"Yes, Angela. He is the youngest son of the chairman of Jiang Group! He is well-known in the Shine Empire!" A man, who might be Anthony's friend, spoke to Angela. Just like Anthony, he looked like a rascal and he was a little...... sissy.
Angela forced a smile and answered," Thank you, sister Ellie. I will ask for your help when I get into trouble in the future. I don't want to bother you, brother-in-law."
What she meant was easy to understand. If she really got into trouble, she would ask for Anthony's help through Ellie because she didn't want to ask him directly.
Ellie was impressed by this girl. She smiled and said," Angela, you're my sister-in-law! You can always ask for our help whenever you need, your brother-in-law will agree to that! Is that right, darling?"
Ellie smiled lovingly at Anthony and caressed his arms.
Anthony got a little annoyed, but he tried not to show it. "Of course, Angela. I am very glad to meet you. Come, let's have one more drink!"
......
Unconsciously, Angela has drunk half of the wine glass already.
When Anthony went back to his seat, Angela looked at Randal who was seated beside her. He didn't speak too much.
She could not drink anymore. If she did, she would get drunk.
"Ellie, you should all eat first. My mother called me when I was driving and I forgot to call her back. I want to give her a call now."
Ellie approved. "Come back soon."
"Okay."
Angela nodded her head to Randal. She took her phone and walked out of the room.
While walking in the corridor, Angela scrolled through her phone contacts to find someone who could come and pick her up.
Right at that moment, she saw a man who came out of the room. He was talking on his phone. She looked closely so she could recognize who it was. 'Well, is that Arvin?'
An idea popped into her mind. Why not ask for Arvin's help?
She thought about it for a few minutes and stared at him. When Arvin noticed her, he gave her a cold look. She was still not sure whether she should ask for his help.
She had always offended him whenever she was in the hospital, but there was still a little possibility that Arvin might not refuse her in private, right?
She interrupted Arvin, who was on his way back to the room," Dear..... Respectable Mr. Gu!"
Arvin looked at her in a shocked and terrified way. The way she have called him definitely drew his attention.
The red wine that she just drank gave her a red blush on her cheeks. Just like when she got drunk at that night, which happened a long time ago.
She knew that he would look at her with a blank expression. Out of embarrassment, she rubbed her hands, then asked," Did you arrive here just now?"
"So, what is your point? What do you want from me?"
"...... Can I ask for your help?" For her own sake, she tried her luck and asked him.
However, Arvin refused her. "No!"
"......" Angela felt so upset because of his ruthless behavior. "For the sake of my brother, can you help me?"
"No!"
Was she too thick-skinned and insensitive for asking help from him? Angela felt awful for asking help. She looked down and took a deep breath. "Okay. It's fine. Sorry if I bothered you."
Then, she fixed her eyes on her phone and continued to search for someone in her contacts. Because Arvin refused him, she had to call other people.
Just when Arvin decided to head back inside, he heard Angela's voice behind him. "Arnold, I'm in Venus International now and I drank so much wine. I might drink more later if you don't come here. Can you pick me up?"
