will you please deliver these papers to Andrew for me? I've got some other things to do.”
"Okay," Mona said after a brief pause.
Anna then drove directly to the Military Academy.
Ryan was attending lectures at the time.
The university was different from others. It was much more strictly managed. As a result, Anna was unable to drive her car into campus.
Anna waited for Ryan to arrive on his bike for ten minutes at the entrance.
"What's the matter, Anna? You told me something emergency happened.” Ryan asked Anna as soon as he stopped his bike.
'j suspect that Richard was the one who harmed Matthew before,” Anna said immediately. Then she told Ryan about what Richard had said to her in the hall.
Ryan frowned briefly as he pondered over Richard's words.
