Putting on her mask again, Angela hurried out and took a taxi to the Harvey Group.
Sitting on the back seat, Angela looked outside the window and all she was thinking about in her mind was James.
'I should trust him to have nothing to do with Mom's death!'
Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at the building of the Harvey Group.
Angela got off and went into the building without even taking the change.
"What can I do for you?" said the receptionist with a smile as she saw Angela.
"Where is James?" asked Angela as she took off her sunglasses and mask and put them on again.
The receptionist recognized her and pushed the button for the elevator and said, "Mr. James is in the 26th floor."
"Thank you," said Angela as she went into the elevator and pushed the button for the 26th floor. Looking anxiously at the changes of the floor number, Angela couldn't wait to show up before James right now.
The elevator arrived.
Taking a deep breath, Angela went out of the elevator with her bag and walked to the office of the president.
Angela met few people on this floor and they just glanced and nodded at her with little curiosity.
When Angela arrived at the door of the president's office, she saw through the crack of the door that James was standing by the French window with his back on her and was speaking to someone on the phone.
"Have you dealt with the death of Mrs. Chante?"
James' voice rang out when Angela was going to knock. With a sudden constriction of her pupils, Angela was stunned.
'What does he mean?'
"Okay, don't let Angela know it and remotely delete the chatting records on Mrs. Chante's phone," rang out James' voice again.
With her hand down limply, Angela couldn't help trembling and looked pale.
'Why does he ask someone to delete the chatting records on Mom's phone?'
'Why can't I know it?'
'Did James really have something to do with Mom's death?!'
"Miss Angela?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the back of Angela.
With a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, Angela turned slowly to see Howard Lee. She took off her mask and smiled at him.
"Why don't you get in?" asked Howard in a curious voice.
Hearing the sound, James hung up and walked out to look at the Angela.
"I just arrived," said Angela with a smile though her hand was sweating, "and I'm bored at home and it's inconvenient to get to the company. So I come to James."
She glanced at James with a pretending carelessness and couldn't tell anything from his face.
"It seems that I come in the wrong time. I'll make it brief and leave as soon as I'm done!" said Howard jokingly.
"You must be joking," said Angela insincerely as her mind was a mess.
Glancing at Angela thoughtfully, James opened the door to let them in and habitually took over her bag while Angela avoided his hand subconsciously. James looked up at her with an obscure expression on his face.
Under the eyes of James, Angela felt an oppression in chest and said, "Where's the bathroom? I drank two cups of milk tea on the way here."
"It's over there," said James as he gazed at Angela for a while and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
With a nod, Angela went to the bathroom absently. She went into a cubicle directly, locking the door and sitting on the toilet.
