My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 942

“Captain Lloyd, I heard you’ve got lots of books in your room. It’s really boring here. Can I go to your room and borrow a few?” Ariel asked earnestly. Angela chuckled.

“He doesn’t have the time for that. What do you want to read? I’ll go with you.”

“It’s alright, Miss Meyers. I can get them myself,” Ariel muttered unhappily.

“It’s not convenient for you to enter my room,” Richard replied to Ariel coldly as he guided Angela away with his hands on her shoulder. He did not even spare a moment to look at the other woman.

Defiance flashed in Ariel’s eyes as Richard’s reaction only triggered her competitive side. She would not give up as she believed that all men would fall to their knees before her.

On the other hand, Angela did not return to her room and instead hung out in Richard’s room while he went to a meeting. She could not sit still; she would be on the couch, but moments later, she’d sprawl across the bed or lie on her stomach while smiling to herself.

All she could think about was Richard’s kiss this morning, and she called it his ‘dominant kiss. He was domineering and rough, but she liked it a lot. As she recalled the kiss, she could not help but burrow her face in the sheets and giggled like a schoolgirl.

However, as soon as she came to her senses, she propped her head on one hand and started to worry. Richard was engaged; what she did had crossed a line, and she felt guilty about it. As long as he had not broken off the engagement, she was in the wrong.

Meanwhile, Richard was having an online meeting with his subordinates in the conference room. On the wall, the projector was showing the scene of another meeting area. Inside, there were people of different ages discussing a new emergency.

“Captain Lloyd, we’ve got orders that you can’t join this mission,” one of the older men said.

“Why is that so?” Richard narrowed his cold eyes.

“It’s an order from above. We didn’t ask for the specific reason.”

He shut his eyes for a short while and pondered. An order from above… Grandpa has retired, though. Who exactly is meddling with my mission?
