Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“I’ll send you off!” Annie hurriedly got up, not wanting to miss the last bit of time to spend with him.
Although he did not want her to send him off, she had already stood up, which left him no choice but to reluctantly nod.
With that, the two of them left the room. Without the pressure of the elders, Annie’s eyes began to stare at him curiously.
“Richard, do you like me?” she asked him boldly because she liked him very much. It was not an exaggeration to say that she fell
in love at first sight.
Richard stopped and stared at her seriously. “Annie, you are a nice girl, but marrying me will not make you happy. Please think
about it carefully.”
Annie smiled and shook her head. “I believe that marrying you will be the beginning of my happiness.”
“My work nature doesn’t allow me to spend much time with you, and it will also bring danger to your life. Are you still willing to
marry me?” he asked her calmly.
She smiled shyly and answered without hesitation, “I do.”
Richard could not figure out what was on her mind. Obviously, he was trying to
push her away, but she was still adamant about wanting to marry him. How would marrying him benefit her?
For Annie, it was a blessing to be able to marry him. No matter what difficulties she would face in the future, she was mentally
prepared to bear it with him.
“I’ll have to leave now.” Seeing that the time was running out, Richard took long strides forward, but Annie hurriedly followed
behind him.
When they appeared in the hall together, she received envious glances from all the women around, and at this moment, she
knew that she was worthy of him as this man met all her requirements. Watching him get into the car and get seated in his SUV,
Annie felt like she had given her heart to him.
Richard’s car headed straight toward his current base, which was in the direction of the suburban.

In the garden, a lady who was sitting on a chair and counting the stars was getting drowsy. She experienced all kinds of things
today, causing her to feel extremely exhausted, but she could not sleep now. She had to wait for someone to return.
She waited for no reason other than to
get her Internet connection back.
Angela was fed up today. The swelling on her forehead reminded her of how rude Richard was to her.
No one here could make the decision to return the Internet connection to her. Richard was the only person she could negotiate
with, so she must wait for him to come back.
Just as her eyelids were about to shut, she finally heard the sound of a car coming in through the iron gate, and she suddenly
regained her spirit.
That must be Richard. She immediately got off the chair and ran toward the parking lot.
When Richard opened the door and got out of the car, he suddenly heard a cold female voice calling him.
“Hey! You’re finally back.”
Richard looked at the woman under the street lamp. Her long hair was draped behind her head, and the camouflage uniform was
wrapped around her delicate body. Somehow, she managed to pull off the camouflage uniform in a different way.
“Is something wrong?” Richard frowned slightly.
“Did you order your subordinates to turn off my network?”

“Yes. From now on, you are not allowed to use the Internet.”
“Why?” Angela was annoyed. “For your safety.” Richard had plenty of reasons to do so.
“No way. I want my Internet connection back. I want it now because I have very important things to do.” Angela urged him in a
hurry. Her boyfriend was returning to the country yet she did not even find out his flight information. Therefore, she was anxious.
Richard turned his head and glanced at her.
“I want to talk to my boyfriend on the phone. You don’t know how important this relationship is to me. Losing him is like losing my
life,” Angela uttered seriously.
Richard gave her another inexplicable look.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? Do you understand how I feel?” Angela was getting even more anxious now, and then she
suddenly took a breath and huffed angrily, “How can a dummy like you understand? You must have never been in a relationship!”
“How do you know that I haven’t?”
Richard retorted with his lips pursed.
“Of course, I know! I’m a woman. No woman would fall for someone as rude and blunt as you!” Angela complained angrily.
Instead, Richard sneered at her, “Does that mean a hopeless romantic like you who can’t live without a man is more lovable?”
Angela’s face turned crimson at his statement. How dare he judge her like that?! Biting her lip, she blustered, “I don’t care. I want
to be connected to the Internet for an hour. Do it for me right now.”

“Not even a second,” Richard insisted with a cold expression and was about to leave.
Angela immediately clenched her teeth. stepped forward, and blocked his way with her arms extended. “You’re not going
anywhere before I get connected.”
Richard did not take her seriously.
Immediately, he strode toward her.
thinking that she would leave.
Who knew that instead of avoiding him. he slammed into her? All of a sudden, they were almost touching each other under the
lights.
He instantly felt a mass on his chest. Angela raised her face that had blushed the shade of a rose, yet she was stubborn. When
she realized what he had just done, she quickly took a step back.
“How dare you take advantage of me?!” She gritted her teeth.
“I’m not interested in you,” Richard replied unceremoniously.
“I don’t need you to be interested in me either. Lend me your phone. I want to call my boyfriend.” Angela could still use his phone
if she could not use hers.
“No.” Richard looked disgusted. He did not want to lend her his phone so that she could flirt with another guy over the phone!
“Five minutes will do.” Angela softened because she realized that this man was tougher than her.
She’s gonna follow me everywhere if I don’t say yes, and I have a meeting to attend now. He took his phone out. Two minutes.
That’s the best I can do.”
Angela took his phone quietly and called her boyfriend right away. She wanted to talk to him, and the call went through. but
Dexter didn’t pick up. “C’mon, pick up. What are you doing, Dexter? You should’ve already gotten off the plane,” she muttered
under her breath.
The call ended, and she made another one, but Dexter still didn’t pick up. Richard was starting to get annoyed. “Give me the
phone.”

“One minute. Just one more minute, please.” Angela made another call, but nobody picked up. Disappointed, she heaved a long
sigh. For some reason, she teared up. She missed Dexter a lot, and she tried her best to contact him, but the fact that he didn’t
pick up hurt her.
Richard stared at her, and he frowned. “That’s the guy you’d die for?” He couldn’t believe she was going to cry.
She noticed the mockery, and she bit her lip. “You have no idea what love is like. It’s a waste of time talking to you. You’ll know
how I feel when you fall in love with someone. She turned away, and tears fell down her cheeks. Angela wiped them away
awkwardly and went in the opposite direction.
She looked forlorn and lonely, especially under the dim light.
