Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 

The pressure on Angela’s shoulder vanished instantly. Dexter’s face turned as dark as a storm cloud. After a long pause, he turned and walked out of the room. Only then did Angela breathe a sigh of relief. 

As soon as Dexter left the house, Erica got out of the car and respectfully handed him the phone. 

“Mr. Bamford, Callum’s calling.” 

Dexter’s face grew even darker at that. He took the phone without saying a word. 

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. 

Finally, Callum broke the silence. “Mr. Bamford, our past issues don’t need to involve an innocent woman.” 

His voice wasn’t loud but carried an inexplicable lazy tone that was somehow infuriating. 

Dexter let out a cold laugh. Angela was anything but innocent. “She’s my wife.” 

“I know,” Callum replied calmly. “I’m not interested in her. I admire her talent. I can’t stand to see it go to waste. If you truly care about her, you wouldn’t be so petty and make a fool of yourself.” 

Callum was known for his mild temperament in the business world. He was famous for helping others, even when it meant exposing himself to betrayal. 

On the other hand, Dexter had a reputation for his strength and influence. Just the mention of his name was enough to deter troublemakers. 

Despite their contrasting personalities and approaches, they had managed to reach the same heights in their careers. 

“You have no right to interfere,” Dexter growled through clenched teeth. 

Anyone else could say those words to him, but hearing them from Callum was unbearable. 

“On the contrary, I do,” Callum said with a smile. “Ms. Graham is the kind of talent DawnStar values deeply. Even if you can’t see that, we certainly can. As long as I’m here, she’ll always have a place at DawnStar.” 

The next morning, Angela woke up early and headed to the office before the HR department even opened. 

After a short wall, Wayne Chaffin, the head of the HR department, stepped out of the elevator

Angela hurried to him, eager to withdraw her resignation request. 

Wayne set down his soy milk and pastries, turned on his computer, and logged into the internal network. He searched for a while but couldn’t find Angela’s resignation request. There were no documents on his desk either. 

“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?” Wayne teased. 

Just then, Clara rushed in from outside. “Angela, come with me. There’s trouble.” 

The HR and design departments were four floors apart. With the morning rush, the 

up the elevators were impossible to use. Thus, Clara grabbed Angela’s hand and rushed her stairs at full speed.
