Clara's initial perception of Dexter, which started off quite negative, had transformed into a positive one. Moreover, since Dexter was looking out for Angela, Clara was naturally inclined to support him.
Thus, Angela truly lost her freedom to eat. Dexter instructed Joanne to deliver meals to her.
Occasionally, when he was available, he would make the effort to visit her at Graham Group. Within just a few days, Dexter's food deliveries had practically turned into a sensation among the employees.
Word spread quickly among female employees that Angela excelled at managing the company and her private life. Many wanted her to hold a class to teach them how to handle men effectively.
Angela laughed at the trending topic on the company's internal portal. "Is it really that big of a deal? Are all our employees this open-minded?
"Some even asked if I've been in love multiple times, implying I'm proficient at managing men. Do I really give off the impression that I would sacrifice everything for a man?"
At that moment, a memory struck her, leaving her with a twinge of guilt. But she dismissed it. She couldn't change the past, and there was no point in dwelling on it. Certain chapters had closed, and her seemingly perfect life allowed no room for flaws.
"Ms. Graham, I truly believe you can teach everyone. You're awesome!" Clara sincerely praised. Her compliment was direct and concise.
"I'm not awesome. I'm just more sober than anyone else." Angela sighed, casually scrolling on her phone.
She remarked casually, "Besides, health is important—fuck!"
Just as Clara was about to step out, she heard Angela curse, leaving her so stunned that she nearly lost her balance.
"What's the matter?" She turned her head to find Angela, typically composed even during crises, standing frozen in disbelief.
