Angela’s eyes widened. “What? Are you guys going to get beaten up?”
“No, not really. But we’ve never won against Mr. Richard in a fight, so we’d always get beaten up,” Jared said with a bitter laugh.
She wheezed at his words. After lunch, many went for an afternoon nap, but she wanted to hang out in Richard’s room.
She made two cups of coffee and went to his room. He was just making a call when he saw her come in and whispered into the phone, “I’ll call you back in a bit.”
Angela froze at the door with the coffee in her hands, for it felt like she was intruding on his space.
“I got you some coffee.” Angela walked in and placed the cup down. She took her cup of coffee and said, “I’ll go back to my room so that I don’t disturb you. Please continue with your call.”
She wanted to leave as she finished her words.
“Don’t be angry. My job requires me to keep the information confidential,” he explained.
After mulling over it for a while, Angela nodded. ‘Okay, I understand. I’m not angry anymore.”
She knew where Richard was coming from, but she was still a little upset. She wanted to know him better and enter his world, but the doors to his heart were shut tight with no way of opening them.
It seemed like she only knew what was on the outside; she could see his appearance and personality, but she had no idea what was on his mind, and that made her anxious.
Angela knew better than to stay, so she left. At 3.00PM, she arrived at the boxing. gym and saw Richard and his subordinates already in their boxing attire.
“Sit here, Miss Meyers. I prepared some snacks for you to eat while you watch the match.” Trevor was being considerate as he guided her to a seat.
She was helpless; it felt weird to snack while watching them getting beaten up.
“Hang in there, Willy! Help us exhaust Captain Lloyd even more so that we’ll receive fewer punches,” Sean hollered at the side.
