Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 153

From the benign darkness came a familiar voice to Sven's ears. "Brother, what are you doing home?"

Angela, who had just woken up from a shallow and restive sleep, pressed the ball of her palm into one of her eyes and stared at the figure of Sven out of perplexity.

"Angela, you're awake? I came back because I forgot something. What are you doing downstairs?" Sven hesitated, 'Should I tell my sister about Arvin's call or not? What kind of brother would I be if I don't?'

"I couldn't sleep well. I was thirsty. I'm getting a drink of water." Presently, she went straight down to the kitchen to get herself a glass of lukewarm, limey water.

"Okay. That's understandable. You've had a long, exciting week. You're probably all jacked up from that still. But you do need to rest. So go upstairs and sleep." As she turned, Sven mulled it over one last time. He decided against familial ties, he wouldn't tell his sister about the call.

Angela went back to her room upstairs, and when she got there, the phone was ringing out again. It was Arvin...

She didn't answer her phone out of anxiety for what it portended. But sooner rather than later, a text message popped up from Arvin. The message was almost as cruel as a call in terms of the anxiety and stress it caused Angela. The message read: "If you don't answer the phone, I'm going to C Country to talk to your mum!"

...

It started to ring again, and this time Angela answered. "What do you want?" she asked rudely. A little too rudely, so she added, "Director Gu."

"Angela, who allowed you to go on this blind date? Come back to my apartment immediately!" Angela, who still strove to wipe the sleeps out of her eyes, was confused. The words swum up into her consciousness and dashed away again, meaninglessly.

'What is he talking about? A blind date?' "What blind date? I'm sleeping at my home..."

Arvin's anger disappeared upon hearing her soft spoken voice.

Impulsion is the devil's sin! And that made Angela his weak spot! He wasn't able to calm his passions from exploding one by one. Especially not when they related to Angela.

'Okay! I was teased by Sven!'

"What blind date?" Angela asked him.

Arvin coughed and said, "Nothing. I would like to talk to you after the New Year celebration."

Angela sat in the cup-like seat fashioned from her quilt and said, "It depends on my mood."

"... Angela." He said her name in low serious tenor.

"Don't you miss me?"

"Doctor Gu, you can talk to me right now! You don't have to wait till after the New Year." Although she sounded normal, Angela was so sentimentally excited that she grabbed the sheet tightly to control her emotion...

Arvin was silent for a while, "I'd like to talk to you face to face. I'm going to C Country, you..."

"I won't be free to talk then, I'll be busy." She refused his suggestion at once without recourse for a second thought.

Then, everything became silent. Arvin felt a little pain bruise his heart.

"Angela, I promise that nothing happened between Nita and me."

'Oh my, what was that?' Angela thought. Why did he say that? He admitted it was an accident at that night! But why did he now say that nothing happened between them?

Maybe Arvin could register her confusion over the phone because next moment, he continued by saying, "I'm repairing the monitoring record. I'll show you the evidence." Gasp! It was all Fabian's fault. He said he was a little busy and had no time to repair the record.

Arvin was so mad that he almost wanted to change his job! He even wanted to repair the monitoring record by himself!

Angela was in a complicated mood when she heard this, with no clear cut feeling. "But..." she whispered. ''This has absolutely nothing to do with me!' She finished the sentence in her mind.

Despite nothing having transpired between Arvin and Nita, Rosa still hadn't shown up yet.

Arvin said nothing.

In the end, Arvin hung up on Angela. Angela recalled what Arvin said and thought he must be angry...

After lunch, Angela left her home without telling anyone.

Why did she leave her home in secret? Because she was going to see Arvin... Since she came back from J City, Chuck had asked her everyday to leave Arvin.
