Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 328

After that, Angela left calmly.

Clara and the others followed her into the office.

"Ms. Graham, how can you be so nice?" Clara couldn't help herself hugging Angela, tears streaming down her face in a mix of grievance and gratitude.

Angela was speechless. "Calm down. You did a great job today. If it weren't for you, more female employees might have been sexually harassed. Our company will never tolerate such a scum."

Clara replied with a nod, "But this approach leaves you vulnerable to attacks from both sides. Those men weren't convinced by you to begin with."

Angela remained unfazed. "There's nothing to fear. If they have the power to do it, they can bring me down. Otherwise, they should just remain silent."

"Ms. Graham, I'd love to take you out for dinner later," Clara suggested, her eyes sparkling with admiration. Despite being nearly the same age, Clara had become Angela's devoted supporter.

"Sure. I'm craving something with a stronger flavor," Angela replied, nearly salivating at the thought of her beloved barbecue.

Recently, her meals had become remarkably uninspiring. She found herself consuming only medicinal meals or medicine, which were either bland or bitter. While she usually managed to tolerate it, the daily routine of tasteless meals was becoming unbearable. Her life had lost its zest altogether.

"What did you say?" The office door swung open abruptly, revealing a familiar silhouette illuminated by the light behind him.

It was Dexter. Angela was shocked; she instinctively wanted to escape when she saw that he was holding food and her medicine.

Her expression shifted suddenly as she quickly gestured to Clara. "Weren't you saying that there's something urgent I need to take care of? Let's go!"

Despite not grasping the reason behind Angela's sudden behavior, Clara remained composed and tactful. "That's right. Mr. Collymore is waiting for us outside."

Dexter grabbed Angela's arm. "Hold on. Take the medicine first."

Angela's face flushed with anger. She couldn't understand why he was so persistent.

With barely concealed frustration, she asked, "Don't you have work to attend to? Why did you come to my office out of the blue?"

Yet, to her astonishment, he unexpectedly agreed. "Alright, let's go."

Angela was taken aback, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"You can skip the meal, but not the medicine," Dexter added.

Angela was extremely excited and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the medicine. It was so bitter, even more so than her life. After taking it, she drank several big gulps of water to wash away the taste.

Dexter smiled at her. After she finished her medicine, he thoughtfully pulled out a chocolate from his pocket and opened it for her.

Angela was happy with his gesture, and her mood noticeably brightened.

As they stepped out of the office, they unexpectedly ran into Marco, who was coming to apologize.
