Arvin stared at her close and gave Angela a Kabedon. "Come on Angela, you know you hold my romantic allegiance. Did I say I even liked Nita? No. It won't happen again. In fact, you can be in charge of who I live with from now on, alright?"
Soon, the elevator door pinged open and they walked out to her apartment.
Angela jolted in first and tried to shut the door on Arvin.
But nothing could resist his mammoth strength, so he wedged the door and flung it open effortlessly and came in at last.
He removed his shoes and clasped her hands on the couch as they talked. "Did Nita tell you this? Is that how you found out?"
"That isn't the point! You had sex with her." Angela looked at him with scorn and whipped her hands free.
If he didn't deny it, she would steel her resolve and send him packing.
Arvin said reluctantly, "I said it was an accident..."
"So, that means you did have sex?" Angela tried to control her emotion.
Meanwhile, Arvin remained silent.
Angela stood up suddenly and pushed him out of her apartment, "Get out! Get out!" Their relationship had already been contaminated with complications because of the whole Rosa thing but now there was a third party! When she thought of Arvin's stone grey slab of a body pounding the deliquescent flesh of Nita it sent a shiver down her spine.
And if it was an accident, what did the roofied sex with Angela mean besides a black-out in memory? Was that also an accident? Because to Angela it had meant a lot.
Anyway, Arvin found himself on the threshold of Angela's apartment begging for mercy. She slammed the door on him.
Arvin felt fretful and leaned one hand flat on the wide door. After a long while, he called Kent, "Can the monitoring be repaired?"
"Yes, but it might take some time..."
"How long?"
"About one week!"
"One week?" That was way too long for Arvin! He was unwilling to wait even one day! It had to be completed tonight. "You fool. Make contact with Purple Charm and repair the monitoring at any price." Arvin was suspicious of the whole event. The monitoring of that day when he had sex was broken and all supervision records were lost! It was not a coincidence!
"Okay, Doctor Gu."
"Side note, bring Nita's keeper, servants and assistant to my office tomorrow. I'm going to question them by myself." What they said was the same and it was too doubtful.
"I've got it!"
"Good. That's all." Arvin hung up the phone. He hurried downstairs in a strop. He didn't get in his car until the light in Angela's room went out.
At Gu Family
Teresa put Nita on speaker as she applied face cream.
"... Auntie, I just love Arvin too much. Maybe I've done it in a wrongful way, but at least I didn't hit Angela. But she slapped me! My god. Actually, I don't blame her. I know she also loves Arvin, but I've slept with Arvin. So, I have to fight for my happiness since Arvin and I are getting married."
Teresa stopped suddenly, "Angela slapped you?"
"Yes... My mother had to apply ice on my face... It's all swollen. It doesn't matter. As long as she leaves Arvin alone forever then it's okay and I don't care about the physical injuries. You win some you lose some."
Teresa said after a short while, "Angela is too self-righteous. Nita, does Arvin know she did this?"
